Differential Cover

Volume: 0.5 qt. over stock

Dimensions: Click here for dimensions.

The PML cover for Ford trucks and SUVs has a patterned fin design and a low clearance. It adds capacity to help lower the differential fluid temperature. Thick walls and gasket flanges add strength to the differential housing and provide a uniform clamping force on the gasket surface for a secure seal.

See PML part number 7092 for a straight fin design.

Applications

This rear end differential cover fits many Ford trucks and SUVs. Some common applications for the Ford 9¾ differential are:

Always check the vehicle to verify the differential and make sure there is clearance for a larger cover.

Drain, Fill, Level Check, Temperature Sending Unit

The differential cover has a drain hole on the bottom and includes a magnetic drain plug.

There is a fill hole on top.

On the vehicles this cover was designed for there is a plug on the driveshaft side of the differential for level check (this can also be used for filling).

A boss on the differential cover can be machined for a temperature sending unit. PML has machine shop and charges $40 per hole.
