This PML rear axle cover features drain, level check, and fill holes for easier maintenance. Just below the fill plug, is the level check hole. You fill until the fluid comes out of that hole. Plugs are provided for all three holes. The drain plug is magnetic. PML includes new hardware with the cover. We have one of these differential covers on special: Special # 259 Temperature Sending Unit Optional Machining The cover has a location on face that can be machined for a temperature sensor. The option to have the cover drilled and tapped will need to be ordered over the phone, not on-line, and there is a machining charge. The temperature sending unit will stick out perpendicular to the face of the service. Please call to order or for more information. Sway and Pan Hard Bars In 2009, Dodge added pan hard and sway bars behind the differential cover on Ram trucks. This image shows the stock cover on a 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 4X4 with the ZF differential. This PML cover has been installed on many of these newer model year trucks although there is not much space. Dropping the sway bar during installation is helpful. See Installations, below. Sport models have different suspension. This could change clearance. Configurations vary so check your vehicle before ordering. PML Differential Cover Compared to Stock Click on image to view larger.
