So my '97 K1500 Suburban is leaking from the pinion seal, and I'm looking for a replacement. I looked up the diagram on GM Parts Direct (who have not failed me yet as far as providing accurate part numbers) and came up with ACDelco 26033578. Just out of curiosity I cross referenced on Rock Auto and they list two different designs for the 10 bolt pinion seals. The first design is a once piece seal and matches the part number that GM Parts Direct gave me. The second is ACDelco part number 26064028, and is a triple lip two piece seal.
I'm assuming the part number for the one piece first design that GM Parts Direct gave me (26033578) is correct, but can anyone confirm this? Is there any way to tell which one I need without tearing things apart?
