Is this cover stronger than the stock cover?

Yes, the aluminum construction provides additional strength and rigidity compared to the factory cover. This helps to reduce differential flex under heavy loads.

Does this cover come with new bolts?

The product description does not specify whether new bolts are included. You may need to reuse your existing bolts or purchase new ones separately. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for details.

Will this fit my GM truck with an 8.6 inch rear end?

This cover is specifically designed for GM 8.2 and 8.5 inch TA HD differentials. While the 8.6 inch rear end is similar, fitment is not guaranteed. Check manufacturer fitment data to confirm compatibility with your vehicle.
