Default 06 2500 mega cab rear end rebuild kit help

Ok I have looked everywhere and have done everything I could think of to figure this out but I need help. I needed to replace a carrier bearing but decided to replace all the diff bearings since i had it apart. I currently have my rear end completely torn apart and have tried two rebuild kits from napa with 0 luck and they are telling me these are the only two kits listed for my truck?

Both kits are skf one is an sdk331 and the other was a sdk327

The truck is a 2006 2500 mega cab 4x4 with hemi. The part # on the axle reads p52104 then there is another number 512aj and serial (t)x2dg222531898

Can someone please help with a parts kit or something I can use to figure out what I need so I can get this bac together?

Also any suggestions In getting the small metal shavings out of the diff and housing would be appreciated.

10 1/2" diff for 3/4 ton


You might try rock auto

You have an aam----American axle 10-1/2" rear end. You need a master rebuild kit. If you've never done one of these before, you definitely need to get the factory service manual and follow it, or, stop where you're at, call a 4wd drive shop---hopefully near you, and set up an appointment to have them put it back together. Setting up the pre tension on the crush washer is critical for the pinion bearing clearance and pre load.

Hopefully-----this gets you headed in the right direction, some shops make living at setting these things up----the right way.

Thanks for the I'd I had it narrowed down to the 10.5 now I just have to find the kit. I have the service manual and from the looks of it I need a couple of tools which I was able to find.
