Default '08 Diff Cover

Hey everyone, just wanted to pass it on about the '08 rear diff cover. I'm sure many of you know about it but if you want to upgrade your 99-07 rear steel diff cover to the '08 aluminum finned cover it is a direct fit. All you need is some longer bolts. Dont quote me on the price but at the Ford Dealer its only lik $40 or so. If you have any questions let me know.

and it is thicker (aluminum) so you can drill & tap for fill and drain plugs!

hoping to put mine on next week

Here you go Mr. Minded. Some places I have seen have them as low as $45 and up to $70.

Sounds good but has anyone put a temp sensor or IR'd it to see if it really lowers rear end temps in the real world? If so, what were the results?

Thanks,

Al

Default Well

Not that I know of. We just take for granted that it is and most of us do it for looks.
