Default Quick rear diff question...

I searched and couldn't fine anything...

but what rear differential comes in a 2006 1500 2wd? I know it is a 10 bolt but thats as far as I can get. I'm searching for a new cover and I'm looking at the TA ones, but it has a couple of different ones for GM 10 bolts.

Trying to get a Christmas wish list put together to see what I can get.

I wanna say 10 bolt 8.6", I know my truck is a 99 OBS and has the 10 bolt 8.5", I think the covers are pretty much the same though, the 8.5 only refers to the size of the internals. I'm running a tru-trac diff for a 99-up 8.6" axle and it fits fine on the bearings I got, idk if that helps.

the information they supplied you is 100% correct.just installed a tru trac and 3.73 gears in my truck. ordered the 8.5 ring but when i realized i needed more i call rons machine and he straightened me out as to what was what. i would highly recommend rons by the way. YOU WONT FIND A CHEAPER PRICE AND BETTER HELP.
