PML designed this rear different cover for Ram 1500, Dakota, and Durango, with additional capacity and fins for dissipating heat from the fluid.
On trucks with sway and pan hard bars, this design maintains clearance to those OEM parts.
Benefits:
- Drain hole and magnetic drain plug included for easy servicing
- Extra capacity
- Fins for heat dissipation
- Clears stock pan hard and sway bars in most configurations
- Custom fin design
- Strong sand cast aluminum construction
- Machined gasket flange for a secure seal
Included with Cover
This PML rear axle cover has drain, level check, and fill holes for easy 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.
Optional Temperature Sending Unit Machining
The cover has a location on face that can be machined for a temperature sensor. The temperature sending unit will stick out perpendicular to the face of the cover.
There is a machining charge for PML to drill and tap the hole.
