This PML front axle cover features:

• Two fill/level check holes at proper levels to accommodate reverse or high pinion models
• Fins and cast aluminum construction for cooling
• Thick walls
• Drain hole and magnetic plug to simplify maintenance
• Follows stock cover profile to maintain clearance on most vehicles

These vehicles frequently use the Dana 25, 27, 30 front differential:

• Front differentials on Jeeps from 1941 to present
• Front differentials on Ford Explorer from 1991 to present
• Front differentials on Scouts from 1960 to 1974
• Rear differentials on Scouts from 1960 to 1967
• Front differentials on pre-1970 Broncos.

Check your stock set up to make sure you have a Dana 25, 27, 30. Other differential configurations are possible. Also, make sure you have clearance for a larger cover. Check with steering at both limits at the limits of the suspension. This is a popular front axle on many vehicles but not all have space for a larger, aftermarket cover.

This PML differential cover has a drain hole on the bottom and fill holes on the front. A magnetic drain plug and mounting bolts are included. Use the fill hole that corresponds to the fill hole on your stock cover. This cover does not have a location for machining for a temperature sending unit.

1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ

Ramon installed this PML Dana 30 cover on the front and PML Dana 44 Super on the rear of his 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9L. His ZJ is lifted and had extra clearance, which allowed for the install of the rear cover.
