Wow that's terrible business there bud. You don't come in behind another vendor who is actually contributing to a thread and try to steal business. I know where my money won't be spent.

Very well said David. I would have gotten banned for what I wanted to say.

IMO this is why Vendors shouldn't be allowed to peddle their products in threads. People come in here asking others opinions on something they want to do with their truck and they get hammered with solicitation posts. Funny thing is this is maybe the 10th thread I've read tonight and 9 of them had the same vendor telling the OP to PM them so they could sell them something. Sad part is only 2 of them were threads where the OP was actually asking where to buy a product, the rest were simply asking others opinions on a product..

Again, JMO..

EDIT:
I understand competition in business but this practice will stop me from EVER purchasing.

I could not agree with you more. Every forum vendor should be able to show common courtesy to other vendors. If 1 vendor is already in a thread offering advice or answering questions about a part, you do not jump in there trying to undercut them or clutter the forum with your contact info.

I feel as if this could get ugly...

or... you could keep the one you got and protect it with one of these: Spider Differential Rock Guards

Those look pretty cool, but they are strictly a guard to protect the cover. The benefit of a Mag Hytec or other larger covers is that they hold more fluid and have cooling fins which help keep the diff fluid temp down. They also have a drain plug which makes it very easy to maintain. The Mag Hytec also uses an O-ring gasket that comes with the kit which means you don't have to mess with any sticky RTV. There was so much RTV on my factory cover that I almost needed a pry bar just to break it loose...haha.

Guys, this was an honest mistake on Jeremiahs end
We can all work together here

Jmhm17 · Mar 12, 2014

I actually ran a similar type cover on my 2010 Cummins made by Carli. It was to protect from front diff though because I scraped it on a few rocks while playing around. I think those Spider Guards would look mean on a Power Wagon of lifted 4WD.

Purchased a Mag Hytec from Moes a few months ago of course amazing service but Thanks to the great Canadian weather I haven't been able to install yet , What I like is that it has a dip stick to check your levels , a drain plug so you dont have to remove the whole cover when changing the fluid . Also it has a Temp sender port on the top, what my plans are is to install a Diff Temp gauge to keep an eye on it and install this Gauge in my pillar pod that was used for my Trinity since I never leave it in the truck , too many lookers and dont need it to get stolen. I Figure it could come in handy running these big tires

That's what I was going to ask. So you dont need any RTV with the Mag Hytec? Just bolt it on with the O-ring and go?

Hemi450hp · Mar 12, 2014

You got it. The cover has a grove already cut out and it comes with the o ring. It is 1000x cleaner than having to mess with RTV. I have been checking mine daily to make sure there are no leaks, and everything outside the cover is dry. It sealed up perfectly.

BlownGP · Mar 12, 2014

That's great. Wish they would make all covers like that.

Also 5 quarts? Man that's a lot of diff fluid..LOL $$$

Thanks Matt

Tell me about it. I went with Royal Purple in mine, and that stuff is $20 per quart. Oriley's has it on sale right now for $15 per quart though, so I grabbed a few extra just in case.
