Dana 44, 10 Bolt, Top Fill, Patterned Fins, Differential CoverPML Part Number 9516This part has been discontinued. We have one left in stock. It is SPECIAL #273. Please email yourcovers@pmli.com or call 310-671-4345 to order.
Volume: about 0.25 qt. over stock Dimensions: Click here for dimensions. Check shape, size, number of bolts, level check hole location, axle rotation, vent if any, and clearance. This cover has been installed on 1960s GM trucks, 1970s F250s and 1997 to 2001 Ram 1500 trucks as well as some Jeeps. Because the Dana 44 differential has so many uses and variations, read this pdf file on PML Covers for Dana 44 differentials for more information on what to check before replacing your stock cover. The Dana 44 differential is found on many vehicles beginning in the 1940´s and is still used today. For example, Jeep CJ 1941-1975 rear ends and Ford Bronco 1966-1979 front ends are typically Dana 44s. There are several versions of Dana 44 differentials so please check your vehicle carefully to verify shape, number of bolts, clearance, rotation, and level check hole location. Be very careful! 2009 and newer Jeeps or GM front ends may have a vent. In 2009, Jeep changed the design of the rear axles and added a vent so this PML cover will not work on these newer models. The suspension can be very close to the stock cover so there may not be any space for a larger differential cover. Always check for clearance and fitment. Using on Front EndIf you are planning to use this on a front differential, be sure you have enough room in all positions. The steering linkage moves forward and backward (in addition to side to side) as you turn the steering wheel. Reference this cover's dimensions. Drain Hole, Fill Hole, Level Check HoleThis cover has three holes. The bottom hole is a drain hole. The plug at the top is used to fill the differential. The one on the side is left open when filling to let you know when the differential is full. Once oil starts to drip out the side hole, it's full. Comparing Dana 44 CoversBe sure to compare the number of bolts, shape, level check hole location to your stock cover and check if you have clearance for a larger cover.

Graphic on the right compares the capacity and fill levels of PML's Part Number 9516 top fill and PML's Part Number 5055 low front fill cover and the stock cover 42960-1 (used on Jeeps).

Some vehicles have a sway bar ½–inch from the stock differential cover. Wrangler will need to be lifted or the sway bar moved or modified. Sway bar too close as is to accomodate a larger aftermarket rear end cover. |

2008 WranglerMBRP installed this cover on the front end and rear end differentials of their custom Jeep 2008 JK Wrangler Rubicon. See a slide show of the installation. MBRP has lifted and modified this Rubicon. On a stock Jeep, the sway bar is likely to hit a deeper cover.
