Re: Custom GM Truck 12 bolt Covers
e bay has a huge varity for sale, If you get a chrome one though, you might want to scuff the underside of the cover where the gasket seats to give better adhesion of the silicone and a better seal

I would deffinatley spend a little more and get one with a fill and drain. Pain in the butt to remove the diff cover every time you change fluid. Serious factory design flaw imho..

Re: Custom GM Truck 12 bolt Covers
The TA_1811 is nice... but complete overkill unless you're drag racing. It has the reinforcement cast in for the bearing caps to put preload on them...
160 bucks for a cover is a lot... A decent chrome one or repaint the stock one works great. That finned aluminum is cool... prolly a little spendy... but ;looks good. Gary
