Im replacing my factory rust colored differential cover and as much as I want to get a mag hytec I dont want to spend that much money... Jegs.com has a couple chrome covers, Spectre, and trans dapt. They are both about 40 dollars and both come with a gasket and bolts. Anyone have any experiance with either one of these brands or know of a better brand?

 

I have heard that chrome is a good insulator of heat and it's not good to get a chrome diff cover because of this.

But no, I have no experience with those covers. Sorry.

Mickey

 

I put one on my truck about 4 years ago and it looks like a stock one again. So much rust. It only looked good for the first year or 2 but road salt eats them up.

I still think that the Mag-Hytec is a better product. But these Ford Racing Performance Parts covers are pretty good too. You can see from the photos that they offer drain plugs and fill holes for easy service access. But no magnets, no cooling fins, and no dipsticks.

 

Dont like the chrome... I use the alum Trick flow cover with bearing plate & cooling fins
