PML AAM 11.5, 11.8 differential cover for GM trucks is designed for:

2001 and newer Sierra/Silverado 2500HD with Duramax diesel
2007 Sierra/Silverado 2500HD Classic with Duramax diesel
2001 to 2006 Sierra/Silverado 3500 with 8.1 V8 gas engine or Duramax diesel
2007 Sierra/Silverado 3500 Classic with 8.1 V8 gas engine or Duramax diesel
2007 and newer Sierra/Silverado 3500HD with Duramax diesel
Some 2007 and newer Sierra/Silverado 3500HD with 6.0 V8 gas engine (some have the GM 10.5 inch ring gear, 14 bolt differential)

Always check your vehicle to verify differential and clearance. Configurations vary. Large spare tires may need adjusting toward the rear to increase clearance.

2019, 2020 and newer trucks: These trucks may have the similar AAM 12". Starting around 2020 models, GM changed to a slightly larger differential that looks very similar to this one. See PML AAM 12.0 14 Bolt differential cover for more information.

Some of these trucks can also use PML AAM 11.5 14 Bolt For Ram, which has a different fin pattern, less capacity and requires the brake bracket at the 12 o clock position to be bent.

This cover will fit the AAM 11.5, 11.8 differential on Ram trucks also. However most Ram trucks have the spare tire close to the stock cover and need more clearance than this cover provides. PML makes a cover specifically to fit Ram trucks with the AAM 11.5, 11.8.

Number of Bolts: 14 bolts
