Re: Aluminum Diff Covers
It's an awesome cover if you need it. It ain't cheap but what is on these trucks.

Re: Aluminum Diff Covers
If the bolts are a high quality of stainless they won't rust and it never hurts to use anti sieze on any fastner that lives in a harsh enviorment.
I'd be worried about the cover corroding before the bolts especially the exposed parts of the fin's unless theres a clear coat on it. As for the o-ring seal i don't think it would work on my rear end cuz te housing mount surface has a very rough cut finish from when it was machined and unless yours is really flat and smooth it may not seal so if i were you i'd remove the one on the truck and look at the housing mount surface before you order it. |

Re: Aluminum Diff Covers
$250 is just too much for me to justify spending on a rear end cover.
http://www.wpsracing.com/taperrearend.html Something like that would actually be functional because the girdle helps strengthen the rear end. 8.5 10 bolts are decently strong though. |

Re: Aluminum Diff Covers
The housing mounting surface is very clean, and there are no nicks, or gouges in it. I had it removed last year, before I got the rear-end rebuilt.
So I think it'll seal just fine...but only time will tell I guess. The whole cover does have a clearcoat finish, so it won't corrod Thanks Cameron
