Has anyone put a new cover on there wagon? I was looking at banks but I do not think they make one as of yet.

Maple has an option.

The PW`s should take same rear diff cover as an '18 2500. We have the same differential. All other '19 and newer 2500's have an updated differential with a different cover and bolt pattern.

When I was researching a gear change there was a lot of confusion on what rear end the PW had. I did change my rear fluid and the gasket was the same as previous years.

The new Banks diff cover will fit the 11.5 AAM. AAM makes a finned cover too, but it's doesn't have the air scoop thing the Bank's has nor does it have a drain.

Im going to order the banks then, thanks. I watched some YouTube videos and that thing is sweet for keeping the rear end cool.

If this is the case, the AEV covers should work as well. Though they are $$$

I do like the AEV covers.

Do not buy! It appears it won't fit 2019s. Maybe best to talk to Banks and see if they have one that fits 2019. I wasn't aware the axle was redesigned as posted earlier.

Oh you just wanted a cover? I was thinking protection.

Can someone confirm? I hadn’t heard until this post that the 19+ uses a different pumpkin, it wouldn’t make a ton of sense since nothing else on the suspension realty changed at all.

pw axles are still the same

pw axles are still the same

Did they change on the other models though? That makes even less sense, other than the locker, there is no functional difference I’m aware of between a PW and it’s other gas counterparts. The 3500 with the max tow package yes, that’s used a different axle for a few years now.

Well, I’m calling them Monday to confirm before I order. The details say it will fit a 11.5 rear diff, but then in the small print it says it won’t fit a 2019+.

my question is, is there markings on the rear end where I can tell if it’s the same as the older models.

mine is a 2019, and I when I bought it the only Major upgrade that I was aware of was tranny to 8 speed from the 6 speed. I didn’t think the rear end was different.

Hmm...upon further inspection there may be validity to this. AEV’s website for the front diff cover says 2014 to current, the rear specifically says 2014-2018 11.5 AAM. So that implies something did change for the 2019 year. News to me, although they typically don’t include me on decisions like that (even though I’ve asked them to, ********)

pw axles didnt change. aev website is wrong if it says otherwise or they simply havent updated it. go to any dealer and look for yourself. the flange where the driveshafts bolt on are a bit different but otherwise its the same axles. non pw have a new rear probly because the gvwr may have been increased or something. front is the same

If it’s the same bolt pattern I don’t see why it wouldn’t fit, there is a traction bar that runs across the axle and maybe that is why it says it won’t fit on the banks website?

im going to call Monday.

pw is coil spring 14bolt 11.5 from '14 to present, same cover as 3500 leaf spring 14bolt but not same axle. the bar is a sway bar and banks says it may need his spacers because the cover is so bulky i suppose. the spacer just moves the bar away from the cover a bit

 

[IRSmart]

There’s a link to Dethloff’s sway bar spacer in my build thread in my sig
