The new actuator is much larger outside, but for some reason, it's shorter inside, requiring this slug, which is included in the kit. The instructions say to push it in with a screwdriver & then install the actuator, but I decided I'd rather have it attached. I used E6000 the day before, so it's secure today.

The revised GM actuator looks exactly like this one, other than having "POLLACK" molded into the connector end - even the threadlocker is the same color, which makes me think they come off the same assembly line. All the aftermarket actuators I looked at in local parts stores (BWD & some other brand) were absolutely identical to this one in every way, other than price.
