MAG-HYTEC question

[Big Blue]

Nice job. It's a great cover and you will surely enjoy it. I would not have used the liquid gasket. The factory gasket is perfect as long as you use a cross tightening pattern. Mine has seen plenty of acton, factory gasket only and never a drop on the ground. Not to mention, if you now find yourself needing to remove it at a Raptor event/emergency repair, you just made the job more complicated.

good point.

Ditto. Not a hint of a leak from mine either, and I used neither RTV nor thread sealant.

I have a 2012 Screw and getting 4.88 yukon gears installed. I figured might as well upgrade to this Mag Hytec cover as well. Would this cover fit my truck as well? I thought I read somewhere that the size of the axle changed after a certain year. And now I can't find that thread. Smh. Anyway, any help is appreciated. Also, do they make a front diff cover as well?

The front diff changed but the rear is the same, don't know if they offer a front diff cover.

I wish they made a front cover, or aFe, I can't find anything. But yes all the rears are the same 9.75", at least for Gen1.

I have this MagHytec cover on my 2012 Raptor, it fit just fine. Dealer installed it.

Awesome. Thanks for all the responses! Appreciate it!

Just bought a '14 screw so I'm new to the game.. but curious as to the purpose of the aftermarket rear diff cover? I understand a front (for rock crawlers) as its added protection but I don't understand the purpose of a rear one. I'm not bashing by any means because I think they look cool, just wondering if there was more too it than looks. Thanks!

Don't waste your money. Makes putting a 37" spare underneath impossible, too. I had one, took it off, and never looked back. Better things to spend your money on than a fancy diff cover......
