Ford Performance rear diff cover

[V_K]

Have you had any issues since installing the FP Rear Diff cover with the ARP bolts? I plan on using these bolts as well when I swap out my cover. Any other suggestions?

Don't forget the Spicer/non-FRPP branded cover for less money.

This.

It’s literally the exact same part with a different sticker.

The Ford part was $109 for me after burning my FordPass points

Check my post, # 90.

No issues with ARP bolts but when I checked a few weeks ago, the bolts did loosen up a little.

Spicer is my plan as well.

What if I use blue loctite with the ARP bolts? Would it still loosen up over time? I really want to do this, but the bolts loosening up is a bit discouraging, especially even after using the ARP bolts. I'd rather keep the stock cover on and have less headaches down the line lol.

I used Locktite red on mine….

I know there’s utility to removing the cover to really wipe down the diff housing and gears before buttoning it back up and adding new gear oil, but plan to just use an extra 1/2 quart or so every time I change it to ‘flush’ any additional debris that doesn’t drain out on its own.

I figure every third time or so I can heat up the bolts and remove them…that’s gonna get me close to another 100K miles, and realistically I’ll probably have to rebuild the diff by then anyway.

But Blue locktite is sufficient.
