Need to replace the cartridges and need to know which ones to get.
Details on the cartridge are - 1 11/16 height, bottom of cartridge is 3/4 in dia. spline count is 24 with the shaft dia at the splines 5/16, height of bottom half(threaded and below)is 13/16 in. Hex size (wrench size) is 17mm, which makes me think metric and therefore imported and probably unavailable.

Take the stem and a pic of the faucet to the plumbing supply house they should lead you in the right direction unless the manufacturer has their name on it somewhere

It may be easier and faster to just buy a new "blue light special" faucet and replace it.

That is probably what I will end up doing.
This Pfister faucet styling is strikingly close but the cartridge is not Pfister.

There is a name on it under the spout I can’t tell if it says glacier bay or gerber

Glacier Bay is not good quality normally. i would replace it with a Price Pfister or other Name Brand like Moen or Delta.
