Cast Aluminum Rear Differential Cover - Heavy Duty
Excessive heat can degrade the protective qualities of differential fluid, leading to accelerated wear of gears and bearings. In limited-slip differentials, constant high temperatures can break down clutch packs and friction modifiers, resulting in reduced efficiency and compromised traction control.
Cast from high-grade A356.0-T6 aluminum alloy, the PPE differential cover adds 0.56 quart of fluid capacity and features half-inch external cooling fins for long-lasting heat management and performance.
Built-in windage scrapers inside the PPE cover ensure precise fluid distribution around the gears. By reducing excessive fluid churning, these scrapers lower heat buildup and minimize parasitic loss, promoting more efficient power transfer. Together with the vertical external fins, they form a strong cross-bracing structure that improves load distribution and enhances impact resistance.
The fill plug is precisely positioned at the factory level. Both the fill and drain plugs feature a powerful, high-temperature-rated neodymium magnet that captures ferrous particles for added protection.

I needed to change my rear differential fluid. So, I decided to upgrade the cover at the same time. After watching videos on F-150s, I came across PPE. After some research, I decided on this one in black. I’m 100% satisfied by the craftsmanship, the product having a magnetic tipped drain and fill plug and their customer service! I highly recommend PPE!

Ford Super 8.8/12 bolt, decided on this cover for the drain and fill hole at OEM level, more importantly the curved area directly behind the ring gear to sling gear oil forward to the pinion bearing. I used a Lube Locker gasket and swapped the chrome bolts for black.

Looks great, and I love having a drain plug and a fill plug.

Wanted to have a way to drain and add Amsoil on my 2023 F150 5.0 FX4 SuperCrew and so happy I bought this PPE diff cover because not only looks fantastic but with just 22k miles with no towing and very dirty at draining. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Glad I finally replaced diff cover and tranny pan since the OEM has no drain plugs and I think Ford’s 150k recommended maintenance for both is ‘optimistic’. Installed the diff cover myself with mag hytec gasket and had local shop do the tranny pan since I did not want to deal with the ‘obstacles’ for the latter myself.

replaced my rear diff fluid and instead of re-installing stock cover went with the PPE 8.8 cast aluminum cover with fill and drain ports. Very impressive quality and nice stainless bolts come with unit. highly recommend for the price good value.

Good product the material was heavy duty aluminum cast not that cheap paper thin stuff the other guys make..the mating surface match perfect with the housing.. Great upgrade for your truck. Customer service was outstanding when I called with some questions and the delivery was super fast. The packagen was great no damage to part or lost hardware. Good experience with this company hand's down..

I recently upgraded my differential cover to the PPE upgraded cover, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The installation was a breeze, and the cover has significantly improved the maintenance of my vehicle. Not only does it provide better protection for my differential, but it also makes fluid changes and inspections much easier. I highly recommend the PPE upgraded differential cover to anyone looking for a simple yet effective upgrade for their vehicle.

Nice diff cover especially for the price! Double check your type of axle, don’t just count the diff cover bolts.
Pros:

Install:
Remove old diff cover and use brake cleaner and razor to clean off old gasket. Wrap diff gears with a plastic bag to keep gasket bits from falling into diff.
I smeared black Permatex on the PPE cover and hand tightened the bolts. Waited one hour for the gasket to set and then torqued snug (the torque specs are too high for my in-lb wrench and too low for my ft-lb wrench).
Overall:
Looks great, much thicker than stock and adds over 0.5 extra quarts. Definitely use 75w90. The old 75w140 that drained out was like thick honey. Your Super 8.8 can’t tow heavy enough for 75w140 to make a difference.
