Hi
I'm looking to replace my rear diff cover and found the following available, close by, for my
2003 Mach 1. Any issues with this?

I have 4:10 gears. Stock diff cover.

Seems a little pricey for strait steel. Sure its good its a Yukon . I did not use a gasket and used form a gasket. I took mine off and sanded it down for a good clean. Then repaint with Rustoleum. You know they look good lime green or red . lol

Why? That is 5x more expensive.

I got this after my mechanic (drag racer) recommended it during my trans swap. Suggest you read the reviews and watch the vid - thats the best one out there. Beefy, aluminum, load bolts that provide additional support for the differential bearing caps, fill and drain ports to make oil changes a breeze...

It is a complete kit for $210 vs the $80 you were looking at.

Thanks for the quick reply.
That's 80cdn vs about 400 cdn. (shipping, border fee, currency conversion, taxes)
Looks like they are both a kit.
