Detailed Description

The Dorman 697-700 differential cover is made for rear differential service where the original cover is rusted, bent, or leaking. Its stamped steel construction helps maintain a secure seal at the axle housing, while the protective finish adds resistance against corrosion in demanding underbody conditions. This part cross-references ATP 111101 for the same application. Common fitment includes rear applications for Chevrolet Blazer, S10, Tahoe, GMC Jimmy, Sonoma, Yukon, and related full-size truck and SUV platforms with 8.5 in. or 8.625 in. ring gear setups.
