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

This cover fits the Chrysler/Dodge 9.25 inch ring gear differential, frequently found on the rear of the following vehicles:

• Ram 1500, 1994 to present
  • 2009 and up should check clearance with sway and pan hard bars even though this cover has been installed without a problem it is a tight fit
  • SRT models usually need a Dana 60 10 bolt differential cover
  • Mega Cab models usually need 10.5 inch ring gear 14 bolt differential cover
• Dakota, 1998-2003, 5.9 engine
• Dakota, 2000 & newer, 4.7 engine

Always check your vehicle to verify differential and clearance. Configurations vary. Counting the bolts on the stock cover can help identify the differential. PML cannot guarantee fitment.

Aftermarket parts, such as sway bars, change the available clearance for a larger differential cover. Check measurements.

Common gear ratios for the Dodge 9.25 rear axle are 3.21, 3.55 and 3.92.

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.

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.

Sway and Pan Hard Bars

This PML cover has been installed on many newer model year trucks although there is not much space. Dropping the sway bar during installation is helpful.

Sport models have different suspension which could could change clearance. Configurations vary so check your vehicle before ordering.
