When it’s time to perform routine maintenance, or install a new differential in a rearend you want to use fresh parts. There are numerous parts inside the pumpkin or center section of a rearend that you need to account for, and trying to source them individually would be a hassle. Thankfully, Eaton has created its Master Differential Installation Kits that have all the parts you need to install or refresh a differential.
Eaton’s Master Differential Installation Kits cover numerous rearends from GM, Dodge, and Ford. The kits have everything you need in one box to complete the task of installing a differential in the rearend of your choice. Each kit uses high-quality Timken or Koyo bearings and includes the gaskets, shims, fasteners, seals, and gear marking compound. You just need to make sure you’ve got the right fluid to fill the rearend with after you’ve finished installing the differential.
The Master Differential Installation Kits eliminate the need to hunt for individual parts for a diff rebuild.
Eaton’s Senior Product Manager, Jason Denardo explains why each kit has different parts and why these parts are so important.
“Every kit is slightly different – but they all come with all the necessary parts to do a complete ring and pinion and differential installation. It’s industry practice to replace all parts that incur wear. Something as simple as a worn bearing, shim, or crush collar can render an installation unsuccessful. By replacing all parts that can be diminished, you are insuring a successful installation.”
Bearings are what keep everything moving inside and around the differential. These bearings are exposed to extreme loads and forces, so you don’t want to use substandard parts. Eaton has filled its Master Differential Installation Kits with top-tier bearings to ensure the longevity and reliability of a differential after it’s been rebuilt with one of these kits.
Bearings plan an important role inside your differential. Eaton has sourced bearings that are as good, if not better than the OEM parts that come in your vehicle.
“Eaton uses only premium bearings in the Master Installation Kits – either Timken or Koyo. These brands are the industry’s premium bearings of choice. You’ll find that many of the OEMs use these same bearings in their differentials and throughout the vehicles, they assemble,” Denardo states.
Now, swapping out a ring and pinion, or installing a new differential isn’t a job that you…
