Chevy CK Pickup Differential Covers

The differential is a gear train mechanism which is engineered to receive torque from the transmission and transfer it to the drive wheels. The part is designed to enable the wheels to turn at different speeds and maintain traction when turning. In situations like these, the wheel on the inner side of the turn rotates slower than the wheel on the outer side. The gears of the assembly must be lubricated to protect them from premature wear and tear. For that reason, differentials are equipped with sealed covers. The cover protects the mechanism from dirt, water, salt, gravel, and other road debris.

If the differential cover and (or) gasket can no longer hold the lubricant inside the assembly, all the moving parts inside suffer from increased friction. If not addressed, it can lead to a differential failure. Some of the signs of the arising problem are whining gears, cracking bearings, clunking sounds, and so on. To avoid catastrophic failure, from time to time, you should check the integrity of the differential cover and its gasket.
