Review of Clear-Gearz Differential Cover
Well guy's when I changed out my gears a few years ago I bent the stock cover just enough that I couldn't get it to seal up good.
So I bought a Clear-Gearz cover. At the time they were about $100 and I thought, cool, I can check fluid levels, check for water in the oil, etc., all without even crawling under my truck too far.
Well it eventually started leaking a little. Not enough to drip but enough to make a mess, then finally I noticed a few drips.
I was going to take off the cover and reseal it when I found out why it was leaking. A corner of the cover had broken right next to a bolt.
I don't know how this happened but I know that I didn't have the bolts torqued down too tight.
Any way. My suggestion is to suck it up and spend the money on something like a Mag-Hytech. I got my for $260 from their website.
It has a drain plug, dip stick, it's really strong, and maybe the best thing is that it has an O-ring with it so you don't have to mess with any gasket maker.
Here's a pic of where the Clear-Gearz broke.

It's just not my thing. I don't like the though of a piece of plastic taking the place of a solid piece of steel.
