Artec Hardcore Diff Cover for GM14T with 3/8" Bolts

$216.99


The Artec Hardcore Diff Cover for the GM 14-bolt (10.5") axle replaces the flimsy factory stamped cover with a thick nodular-iron casting built for 1-ton abuse. This is the version for non-ribbed GM 14-bolt differentials that use 3/8" cover bolts — check your bolts before ordering, because ribbed housings take metric M8 hardware and a different cover. Whether the full-float 14-bolt lives under a swapped Jeep, a buggy, or a full-size rig, this cover keeps the big ring gear and carrier protected from the strikes that flatten a stock cover.

Features

  • Cast from high-strength nodular iron for extreme-impact protection
  • Thick walls armor the 14-bolt's large ring gear and carrier
  • Correct bolt pattern for non-ribbed housings with 3/8" cover bolts
  • Magnetic drain plug removes metal shavings from the gear oil
  • Powder-coat finish over the casting
  • High-strength steel fasteners included; bolt-on, no welding

To identify your housing, look at the differential casting and the existing cover bolts: non-ribbed housings use 3/8" bolts (this cover), while ribbed housings take the GM14T cover for M8 bolts. Building the whole axle? Artec's Dana 50/60/70 cover handles a matching 1-ton front, and the full range lives in our diff covers collection.

Artec Hardcore Diff Cover for GM14T with 3/8" Bolts FAQs

How do I know if I need the 3/8" bolt or M8 bolt version?

Look at your differential housing and existing cover bolts. Non-ribbed GM 14-bolt housings use 3/8" cover bolts — that is this cover. Ribbed housings use metric 8mm (M8) bolts and need Artec's M8 version instead. A quick check with a thread gauge or a known bolt settles it before you order.

Which axle is the GM14T exactly?

It is the GM 14-bolt full-float rear axle with the 10.5" ring gear, found under 3/4- and 1-ton GM trucks and widely swapped into Jeeps and buggies. This cover bolts to that axle regardless of what vehicle it currently lives under.

Is installation a bolt-on job?

Yes. Drain the gear oil, clean the mating flange, seal the cover, and torque the included high-strength fasteners evenly — no welding or fabrication is required. The magnetic drain plug then catches metal shavings at every future fluid change.
