Ford Performance Rear Diff cover

[Todd Turbo S]

Installed a Ford Performance Rear Diff cover. As others have said, great quality, more stout and more lube capacity. I did this at 390 miles and had no problem removing the OEM cover. The surface rust came off easily with green Scotch-Brite pad. I flushed the remaining oil with an extra quart if AMSOIL, just very **** retentive.

Took me 2 1/2 hours. Took advantage of the spear wheel being removed and cleaned it/coated with Nyalic.

The instructions call to torque the bolts to 25 lbs, but everything I read and videos said 14lbs, so I opted with 14lbs.

It's a surprisingly gratifying mod for some reason. Was one of the first things I did.

Nice job. I plan on doing this one day.

Cute blanket, Btw.

You’re absolutely right, I felt the same way. Love the fact that I can now change my own rear diff oil and it has a magnet to catch any metal.

Thanks, it’s very simple, just watch the videos. I’m a novice and my only problem, was, I didn’t check my torque wrench before I started and had to scramble to borrow my buddies as mine didn’t go to 11 and 14. Yeah, that is my sons first big boy bed set (6 years old, he’s now 28), comes in handy...

Thinking about replacing it when weather gets better, is it straight forward, no issue/challenge, replacement???

Literally the hardest part is putting the new oil in.

Off topic but where did you get the exhaust wraps from? On topic, did you use the stock bolts that came with or get different bolts?

One more off topic question....that looks like a Stainless Works exhaust, does it rub/touch your spare tire at all? Mine does...

I reused the bolts, no need for new ones.
