Hey Kevin, so we don't carry Pullrite but I tried to see if they carry a Superglide that fits the OEM pucks of your 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 and it seems like they do but I wasn't able to get an exact part number but I do have a great solution that is similar that I think you might like.

We have the Demco Hijacker Autoslide part # DM29GV that fits your pucks directly, is an auto slider, has a 21k capacity and has advantages over the Pullrite in that it doesn't require a capture plate to attach to your pin box and is height adjustable unlike the Pullrite. Overall its just really well-made and has a tight jaw design as well.
