Pretty cheap diff covers

The ///Man · Sep 14, 2012

Someone posted this on a local site. I was getting ready to change my diff fluid and I think I might get one for the rear.

interesting

Cool, though doesn't seem to include the permanent seal as the picture implies.

The ///Man · Sep 14, 2012

No idea.

I had these on my retarded jeep I built, trust me when I say you will never need anything more, I absolutely recommend these guys and can't wait till I have the cash to buy them for my hummer.

I'm gonna do this...stronger and a higher full plug for more diff fluid

alrock · Sep 14, 2012

Higher fill plug is not always a benefit. Timgco had a higher fill plug on one of his last five or six vehicles and the diff was overfilled so oil was shooting out the breather. Be careful how full you fill the diff.

Not saying this isn't a good product - I mentioned the seal as it's a bit misleading and even though it is "permanent" mine is leaking a tiny bit after the cover's been removed twice now. I need to get a new seal sometime.

On H2's you have to be careful with some of the aftermarket diff covers. There may be a clearance issue with the sway bar.

Good thinking. I was just looking at the rear too, it's close.

Make spacers where the bushings mount to axle. This will back off the sway bar.

Can damage occur with overfilling it?

Medic_Morgan · Sep 16, 2012

Would these word in conjunction with other protection(ie spyder cover, Roc Doc diff cover...)?? Or are they enough protection as a stand alone unit?

Roc doc won't work with it as they are both covers and you can't put a cover over a cover

Zach · Sep 16, 2012

The purple cranium diff guard or spyder is for the stock cover only

Medic_Morgan · Sep 16, 2012

Ok so let me rephrase this

will this unit replace my stock cover now and provide adequate protection(as much as a stock cover w/ afore mentioned products). Thanks guys just trying to fig out if this is work the mod

Which one fits an H3?

06 H3 · Sep 17, 2012

The 10 bolt...

alrock · Sep 17, 2012

Can blow out the top of the breather and maybe blow off the breather itself. Also some claim that the extra oil makes the diff run hotter, presumably as the oil is holding the heat in

alrock · Sep 17, 2012

We won't know until you try! This appears to be a reinforced cover so it would replace the other options on the market but I don't think we have any testimonials indicating whether they are as good as they claim

Medic_Morgan · Sep 17, 2012

Guess that means I'll just have to add it to my cart and we will just see

def not a bad price

I don't have the solid diff covers on my H3 yet, but on my Jeep with D30 in the Front and Ford 8.8 in the rear I was more worried about bending mounts before busting through those diff covers.

The 10 bolt cover on their web site is for the 8.5 and 8.6 rearends. They are out of stock but I will get one from the next run of castings.
