How to remove and install a front differential in a Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon?

Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Loosen the front wheel lug nuts, raise the front of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Remove the under-vehicle splash shield. Drain the front differential lubricant. Disconnect the front driveshaft from the front differential companion flange. Wrap tape around the bearing caps so they don't fall off. Support the driveshaft with a length of wire or rope so it doesn't hang. Remove the front driveaxles. Disconnect the electrical connector from the front axle actuator motor. Disconnect the breather tube from the differential housing. Place a jack beneath the differential carrier. Unbolt the carrier-to-frame brackets, removing the bolts to the carrier and the bolts securing the two brackets to the frame. Carefully lower the differential, using a chain or straps to secure the differential to the jack. Installation is the reverse of the removal procedure. Tighten all fasteners to the proper torque values. Tighten the wheel lug nuts to the specific torque. Refill the front differential with the proper lubricant.

GMC Canyon Differential

GMC Canyon Differential is an assembly found in the vehicle's drive train system whereby engine power is split to the drive wheels to allow for smooth turn and to enable the car to move over rough terrains. Certain types of limited slip differentials are exceptionally applied in today's cars to ensure that the wheels can rotate at discrete speeds when the car is turning. The open diff divides the power in a ratio of 50/50 between the two wheels and the LSD divides torque in the ration of 90/10 or even 70/30, depending on the level of slip. Nonetheless, both types have their disadvantages: for the open diff it is slippage on a slippery surface, for LSD- it is losing traction when starting on a slick road. Simple routine inspections like listening for a tapping or knocking sound and inspecting the fluid levels are very important as they help in the longevity of the differential hence reducing the chances of a very expensive repair. Other performance differential such as the limited slip differential can also improve grip and road handling on any type of terrain, and thus are worthy additions to the GMC Canyon.

Each OEM GMC Canyon Differential we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
