Rusted Diff cover
All,
I just purchased a 99 Silverado 4.8 LS with G80 rear. In going over the truck it seemed to be in good shape with few exceptions. 1. One thing I just noticed is the rear diff cover is weeping fluid. It looks padly rusted and pitted, so I think it's time to replace (also a good time to examine the insides). Anyboady have a suggestion for a quality replacement? I don't want to use OEM. 2. The water pump is leaking. If I replace this myself, what gotchas am I going to run into? thanks! John

Re: Rusted Diff cover
My diff cover was terrible when I opened it up to pull out pieces of my shattered clutch pack, I used a die grinder with a scotchbrite pad and got it shiney and smoothe. I was short on time, so I told myself I'd paint it the next day... that was 6 months ago. It's rust color again now.
The water pump on mine wasn't hard at all (but it's an 86, a lot has changed since then. Took maybe 4 hours with a couple breaks included. You will have to remove the serpentine belt, and possibly some belt driven accessories/brackets. Depending on how many miles are on it, this would also be the time to replace the timing chain.

Re: Rusted Diff cover
OEM only way to go unless you want it to keep leaking
