F Cable – GM (42854407)

The f cable here is the GM part, numbered 42854407. It is catalogued under Cables & Linkage > Cables.

• Where the vehicle is close to a model-year change, the VIN is a more reliable guide than the registration date.
• Cable fitment turns on the end fittings at each end, the conduit length, and whether the assembly includes the retaining clips and boots.
• A cable even a few millimetres short will not reach its bracket regardless of routing, so overall length is worth confirming before ordering.

The photographs on a listing show the actual stock item, so compare the mounting points and the connector or fitting rather than the overall shape. Corrosion at a mounting face is worth cleaning back before fitting anything new, because a part that sits on scale will work loose.

The part number is the thing to verify. Where the old part carries no legible number, a VIN and a photograph are enough for us to identify it. Handed to the carrier within one to two business days from our US warehouse, free over $59.
