    Great fit for my 2004 Chevy Tahoe Z71 (10-Bolt, 8.5"/8.625" Rear End)

    Great fit for my 2004 Chevy Tahoe Z71 (10-Bolt, 8.5"/8.625" Rear End)
    I recently bought a 2004 Tahoe from my uncle and wanted to catch up on changing all the fluids in it since his maintenance records were a bit spotty. The vehicle didn't get driven a whole lot under his ownership, and he mostly just kept the vehicle at his beach house in Delaware for the purpose of launching his jetski.When I got under there to change the rear diff fluid, I discovered the diff cover was severely rusted from many years of Atlantic ocean dunks. The hardware was in bad shape too. I could've bought a fancy diff cover from ARB or OX or something, but since there were many other maintenance items to take care of on the vehicle, I opted for a standard, stock replacement. This Dorman cover fit the bill. I also paired it with a LubeLocker LLR-G850 gasket because with the sway bar and panhard rod in the way of removing the cover, I didn't want to have to worry about smearing the RTV while sliding the cover in place.All-in-all, this cover fit great, looks great, and should serve for a good long time since I don't have any marine craft to launch. Along with the new, SS hardware, this thing looks waaaaay better now and should be much easier to service the next time around.Just FYI, I read some reviews that stated the threaded plug on the diff cover wasn't fully tight when pulled out of the package. I gave mine a snug and barely got 1/8th rotation out of it, but worth checking yours.

    5.0 out of 5 stars So glad Dorman offers this cover as a solution to a frozen plug in a differential fill hole!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2023
    When I tried to remove the plug from my GMC truck's differential to change its oil, I found it to be rusted shut. I tried everything but the plug would not budge. Luckily I checked to see if Dorman offered a solution and found that they sell this cover with a fill hole at the same level as the frozen plug. I was not sure if the new cover would rust on the outside, so I quickly sprayed some black paint on it. A BIG THANKS TO DORMAN and also to Amazon for a fair price. If you buy one of these, do the obvious and mount it oriented the same as your original. The notches should be on the left.

    5.0 out of 5 stars GM 10 Bolt Cover
    Reviewed in Canada on December 9, 2019
    Perfect fit for my 2004 Sierra 10 bolt. The cover is just bare steel so you will need to prime/paint it to make sure it doesn't rust.

    -Bolt size for my 2004 was M8-1.25×25 (plus new washers) as I did not reuse the OEM bolts.
    -I torqued the bolts in a criss-cross pattern, starting at 15 ft/lbs, then to 20ft/lbs, then finished at 30 ft/lbs.
    -I used a new Fel-Pro gasket, no sealant or RTV. No leaks.

    The only downside I can think of is the fill plug. It has what looks to be a magnet in the middle of the plug, but it isn't very strong. Overall very happy with the product.

    Perfect fit, very good thickness.
    The only thing is when the vehicule is leveled, the filling plug on the cover is 1-1/4 lower than the differential oem filling plug.
    Good buy for the price.
