High-Strength Aluminum Construction
The aFe POWER Pro Series differential cover is manufactured from high-strength A356 cast aluminum for excellent rigidity and durability. The robust construction provides a secure replacement for the factory cover while supporting the demands of hardworking Super Duty trucks.
Increased Fluid Capacity & Cooling
Approximately 0.5 quart of additional fluid capacity helps support lubrication and temperature management during extended operation. Integrated internal and external cooling fins increase available surface area and help transfer heat from the differential fluid to the surrounding air.
Magnetic Drain & Deep-Reach Fill Plugs
Both a neodymium magnetic drain plug and a deep-reach magnetic fill plug are incorporated into the Pro Series design. These magnetic plugs help capture loose metallic particles suspended in the differential fluid, providing an additional layer of protection for internal axle components.
Integrated Oil Level Sight Glass
An integrated sight glass makes it easy to visually inspect the differential fluid level without removing the cover or guessing at fluid quantity. It also provides a convenient way to monitor the visible condition of the fluid during routine inspections.
Oil-Level Plug
A precisely positioned oil-level plug provides another convenient service feature and helps prevent accidental overfilling. Together with the sight glass, it makes checking and maintaining the proper differential fluid level straightforward.
