I ordered a MagHytec pan for my rear differential today. I used Amsoil Severe Gear 75W90 Gear Lube and also did an oil change.
This MagHytec pan is AWESOME! Very well built, great quality, looks awesome, and holds 8 quarts of gear oil!
Front differential pan off
The inside of my pan was extremely clean!
Pan back on and new fluid going in!
Rear differential pan popped loose. You can see the old fluid and how clean it is. I have had the truck for about 75k miles and haven't ever touched the fluid, so I was impressed.
Rear pan off:
We put an AFE rear differential pan on the rearend of my buddies truck, so here are a few compasisson pictures. I was not impressed with the quality of the AFE pan. We had to clean out metal flakes from the pan right out of the box from machining, the powdercoating was only fair, and we struggled to get the drain plug, fill plug, and temperature sensor plug in because of bad threads in the pan itself. It also costs right about the same as the MagHytec and holds a quart less.
The MagHytec is on the left and the AFE on the right.

And a couple other pictures just for fun
