2013 rear diff gasket?

[flattop]

Has anyone had the rear differential cover off on a 2013 1500 4X4? I am at 75,000 and want to change fluid out to Royal Purple, but am getting conflicting info on the rear differential cover gasket.

 

Local NAPA says they dont list any? I thought this differential was used 2007-2013?

 

A quick search found a Felpro RDS55480, its a $35.00 rubber impregnated steel assembly.

 

My question would be if this is what GM has on it from the factory, I would assume that is or could be reused if removed with some care.

 

I just dont want to rip it apart Saturday and not be able to get a gasket.

 

Thanks,

Should have one. I believe it is reusable but I bought a new one for when I do mine. What rear end? Mine is the 14 bolt

I bought one from the dealer but ended up being able to reuse the old one. Took the new one back for a refund. And yes it was rubber with metal rings at the screw holes.

Thanks Folks, thats what I wanted to hear!!

 

Its just the standard duty 10 bolt w/3.42 gears.

It is almost so robust it can't be called a gasket, more a seal. Reusable it most certainly is.
