Detailed Description
This Dorman differential bearing kit, part number 697-111, is built for rear differential service on select Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD, GMC Sierra 2500 HD, Chevrolet Express 2500, Chevrolet Express 3500, GMC Savana 2500, and GMC Savana 3500 applications with the standard design 10.5-inch ring gear. It also covers additional GM heavy-duty platforms such as the Chevrolet Suburban 2500, GMC Yukon XL 2500, and Chevrolet Avalanche 2500, along with earlier C/K-series 2500 and 3500 models. The kit is organized around the bearing, race, shim, seal, and setup components commonly needed during ring-and-pinion installation or differential bearing replacement.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., R14RLA) for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Rear differential bearing noise
- Excessive drivetrain play from worn carrier or pinion bearings
- Gear setup issues during ring and pinion service
- Seal leakage at the differential during rebuild work
- Improper bearing preload or gear pattern setup
