This PML cover for the big Ford trucks and SUVs has a patterned fin for a custom look. PML offers a front cover in a matching design. It adds capacity to help lower the differential fluid temperature. Thick walls and gasket flanges add strength to the differential housing and provide a uniform clamping force on the gasket surface for a secure seal.

This rear differential cover fits the 10¼ inch or 10½ inch Sterling rear end found on:

• Ford F-250, 1989 and newer
• Ford F-350 single rear wheel, 1989 and newer
• Ford Excursion

PML makes three different rear end covers for the Ford Sterling 10¼ and 10½ inch ring gear, 12 bolt differentials. They have the same prices but different fin patterns, shapes, sizes and features.

NOTE:

If you would like PML to machine your pan for a temperature sensor, there is an additional charge of $40. Please include temperature sensor size in the order notes, or you may order over the phone to insure accuracy. 888-832-5248

The level check hole for this differential is provided by Ford and is located on the driveshaft side of the differential housing.

Installations

Click here for an article by The Diesel Garage showing the installation of patterned fin front and rear covers on an F–250. Image shows RTV on the gasket surface.

Richard's F–250 has a custom paint job on the body and he wanted a custom differential cover to match. Richard selected part number 10816 and matching front cover 10737 and did a custom powder coat in shiny red.

To give your pickup a custom look, buy an as-cast differential cover. We irridite our covers so on arrival they are clean and ready to install or to let you be creative as Richard did with his.
