WOW thats really cool! $240 for the aftermarket magtec.

Fordparts.com has them for $33 + $10 shipping! I might get 2 also one for me and one for my dads 04, its almost time for it to be changed anyways.

Just ordered 2 covers and the new cps for $90. It feels like my birthday!

Holy poo! That cps from fordparts.com is only $15 and a finned aluminum diff cover for $33!?!? In the mail! I should order an extra just for the heck of it.
Don't stop now Tim. You're on a roll.

These alum ones look nice I think. My stocker has leaked for 8 years now, this is a great excuse to fix it and get some fresh fluid in there.

Pleading a complete lack of knowledge about different versions of rear diffs, I will dare to ask the question:
This bad boy will fit a '97 HD?
If so, I'll be logging on to that site tomorrow am.

So has anyone actually received this cover yet to confirm it is the finned cover and not just a stamped steel cover?
Also, whats the part number on a '96 CPS?
