Mag-Hytec's Dana 60 front differential cover for the '89-'02 Dodge Ram adds a
quart of capacity over the stock cover (up from 3-3.5 quarts stock to 4-4.5
quarts). It is a perfect match in appearance and function to the rear
differential covers.
Perhaps the most important feature for off-road use of your four wheel drive
Dodge Turbo Diesel is the angled ramp on the bottom half of the cover, instead
of a flat mounting flange. The purpose for this ramp is that if you hit a rock
or other obstruction on the trail, the differential will tend to ride up and
over it instead of smashing the cover into the gears.
CAUTION: Installation of this cover is just a bit more involved than for the
other Mag-Hytec differential covers. You need to pop the driver’s side tie rod
end loose from the steering knuckle to provide clearance between the ring gear
and the steering rod.
