GM 8.6" 10-Bolt Differential Cover WITH Drain Plug?
Hello,
I am trying to find a stamped steel cover with a Drain for the 2004 GM 8.6" 10-bolt Posi-Traction rear differential in my Z71 Suburban.
There is precious little space between the panhard bar and ring gear protrusion, so I am not looking for a chunky cover of aluminum, steel plate, depleted mine casing, or space shuttle super-plastic.
I am trying to find a standard ol' stamped sheet metal differential cover that has a drain plug. Of course, I want the drain plug so I can install a magnetic one for swarf attraction, and not have to deal with re-gasketing at each differential lubricant change.
Any "known" manufacturers, part numbers, or suggestions of where to search?
