The Genuine GM Engine Piston 12656874 is specifically designed for 2014-2021 Silverado and Sierra vehicles equipped with a 6.2 engine. This piston is essential in the engine's internal combustion process, compressing the air-fuel mixture before ignition and then transferring the force from the combustion's expanding gases to the crankshaft. This OEM part comes straight from the manufacturer's packaging, ensuring it meets the high standards and quality synonymous with parts acquired from a new car dealership, setting it apart from aftermarket counterparts.
