Frequently Asked Questions

What is the GM 8.2 inch 10-bolt and which vehicles use it?
The GM 8.2 inch 10-bolt is the original small-block rear axle found in early-to-mid 1960s through early 1970s Chevrolet A-body and F-body cars including Camaro, Chevelle, Nova, El Camino, Impala, and related Pontiac Firebird/Tempest applications.

How do I know if my muscle car has 28-spline axles for YDGGM8.2-3-28-1?
Most GM 8.2 inch 10-bolt applications came with 28-spline axles. Count the splines on one axle shaft after removal to confirm before ordering.

Does YDGGM8.2-3-28-1 fit both the 3.08 and 3.73 ratio carriers?
Yes. The YDGGM8.2-3-28-1 covers the wide-spread carrier range, which encompasses 3.08 and all numerically higher ratios for this axle. For 2.73 through lower ratios, a different carrier is needed.

Will this fit the later Chevy 10-bolt like the 7.5 or 8.5 inch?
No. The 8.2 inch is a specific older design. For GM 8.5 inch 10-bolt applications, see YDGGM8.5-3-28-1 or YDGGM8.5-3-30-1.

What gear oil does Yukon recommend for YDGGM8.2-3-28-1?
Yukon Gear recommends high-grade non-synthetic GL-5 gear oil with Yukon LSD additive (part number OILADD). Synthetic oil is not recommended and may cause clutch chatter in this unit.

Does the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act apply to classic cars?
The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act applies to any warranty still in force. For classic vehicles that are out of their original warranty period, the act is less directly applicable, but the principle holds that an aftermarket part alone cannot be used to void warranty coverage on any remaining powertrain warranty.

Can YDGGM8.2-3-28-1 be used in a drag racing application?
Yes, the DuraGrip design is suitable for street and bracket drag racing. The composite clutch packs allow smooth two-tire launches. For full-lock applications on a purpose-built drag car, a spool would be more appropriate.

Is the YDGGM8.2-3-28-1 rebuildable?
Yes. Replacement clutch packs and spring kits are available from Yukon Gear so you can rebuild the unit without purchasing an entirely new differential.

Installation Instructions

  1. Raise and support vehicle. Drain differential and remove cover, driveshaft, and axle shafts.
  2. Mark and remove bearing caps. Carefully remove the old carrier with its side bearing shims.
  3. Transfer the ring gear to the YDGGM8.2-3-28-1. Torque ring gear bolts to manufacturer spec.
  4. Press or install side bearings on the new carrier. Reinstall using original shims.
  5. Set backlash with a dial indicator (target 0.006 to 0.010 inch for GM 8.2).
  6. Verify carrier bearing preload and gear contact pattern with marking compound.
  7. Torque bearing caps to spec and recheck backlash.
  8. Clean and reseal the differential cover. Fill with GL-5 gear oil and LSD additive.
  9. Reinstall axle shafts and driveshaft. Check all torques.
  10. Perform break-in of 500 miles before extended high-performance use.
