This rear end differential cover fits many Ford F150s, vans and SUVs with the 12 bolt for 9.75 differential. Some possible applications are:
- F150, 2004 to 2023
- F150, 1997 to 2003, 5.4 engine
- Navigator, 1995 to 2006
- Expedition, 1997 to 2002, 5.4 engine (check carefully for clearance)

Configurations vary. Always check the vehicle to verify the differential and clearance for a larger cover. Some vehicles may have a Ford 8.8, PML part number 9519, or 8.8 Super, PML part number 11145, differential.
Note to Lightning owners: Ford Lightning 1999 to 2004 have a sway bar very close to the stock cover and there is no space for a larger aftermarket cover. Check your truck carefully for clearance.
