I purchased PN DAN10040651 and PN DAN10044799 from Northridge 4x4 last week and they had the wrong size bolts in both kits. I installed the rear cover with these bolts and noticed this as I tightened them up. 2 of the holes in my differential stripped as I tightened the provided bolts.
In addition to this they are 1/16” shorter than the factory bolts. This doesn’t make since because the cover is 1/4” thicker than the factory cover.
I am going to find some new bolts that are 1/4” longer than the factory bolts and I should be fine but this is disconcerting especially since it’s a Dana axle and I was installing a Dana diff cover.
The bolt on the left is the factory bolt, the bolt on the right is the ones provided with the Dana diff covers.
