I was not able to find a hitch with the numbers you referenced online or in our system, but we do have trailer hitches that are designed to work with your Sierra. The trailer hitches we offer depend on the bumper you have on your Sierra. This is so you have the clearance for the receiver tube.
If you have a standard bumper on your Sierra, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 75362. This is a class lll hitch and it has a 2 inch receiver opening.
If you have a 10 inch deep drop bumper on your truck the trailer hitch you need is part # 13339, and if you have an aftermarket roll pan bumper I recommend part # 13932. Both of these hitches are Class lll and have 2 inch receiver openings.
If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
If you are able to find other numbers on the hitch you were given or let me know what year make and model vehicle it was removed from I may be able to find out more information about the hitch and what it does fit.
