Perfect for 8.25

Great replacement especially if your current pinhead is starting to round off. Supplied with Red Lock firmly attached to the protectors.

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for seniors

Necessary! best in Transmission and Transmission

Must be able to remove the original screw from PITA. If you are doing any work on your car's axle that requires removing this screw, you'd better buy it first!

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Will not fit 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 as described

This screw is shorter and thicker than the standard OEM. Funny, the box says Ford and Chevy, but Revane said they fit a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Repair

Buy more than one. on Differential Assembly Kits

Although the Transparency and Stretch categories have nothing to do with the bolt used in the differential, I had to answer a few questions to get to this point. Needed, received, fast delivery, perfect fit. Buy more than one. There is nothing worse than needing this item and not having a replacement.

Pros
  • Lots of Good Vibes
Cons
  • Useless Features

I'm glad it's available even though it's part of Dorman.

This is a special bolt used to secure the cross pin in your GM 10 bolt diff. The shank of this screw tends to rub. I consider it preventive maintenance to replace it or at least inspect it to make sure it needs to be replaced every say 100,000 miles. Dorman is by no means the main supplier of quality parts, but for the price I find it acceptable.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Unbelievable Price

Don't risk it with a broken screw.

This differential shaft locking screw is used in many center differentials (Ford 8.8, GM 10 hole, 12 hole etc.). Over time, this cycling causes the bolt to fatigue and break, with breakage usually occurring at the point where the bolt transitions from the final thread to the straight shank. If a bolt breaks, you'll often need a bolt removal kit (also available from Revain) to get it out. This bolt is of decent quality and finish. He replaced a broken bolt with no fuss or pumping.

Pros
  • Ideal for small houses
Cons
  • Fits
