Front Diff drain plug size

[Mossyoakglock]

Does anybody know what thread size the front diff drain plug is? I need to pick a new one up.

 

I know Dorman makes a replacement engine oil drain plug and was hoping that they also made one for the front diff. That one is M12-1.75.

 

Also, what is the GM part number for the plug?

How is he supposed to order a drain plug without knowing what he need?. This is why he posted this question. If you do not have an answer or solution please do not post useless advice (we all know we can call a dealer). Thank you!

As the plug does not cost very much, I would call the dealer and get it from him. He does not need the size, as he looks it up from the Vin #. Just a thought.

I do need the size of the plug. Yes I could call the dealer but instead decided to post here and ask because somewhere down the line somebody else might need the information.

 

I do not have a dealer close to me so it's not that easy to just run to the dealer and pick one up. Plus the dealer downtown where I work is no longer there so I can't go during the week. Since Advance has the oil drain plug I figured that they might also have a front diff drain plug and can pick it up there since it's right down the road.

 

By having the factory part number I could cross-reference it somewhere. And yes, people post part numbers here all the time.

Sorry Guy, was just trying to help.. ;)

The dealer suggestion is a good one. They will give you the part #. Just be polite when asking. Also competent auto parts stores can look up the replacement plug for you. Dorman should be able to tell you if you call them. Tuesday I can probably get the number for you..... got several of them at our service shop in parts bins

 

There are only a couple of people on this site that would have the number and they are enjoying their holiday weekend as they should

Looks like it may be GM only. Tried cross refrencing this morning and no luck. Part # is 26058815. If you don't mind adding some for shipping try gmpartsdirect.com.

Do you show what the thread size is? I've looked and can't find it anywhere.

 

You would think that the thread size would be the same as the oil drain plug but probably not.

I could check tomorrow for that.
