Differential covers 101

PU Truck mag


That answered a lot of my questions about these covers. Extra large ones may not make a lot of sense because they disturb the oil flow in the housing.

  • I don't think they have published the conclusion (temp readings) video in the series yet....I have been following it on YouTube.
  • I watched them all and I'm sticking with the OEM cover. The Banks expose' is quite enlightening. All the fancy covers provide no benefit except expensive bling.

    Like Gal said. the OEM engineers know more about their axles than any aftermarket manufacturer. I have to agree with that statement 110%
  • I saw the Banks videos parts 1 & 2, but couldn't find the third part. I did upgrade my Dodge 3500 to the upgraded Dodge diff cover. Glad I didn't go with one of the others now.
