You'll might want to check the RPO codes for the alternator size you have in your 2018 GMC Sierra 3500 to determine the amperage rating for the alternator so that you pick a properly rated isolator.
K68-105 amp
KG8-130 amp
KG3-145 amp
KW1-160 amp
Most likely you have the highest rated alternator so you'd want to go with the Redarc Smart Start Isolator part # 331-SBI212D which is a dual-sensing 12 volt isolator rated for up to 200 amps.
