When I ordered gauges from Dieselmanor a month ago I also ordered a 2008 rear diff cover for when I got around to changing the fluid. Although it doesn't have the increased volume of some of the after market covers it wasn't over $200.00 but under $70.00. I finally changed the fluid in the front and rear diffs Monday and Tuesday. The front cover is just repainted stocker. Here's some pics. And I might add, No runs, No drips, No errors.

 

Is this available for a dana 80?

 

Diesel Performance Parts. HOME LINK They list am aluminum cover for a Dana 80. Tried to post the diff cover page but it didn't work.

 

Yes its available for a D80... My work truck has the towboss package, and suprisingly, that came stock!

 

looks good Robin! I need to repain my front cover also.

 

Looks great. I love my 08 cover. I've had a couple of folks ask me about it at filling stations and parking lots.

 

Looks GREAT Robin! Even without the increased capacity....that 08 cover has the big heat sinks, I bet it'll be alot more efficient.

 

Wow that looks great Robin makes me want to get one as well now when I change my diff fluids.

 

You can also tap it for a temp sender, I saw a drop of about 20 degrees when pulling with mine.

 

That's some good "real world" info. Thanks Joe.

 

One of the guys I go to the desert with had a problem with overheating the rear diff pulling a 32' Toy hauler, he said it sounded like dropping a turkey in a deep fryer, he got the maghytec cover to help. He is also running 37" tires. So I have been debating on installing a gauge in my truck since I tow a 27' TH also. What Is the max temp you want to see on the diff? Is there a gauge for the diff or are you using like a trans temp gauge?

 

Robin: looks good,and the price is awesome...from stealership w/ discount $43.43 cover.... bolts $6.84 each x 12 = $82.8....thanx for the heads up ...reps sent

 

$6.84 a bolt...., couldn't you get them somewhere else?

 

not sure just went the fast route to compare DM's price...
