This PML cover for Super Duty Ford trucks and SUVs with the Sterling 10.25 or 10.5 inch ring gear.
Benefits:
- Extra capacity
- 0.5 inches deeper than stock for vehicles with clearance concerns
- Heavy duty sand cast aluminum construction for thick walls to add strength
- Machined gasket flange to provide a uniform clamping force for a secure seal
- Drain hole and magnetic drain plug included
- Fins for heat dissipation and a custom look
This PML rear cover fits the Sterling 10.25 or 10.5 inch ring gear differential. It can replace the stock 12 bolt cover. Some possible applications are:
- Ford F-250, 1989 to 2016, some 2017 and newer models
- Ford F-350 single rear wheel, 1989 to 2016, some 2017 and newer models (if you have a Dually, see PML Dana 80 differential covers)
- Ford Excursion, 2000 to 2005
Always check your vehicle to verify differential and space available for a larger cover. Because configurations vary, PML cannot guarantee fitment.
Needing a round shape with straight fins: PML makes a rounder Ford 10.25, 10.5 differential cover for those wanting a classic straight fin design and a shape similar to the stock cover.
14 Bolt Rear Differential: In 2017 Ford introduced a 14 bolt rear differential cover. Contact us at yourcovers@pmli.com or 310-671-4345 if interested in a cover for this.
Customers have installed this PML differential cover on hundreds of Ford F-250 and F-350 trucks and Excursion SUVs.

2004 F-350 Installation
PML's differential cover looks great on the back of Kelderman's Screamin' Diesel F-350. The F-350 is a 2004 Harley Davidson Super Duty with Kelderman's custom designed system to lower the bed to the ground. Makes it easy to roll your bike to and from the bed.
