2005 Ford F-150 Differential Cover - Rear Dorman

  • Features:
    • Enhanced protection - ideal solution for off-road or snowplow vehicles that need additional protection from damaging rocks and other hazards that can crack an ordinary stamped steel differential cover
    • Precise fit - engineered to exacting specifications to match the fit and function of the original equipment differential cover for a seamless installation on specified Ford and Lincoln vehicles
    • Upgraded repair - made from rigid ductile (also known as nodular) iron with an attractive, corrosion-resistant wrinkled finish, and includes required bolts and three plugs for a complete installation and simplified maintenance
    • Customize it - includes a stainless steel Dorman logo plate that's removable so you can replace it with the plate and logo of your choice
  • If you venture off the beaten path, plow snow, or subject your truck or SUV to extreme conditions, this rugged rear differential cover will boost the protection and personality of your vehicle's drivetrain. Instead of the vulnerable thin stamped steel original equipment cover, this diff cover is precision-engineered from thick ductile iron and boasts an attractive, corrosion-resistant wrinkle coating. Rocks, trail hazards and damaging debris can easily ding an ordinary differential cover, leading to oil leaks and cracks. Plow trucks undergo stress due to the weight of salters and plows, and the no-brakes impacts of hidden potholes, coupled with the corrosive nature of all the salt season after season. This cover also features two filler plugs, which can help ease the difficulties of filling through the factory plug located on the axle housing. The cover is also fitted with a drain plug to make fluid exchanges quick, easy, and remove the need for replacing the differential cover gasket. This extra-rigid replacement will help keep critical components safe while adding a serious cool factor, especially on lifted vehicles. Want to customize your diff even more? We've made the stainless steel Dorman logo plate removable so you can replace it with the plate and logo of your choice. The cover comes complete with all necessary bolts and plugs for a complete upgrade.

      Bolted right up to a Chrysler 8.25 differential. Cover came painted but it was thin paint. Overall very happy.

      Not that much to say: it's a cover. It has a magnet on the inside and comes with a gasket as pictured. Seems sturdy enough.On most models, the filler plug is located on the right side near the front of the differential case. It has a square driver notch that fits the end of a 3/8" ratchet. This cover does not have a plug.Torque specs from the 1994 manual:-Cover plate bolts: 20 lbs. ft.-Filler plug: 18 lbs. ft.Vehicle: 1994 K2500 Suburban9.5" RG 4:10 rear axle (RPOs NA4, GT5, G80)

      Perfect fit on my 06 F-150 XLT 4x4. Read your axle and make sure you get the right one, this fit perfect.

      Was a perfect match for my 96 GMC with semi floating 14 bolt. Don't forget the fill hole for the 14 bolt is cast into the housing on the passenger side near the input shaft so don;t expect to see one on this cover.

      I know many claim the "Chinese" heritage for Dorman, but I want to tell the buyers this has a bit more steel in it than the FORD product I pulled off. Totally corroded and looks like junk. I sprayed the cover with clear coat (2 coats) and put the gasket on with blue Silicon. Be aware that the gasket needs to be matched (one side fits better than the flip side) so try the hole matching before you "glue". There are two different covers for the 98-2000 models this is for the 9.5 inch larger rear end so before you buy get the right one.Fits perfect and hopefully a good few years of service.

      2005 Chevy Avalanche had a rusted fill plug. VERY glad I tried to remove that first before draining the rear diff. The fill plug was completely rusted and I stripped the square hole using a 3/8 socket adapter. VERY very glad I found this!! Just remove old cover, scrape old gasket off, get new screws!, put on new cover/gasket, fill with correct amount of AMSoil 75w90--Now recommended instead of 80w-90. 80w is thinner and provides less protection in high heat. AMSoil.com will tell you how much diff fluid to put in the front and rear diff. Still had to buy the transfer case fluid from GM$ and fill till it came out of the fill plug. Easy way to save $750 and keep your truck going for a few more years. Gear-transfer case fluids ran me $100 and this cover was $25.
