Most Liked Positive Review
Nice and Heavy
I was pleasantly suprised at the thickness of the steel used. This part is not a flimsy stamping and it comes with a magnet installed, which my old cover did not have. It does need to be painted (it had no finish applied), so I sanded it lightly on the outside and hit it with 2 coats of rust inhibiting spray paint. It came out looking really good. The gasket also appears to be a quality part. I'm very satisfied with this purchase, and would buy it again.

NO Corrosion Resistant Coating, NO Bolts
You can tell just by looking at your differential cover if this fits your truck's rear end, but don't expect to get any bolts in the box; I checked several, and they simply aren't included.
I'm not sure why the online description shows and mentions a corrosion resistant coating either, because this cover is just made of plain steel, and will surely rust faster than the one you're replacing did if you live where trucks rust.
So, yeah, it's a rear differential cover for Ford 8.8" 10 bolt pumpkins, but I just wanted to let everyone know that it has NO BOLTS and NO COATING. It's does have the little magnet inside for picking up metal shavings, but it's plain silvery steel colored, not the phosphate coating brown you see in the picture. I hope it helps.

Better than the old rusty one
Verified Buyer -
my old cover rusted through and was leaking. This new one isn't rusty, and isn't leaking, so I'm satisfied.
Good quality
Verified Buyer -
Fit as advertised for my 2003 ford.
fit perfectly
Staff Reviewer -
out of the box and on the truck. fits perfectly and the enclosed gasket saves the expense of a separate purchase. does need to be cleaned, primered and painted first to maintain its integrity. cost difference between a gasket alone and the cover and gasket combination makes this a no brainer. i replace every two years with a gear oil change due to extreme use pulling a fifth wheel trailer. took longer to clean and paint than to install. will replace evry time and not worry about it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
NEEDS RUST PROOFING
I BOUGHT THIS COVER TO REPLACE MY RUSTY ONE. IT WAS SAID TO HAVE RUST INHIBITORS AND IT LOOKED LIKE GALVANIZED STEEL. AFTER ONLY A FEW MONTHS THIS COVER WAS ORANGE WITH RUST AND LOOKS TERRIBLE FROM BEHIND. I SUGGEST PAINTING THE COVER WITH A GOOD EPOXY COATING BEFORE INSTALLATION OR BETTER YET, PURCHASE A CHROME UNIT.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
