Rear differential covers
I’m getting ready to have the rear diff serviced and am considering adding an aluminum cover with heat sink. Have you gone this route? Does it make any significant difference? I have 155,000 miles...

I have been considering adding a finned aluminum cover but the price does seem high. The owners manual for my 2016 F150 does recommending changing the oil to synthetic if consistently towing near rated limits. Perhaps that is all that is needed. While I am towing near the rated limit I am mostly doing short, low speed trips and doubt that my axle gets that hot.
Food for thought, I don't think that I have ever seen a class 8 tractor with a finned cover.
Again, amazon sells the factory ford finned cover for approx $45.
