Detailed Description

The SKP SK697706 is a rear differential cover for GM applications that require the correct ring gear housing match and rear axle configuration. It fits a broad range of Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Tahoe, Suburban 1500, Avalanche 1500, Blazer, S10, Express 1500, and GMC Sierra 1500, Yukon, Yukon XL 1500, Savana 1500, Sonoma, Jimmy, and Cadillac Escalade family vehicles. This part number, SK697706, is also cross-referenced to ATP 111107 for the same application.

Because fitment varies by model year and axle details, confirm the rear axle notes before ordering. The SK697706 is intended for vehicles listed in the fitment table and should be matched to the ring gear size and any drain-plug requirement shown for each application. For buyers searching for a Chevrolet Silverado 1500 differential cover or GMC Sierra 1500 rear differential cover, this listing provides the application-specific coverage needed for accurate replacement.

What It Helps Address

• Damaged or leaking differential cover.
• Corrosion or wear at the rear axle housing cover.
• Service replacement for a cover that no longer seals correctly.
• Fitment matching for GM rear differential applications with the correct ring gear size.
• Replacement needs on vehicles with drain-plug-specific coverage.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s rear axle configuration, ring gear size, and any drain-plug note before installation. Compare the removed cover to the replacement part and confirm the application against the fitment table for your Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, or Cadillac Escalade. Clean the sealing surface thoroughly and inspect the housing for damage before installing the new cover.
