Aftermarket rear differential covers have been around for decades. But what effect do they have on your gear oil? What's really going on behind the cover? Gale Banks compares popular high-capacity flat-back units with the new patented Ram-Air rear diff cover for Ford Sterling axles.
The new Ram-Air rear differential cover fits the 1985-2020 Ford Sterling Axle 12-bolt with 10.25/10.5 ring gear and is available with Amsoil SEVERE GEAR® Synthetic Extreme Pressure Gear Lube.
