I've slowly working my way thru changing out all the fluids on my 2003 Suburban four-wheel drive with a G80 differential. After watching a couple of YouTube videos on how to change out the differential fluid, I was surprised to find that my Suburban does NOT have a drain plug on the differential housing. I have to pull the differential cover, which is far messier and requires replacing the gasket.

I'm looking for suggestions on replacing the differential cover with one that has a drain plug and after looking around online, I see that the prices run all over the place, with many designed for improved cooling, racing or off-road use, etc. I'm looking for a standard-style replacement that doesn't negatively affect anything inside the housing.

Any suggestions as to brand and model?

Thank you very much!
