yeah the ford alum cover is the cheaper alternative. as for heat retained the mag hytech doesn't really help dissipate the heat as much as it does slow the onset of the heat. It holds more fluid but once it gets up to temp. the heat sinks aren't really in a position to cool it off that much.

There was a cheaper (almost knock off) version the mag hitech covers. I think it's a good design and around $100 cheaper. YourCovers.com Transmission Pans, Valve Covers & Differential Covers
I went with the mag hitech for my rear, but I couldn't justify the cost for the front.
Something to research or even call on, BD diesel made a trans pan that was very similar to mag's. I asked them about doing a diff cover a few years ago, but the rep didn't think they had anything in works yet.

I got the 08' aluminum cover on my 04'. Looks great and has to help the cooling a lot. Cover is pretty darn thick too. I wish ford would offer one for the D60 too so my front and rear covers would match.
