changed the gear oil in my 8.8 today and that cover is a joke. :fie: tried a stock steel cover and obviously it didnt fit. my question is how do i know what aftermaket covers will clear the ring gear? from my forum searching, ive found some aftermarket covers dont fit...
 
What you need is one of the covers from Jim, if he still has any available.
 
a stock ranger steel diff cover will fit.. one from an f150 Will not.
 
Most aftermarket aluminum covers will fit. Chromed steel ones I'm not sure on though.
 
Got mine from Ford, with my discount $45 ,steel that is
 
I have had varying degrees of success with aftermarket diff covers. All of the covers that I got bolted up properly, the first chrome cover that I got rusted out within 2 years. The second chrome cover that I never quite sealed properly, but it didn't rust (probably due to being bathed constantly in fresh gear oil). Then I got a Rockcrusher diff cover, liked it so much that I got a second. As for a stock steel cover not fitting, I will have to check that out next time that I have a diff cover off.
