About a year ago I bought a rockcrusher differential cover. Painted it blue, and finally went to put it on today. Turns out it's "too small" or "not deep enough" for my 8.8, and wouldn't allow the big gear to spin. I can either mill it out, or sell it. I don't want to mill it out because I just decided to use my old metal diff cover and I'm tired of taking off/putting on diff covers. SOOOO I'm gonna sell it. I think I originally bought it for like $87 + shipping. I'll probably ask maybe $50 + shipping? I painted it blue, and some of the paint is chipped from some scraping. I'll try to get a picture up as soon as I can. It even comes with the sticker it originally came with. I won't include the bolts because they suck. They were too soft, and a couple of them snapped.

Oh, and there's a very small gash/scrape on the inside of the cover where the gear dug into the cover. Nothing to really worry about, I think.

So yes, $50 + shipping. I am open to offers. If you would like, I can paint it black, but no guarantees on my paint job :(

Edit: pictures

 

what gear set did it rub with?? and maybe a picture?

 

3.73

And I'm just about to take some pictures right now.

 

Rubbed with 3.73s?

Thats strange. I wonder what would happen with 4.10s

 

Id be calling rockcrusher about that. I have 3.73s in my truck also. Do you have a factory carrier?

 

yea im confused how the hell wont it fit. are you sure its for an 8.8?

 

Yeah, it's factory. And I emailed them yesterday.

Well, the receipt said "Ford 8.8", and the actual cover says "8.8" on it. It's 10 bolts like my differential, the same shape as my old cover.

 

Did it damage your gears?

 

Nope, not at all. I am very surprised, though.

 

Lucky they werent mangled

 

Wow! Why even make an offroad diff cover that won't even fit with 3.73's??
