Anyone running an after market front diff cover on their f350? I just changed my gear lube and did an inspection of rear end so put a cover on that has an external drain. I realize the stock rear cover has a bolt you can pull to drain it but went ahead with a Ford Performsnce cover.

I now need to tackle the front diff which does NOT have a drain plug so looking at a Yukon or ARB cover and wanting to see if anyone has done one? If so, is your steering, tierods, etc all clearing? Which would you recommend? Most all the ones with a drain plug use a magnet so that’s good.

Thx for experiences/input.

 

Very interested to see where this goes. Is like to upgrade both covers to something far more robust.

 

I have these installed front and back. FYI: The G2 front cover did not accommodate the dual steering stabilizer mounting bracket that bolted to the stock cover.

So you just ordered a Dana 60 cover, not any specification, difference on Dana 60 front ….?

Lastly I m assuming it clears your stock steering setup? ( without dual stabilizer) Your truck a F350 or F250?

Thx much for info!!

 

Yes, Dana 60 for my front. Stock stabilizer is fine, and is not an issue.

I have the Ford 10.5 rear differential.

Mine is an F-350 ……

 

Great, thx for input. I be got the 275 in the rear and D60 front. ( I noticed the steering linkage and Panhard bar in front are fairly close to diff cover where it sticks out to clear ring gear)


Install was simple? No removing of anything except old cover I assume?

 

Do you have a link for the Ford Performance cover? Like to see what it looks like.

 

I have ford performance rear 14 bolt cover (275) but I couldn’t see where they offer a d60 cover… if so I d lean that way just cause they d match. Most all the aftermarket’s are similar in design/price.
