and it kinda sux because i just put my rear locker in and spent like 45 bucks on diff fluid, now ive gotta buy more lol

 

it comes with bolts but not gasket, that is a lube locker gasketin the picture there about 20 buck

 

oh gotcha

 

here is a good link the solid cover is a middle of the roader but for the pice its good most of those covers cost twice as much

Differential Cover Test - The Great Diff Cover Shootout - Jp Magazine

 

damn, rated for a .454 round? thats pretty badass lol. thats a good article

 

Ok wow. It's very interesting that I should come across this thread.

Just recently, I have noticed my rear diff leaking from the rear cover and pinion seal. Deciding to replace both, I went and bought all the necessary parts.

The pinion seal was an easy find.

Seeing, however, as how my diff's front cover is rusting to death, I've decided to replace the entire cover/seal in one shot.

I had to order it from Auto Zone and I JUST picked it up tonight.

For $20, I got a lightweight steel cover, magnet, and gasket... as a kit. (magnet not pictured)



I'll be putting this on hopefully this weekend.

I'll definitely let you guys know how it works out.

EDIT: LMAO! I've just realized how amusing this will look: A rust brown rear axle with a brand spanking new shiny diff cover... (donning redneck flame suit...)

 

nice! shoulda popped for a stronger diff cover. looks badass and is badass. i cant wait to test out my solid cover. but ya that will look funny haha, maybe grind down the axle tubes and re-paint them a nice black??

 

Yeah if only I had the time, my friend.

 

very true

 

does anyone have any more comment on this, how its helped to improve anything besides just looks,etc? thanks, Zach.

 

the only reason for these covers is because there so strong. u can hit them against a rock when ur wheelin and keep driving. with the stock cover, if u hit a rock, youve got a good chance its going to get dented and hit your gears, or it will rip off

 

just re-use the diff fluid.. i dont see any reason not too
