Had a good sized load if split wood in my truck today. I reallyhatno idea how much it weighed but the wood was not full green so i guess about 2500 lbs. the wood was drier than I thought it would be.
Anyway, did a 25 min drive on hilly back roads in T/H mode and the diff temp was identical to driving unloaded. My new opinion..... subject to change... if tou have an HD truck, Unless you are towing 10,000 Lbs plus lbs frequently there is no need for an aluminum diff cover.
Unless tou just want the drain plug.. or you want you siff cover to look fancy.
