Dorman 697-342 Differential Ring and Pinion - Rear
Dorman 697-342 Differential Ring and Pinion
Dorman 697-342 is a standard replacement differential ring and pinion for specific rear axle applications. It is built to directly replace the original equipment gear set on select Chevrolet and GMC trucks and vans, including Chevrolet Silverado 2500, GMC Sierra 2500 HD, Chevrolet Express 2500, and GMC Savana 3500.
Key Features
- 4.10 gear ratio for rear differential service
- Direct replacement for specific OE applications
- Standard item grade
- Semi-floating axle application
- 8.8-inch ring gear outside diameter
- 10-ring-gear-bolt cover pattern
- Pinion shaft diameter: 1.7
- Pinion gear tooth quantity: 10
- Fits rear axle applications only
Detailed Description
This Dorman differential ring and pinion, part number 697-342, is intended for rear axle service on a wide range of Chevrolet and GMC heavy-duty platforms. The 4.10 ratio is a common choice for restoring driveline performance after gear wear, noise, or damage, and the OE-style replacement format supports a direct swap on listed applications without changing the vehicle’s original differential setup. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address
- Worn or damaged ring and pinion gears
- Rear differential gear noise
- Incorrect final drive ratio after axle repair
- Loss of driveline performance from gear wear
- Restoration of OE-style rear axle operation
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify rear axle configuration before ordering, including the 3.08-and-lower carrier note and the semi-floating axle setup. This application does not include mounting hardware, shims, or an installation kit, so setup parts must be sourced separately as needed. Proper gear setup requires accurate backlash, pinion depth, and bearing preload measurements during installation.
