I am looking at replacing my rear differential cover.

Any input of brand and or pics to help me see what is available would be appreciated

My truck is a 2015 / 1500 4x4 with a 5.7 liter and a 3.92 gear

Thank you

What's wrong with the stocker ?

I went with the mag hytec but there’s several to choose from

Nothing is wrong It
Pushing 37” tires so Lowe temps are not a bad thing being most of them have better cooling and capacity

But more over just like the looks of them on lifted trucks where you can really see it

Mag-Hytec here as well.

They look great, Do you need to put in the limited slip additive ?

 

[JB1]

I used Redline synthetic and I didn’t need any additional additives. Nick had the best price on the oil.

Let me know if we can help. We offer covers and Red Line

Wasn't there one with a sight glass?

yes the AFE has a sight glass. If you look at the pic above that chrome round piece on the right side of the cover is the side of the sight glass. I really like the AFE covers especially if you plan to go thru mud or water. this way you can just quickly check the state of the fluid be looking at the sight glass. If it looks discolored or milky at all change it immediately

Lol, I drive that everyday rain or shine

Does the AFE have an o-ring? Or do you use RTV to seal it?

 

[Witch]

Decided to go with the Mag-Hytec & Redline oil from Nick

Going to pull the trigger as soon as he get the oil back in stock

The AFE uses RTV

Hm. Thing I'd rather have one with an o-ring. Not sure it matters.

 

[69GWC]

O-Ring is nice.
