rusted leaking rear diff cover 2000 ex

I plan on ordering a new 08 diff cover after searhing the forum that sounds like the way to go. I wanted to make sure it would fit a v10 2000 Excursion 4x4. I dont know if they used different Rear ends in different excursions.

Thanks again Tim

"Part #8C3Z-4033-A

You will need 12 longer bolts (5/16-18 x 1.25)...I went stainless with lock washers"

99.9% sure it will fit as I believe all years of Excursions has the same rear housing a 10.25" Sterling. I have also done this to my Ex, pics in album.

Just did the mod to mine too. It will fit. All Ex's had the same rear axle. Go to the hardware store to get the longer bolts. I too used stainless w/lock washers. Also, use some good sealant for the cover (there is no gasket). I used "The Right Stuff" by Permatex and have NO LEAKS. I also used Royal Purple 75-140 diff fluid. There is already friction modifier in there if you have a LS diff (I do). Very easy to do.
