HELP FAST! Ordering 3:42 from Fred beans!
I ordering a 3:42 Diff from fred beans, but wanted to make sure I was ordering the right piece. When I put in the part number "12572683"
this is the description I get:
"Mechanical Catalog - Chevrolet/Geo
Universals & rear axle - Rear axle - Carrier CARRIER, Corvette, Manual Trans, M12 (LS6) 2001 - 2004 "
Can someone please verify I am not screwing this up! All I have to do is hit the buy button and I am done. This is for a 98 C5 (A4).

Although that is the correct part number, you can always call gene or email him... always have your Vin # number handy..Either Gene or Jeremy will wow you with their service.They also have the best prices for genuine GM parts.
