Will a rear differential gasket from an 07 Avalanche/Silverado fit my 08?

 

According to all the autoparts stores websites, the rear gaskets they show for my 08 are $30. But for the 07 they are 4.99. It doesn't give the option for GMT800 or 900 but I assume if it is a 4x4 with the G80 it will fit my truck. I don't have a Chevy dealer that is convenient to me so autozone, advance, etc is a better option.

 

Is the G80 for all model years the same or was there any design changes as far as the rear gasket goes between years?

Lay both gaskets on top of each other and see if they are the same. Check the OEM part numbers of both and see if they are the same, or if the part numbers cross reference to each other. I realize $25 in savings is nice, but if there is a leak, it will cost a whole lot more in the long run.

I purchased my last gasket from a Chevy dealer but only because I was passing by and went ahead and got it. The parts department of all the chevy dealers that are remotely close to me are closed on Saturdays and I don't work close enough to one to get it after I leave.

 

I'll just take the factory gasket part number and see if they can cross reference it in their system and maybe it pulls up something a little cheaper for the gasket.

 

If an $8 GM gasket works great then I don't see a reason to get a $30 one from the parts stores.

I thought you were saying that the local parts store had a $5 gasket and a $30 gasket. I was suggesting that if the local parts store had both in stock, do the comparison.

 

With proper surface prep, RTV may work as well, without a gasket.

Post your number, I'll try to look it up later.

      Is the 6.2L L87 in a 2026 Sierra 1500 ok?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      What meaningful corrections were done to fix the "machining errors?"   I bet nothing, because the 6.2 is soon to be obsolete. Why would GM implement any fix let alone an "expensive one?"   Until someone can provide any convincing information that GM did ANYTHING to correct the engines - the 6.2 is no for me.    Which means keeping the 2016 Denali longer until the next generation (6.6?) proves itself.

      If my father took a Sunday off. We did the Sunday drive. Usually stopping at a Geno’s for dinner that we eat in the car. Six of us with my little sister up front. It was always a Buick growing up. In New Jersey you couldn’t get lost. Not like Texas.

      I suppose I am Atlas. It can always be worse, eh?   I had a friend once that rolled one payment into another until he was paying the price of Benz for a 10 year old back marker. Wouldn't be often you start a new payment the month following your old one.

      I still enjoy the drive   Some people fish when they retire; some golf. I drive. We've lived in the same general area now for twenty eight years and I'm still finding at least monthly some sweet quite little road to explore. When I tell the Mrs. I'm heading out for coffee she knows that could be a five hour event. Often she even goes along.    I like finding new rural routes used mainly by the locals that start nowhere in particular and end the same way. Many in the area of that type are narrow paved and twisty, hilly and run through field and timber. Often along creeks or wetlands. Unfarmable areas of great natural beauty.    After years of this type of exploration they start to fit together. One ending a mile or so from another and you start threading together a new path from a unfamiliar place to a new adventure. Sometimes to a little town of under five hundred that used to be something before the Interstate or some railroad or US highway bled the life out of it that has a small dinner with the greatest slice of pie you've eaten since grandma made her last. A little village museum or library or even a town square park with grand old oak, walnut and Osage orange trees to sit under while you sip you gas station coffee and chat up some locals.    Often they are full of stories about the main streets more interesting buildings and the who's who of the area. Sometimes some hidden attraction or unseen history. Our area is full of old coal mines.     A younger self used to do this going cross country by motorcycle. Only a general area as a destination with no time to get there and no time to be back. Sitting at days end in a 10 unit off the main highway motel under a Sycamore tree yacking with the owner or his one semipermanent guest while I adjusted valves or the chain. Always a wave and a shout "Hey there stranger"!  It's how I came by my love of old Brit iron. There is no such things as a ten minute gas stop when your on a Enfield or a vintage Triumph. Same being true of old cars.    If you take the time to really look I've found everywhere is someplace interesting. Illinois or West Virginia. Different and yet the same.    People are in a more relaxed mood and will talk about anything and everything and if they like you there may be a cupp'a or a lemonade and a sandwich in it. 😉
