Keeping your General Motors vehicle running correctly is important in order to extend the life of the vehicle. Many people purchase a new General Motors vehicle and will follow the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule. However, other people will only perform oil changes and do little else to maintain the vehicle. Not following regular maintenance schedules can lead to parts wearing out sooner and needed replaced more often. The use of GM part# to replace worn out parts for people who seek original equipment is often obtained from ACDelco.
ACDelco is the parts manufacturing division of General Motors which was founded in 1916 as a separate division which manufacturers all parts and components to build General Motors vehicles. ACDelco was originally founded under the name of United Motors by General Motor’s founder William C Durant. Durant also was the founder of Chevrolet as well as the owner of Buick. Durant had previously owned a successful carriage company where he used a separate division, which he also created, to supply all the materials and parts to the primary company for building the carriages. Following this same concept is what led Durant to create United Motors in order to supply all General Motors brands with GM part#.
United Motors was founded by combining several smaller parts manufacturers and suppliers, including Remy Electric Company, Dayton Engineering Laboratories Company, New Departure Manufacturing Company, and Hyatt Roller Bearing Company. In 1908, Durant had partnered with Albert Champion, the founder of Champion Ignition Company to create AC spark plugs; a division of General Motors after Albert Champion had lost control of his company. AC spark plugs were providing GM part# ignition components as well as spark plugs to all General Motors automobile divisions.
Prior to 1918, United Motors was able to sell parts to other manufacturers, including Ford, which General Motors did not like. After 1918, United Motors was fully acquired by GM for a long period prevented the division from manufacturing parts for other competitors. By 1944 the company had become fully integrated into General Motors providing GM part# for all General Motors divisions. In the 1970’s the Delco name was used with various GM divisions and grew in popularity with consumers, and as a result United Motors became United Delco. Delco is an abbreviated version of Dayton Engineering Laboratories Company which was one of the original companies used to create United Motors.
In the mid-1970s, General Motors was looking into ways to combine operations and cut back no expenses amid the economic conditions occurring at the time, including an oil crisis. As a result, GM merged together AC spark plugs with United Delco to create ACDelco, because both divisions were supply the same customers and combing operations would mean better exposure for GM part# made by both divisions.
