Yukon Gear Chrome Cover For 10.5in GM 14 Bolt Truck

Dress Up the Toughest Rear Axle in the GM Lineup

The GM 10.5-inch 14 bolt rear axle has been hauling heavy loads in three-quarter and one-ton GM trucks since 1973. It is a proven, overbuilt unit that survives decades of hard work — but the stamped steel factory cover does nothing for the appearance of the undercarriage. The Yukon Gear YP C1-GM14T is a direct bolt-on chrome differential cover purpose-built for the GM 10.5-inch 14 bolt truck rear differential. It installs with no modifications, seals the same as the original, and delivers a polished, show-quality chrome finish that holds up under real working conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this cover fit the GM 10.5-inch 14 bolt full-float axle?
Yes. The YP C1-GM14T is designed for the GM 10.5-inch 14 bolt truck rear differential, which is the axle used in GM 3/4 ton and 1 ton trucks across a wide production span. Confirm that your axle is the 10.5-inch 14 bolt unit before ordering, as GM trucks were also built with smaller 8.5-inch and 9.5-inch rear differentials in lighter-duty configurations.

Will this cover fit my Chevrolet Avalanche 2500 or Suburban 2500?
Yes. Those vehicles use the GM 10.5-inch 14 bolt rear axle and this cover is a bolt-on fit.

Does it fit the GMC Savana and Chevrolet Express vans?
Yes. Both the GMC Savana and Chevrolet Express in 2500 and 3500 configurations from 1996 through 2015 used the GM 10.5-inch 14 bolt rear axle, and this cover is a compatible bolt-on fit for those applications.

Is this cover compatible with GM trucks that have a limited-slip differential?
Yes. The cover mounts to the outside of the axle housing and is not affected by the internal carrier type. Limited-slip, open, and locking differentials all use the same housing and cover bolt pattern.

How do I maintain the chrome finish?
The chrome finish is applied over steel and is suitable for undercarriage use. Clean off gear oil, road grime, and debris promptly after installation. Avoid abrasive cleaners when detailing the cover.

What gear oil goes in the GM 10.5-inch 14 bolt?
The GM 10.5-inch 14 bolt typically uses 75W-90 or 80W-90 GL-5 synthetic gear oil. If equipped with a limited-slip or Eaton locker, verify friction modifier compatibility with your differential manufacturer. Fill to the bottom of the fill plug hole.

Do I need a new gasket when installing this cover?
Yes. Always use a new gasket or RTV sealant when installing a differential cover. Reusing a compressed or torn gasket is a common cause of post-install leaks. Gasket material or RTV is available at any auto parts store and should be purchased separately for this cover.

What warranty applies?
This cover carries a 1-year warranty from Yukon Gear against defects in materials and workmanship. Contact Yukon Gear directly with your purchase information for warranty service. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, installing an aftermarket differential cover does not void your vehicle's factory drivetrain warranty.

Installation Notes

• Place a drain pan under the differential before loosening the cover — gear oil will pour out
• Remove all existing cover bolts and remove the old cover
• Scrape all old gasket material from the housing flange to ensure a flat sealing surface
• Clean the mating surface of the new chrome cover with a lint-free rag.
• Apply a new gasket or a bead of RTV sealant and install the cover
• Torque all cover bolts evenly in a cross pattern to the manufacturer specification
• Refill with the correct gear oil to the bottom of the fill plug hole and reinstall the fill plug
• Check for leaks after the first drive
