    This new American Axle differential has a cover very similar in shape and bolt hole pattern to the cover on 2001 to 2019 trucks. But the covers and gaskets are not the same and not interchangeable.

    Benefits:

    • Drain and magnetic drain plug included
    • Heavy duty, sand cast aluminum
    • Finned for heat dissipation
    • Works with brake line bracket, no modification needed
    • About 3/8 inches deeper than stock for clearance to sway or pan hard bars
    • Shape similar to stock cover
    • Extra capacity

    GM vehicles that probably have these new differentials:

    • 2020 GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 trucks
    • 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and 3500 trucks

    Configurations vary. Always check your vehicle to verify differential and clearance.

    The GM gasket part number for this differential is 68454491AA.

    This includes trucks with the Allison transmission.

    For 2019 and older trucks with the AAM 11.5, 11.8 differential, see PML part number 9511.
