Innovative points
1. The external heat sink design increases the contact area between the differential cover and the surrounding air, enhancing heat dissipation performance.
2. The internal diversion groove design aligns with the direction of liquid flow in the differential gear's rotation, ensuring maximum flow rate for better lubrication.
3. The use of aluminum alloy material significantly improves cooling performance compared to the commonly used iron material. When comparing billet to cast products, billet items are often considered more durable and built for long-lasting performance.
4. An external observation mirror with a floating ball is used to monitor the oil level. Traditional observation mirrors in the market may darken over time, reducing visibility. Therefore, the floating ball allows us to monitor the oil level even if the mirror darkens.
5. The outside with black wrinkle paint providing rust resistance.

I am very happy with my unpainted cast aluminum cover. I didn’t have any issues with fitment or hardware / sight glass installation. It looks great inside and out. I wish I would’ve taken a picture before reinstalling the spare tire.

Good product - better instructions.
In all I love it. The sight glass is great. Look is awesome. All I’d ask for is a recommended torque for the hardware as it is a hardware change and lap from a bolt to hex. We ended up finding what many used on a Facebook forum and from looking around the internet. Other than that great product.

REAR DIFF COVER
BEST DIFF COVER FOR MY 2000 FORD EXCURSION LIMITED
Main challenges are removing and sealing the factory crankcase-breather hoses, then transferring the factory O-ring without stretching or mis-seating it. Cap every disconnected factory port/tube correctly, lift the old cover straight up, keep debris out, and route the new breather hose safely—zip-tied away from moving/hot parts. Start all six bolts by hand, tighten from the center outward, and use only 4–8 ft-lb. Be gentle to avoid scratching anodized covers.
Good quality and half the big brands price love itttttt

Worth it!!!
I used a different oil catch can because it was “cheaper”. It just made a mess of my engine compartment. It couldn’t handle the pressure of the Cummins. Should have gotten this one in the first place. You get what you pay for! I have alot of SPELAB parts in my truck should have known better. Love the setup, easy to do yourself and now I don’t have to worry about it ever again. Set it and forget it! Love SPELAB!! Set up looks amazing!!!

2011+ Upper Radiator Pipe
The kit came quickly and wasn’t missing everything. The finish of the billet parts it nice and so is the powder on the pipe. Drove 2000 plus miles with with on and have had zero issues.
Loved the kit good fit and finish and easy to install. The little extraction tool helped immensely for that pesky bolt on the back. I purchased this kit because of the good reviews and I seen one on a 2018 Chevy Duramax that had been fully deleted and was asking the owner questions about the kit and where he bought it, he said SPELAB it was well worth the money and made it easier to put oil in the truck and yes does make it a lot easier to fill the engine with oil and if the old plastic ccv system cracks do to heat and and age it pushes oil on the engine and could cause a fire so it was well worth the money and piece of mind. So if you are looking for a CCV reroute kit I highly recommend this kit.

Install studs hand-tight
do not treat head studs like ordinary bolts. Clean and chase every block thread, verify hole depth and any fluid passages, then apply the supplied assembly lubricant only where specified—especially on nut and washer contact surfaces.

Good studs
Took the gamble on these. Ive installed arp studs for customers and I did these in my truck. Few thousand miles now and no issues. I can’t say they are better than arp but I can say they are just as good for just half of the price.

Intake horn with grid heater relocation
First off I purchased this intake horn/w grid heater relocation because of the price and the heating element came as a kit. I am not a truck mechanic and this part wasn't very easy for me to swap out. The parts were shipped extremely fast and well packaged this intake horn was installed in conjunction with Spelab's rid heater delete kit. I was also nervous to do this swap myself because I haven't messed with any of these parts previously. But Praise God I was able to take everything apart and install the new parts without any issues. The videos were alright also looked up a few videos on YouTube to get a better idea of what I was up against before I started. Overall Spelab has been a great experience, all the parts were very nice looking and well made. I will definitely do business with Spelab in the future. I am considering doing the head stud kit.

It’s an exhaust not really much to screw up. Exactly what I thought it would be.

If your deleted and tuned you need these
Installed on my 2015 ram. About 10 hours start to finish. Also did a valve adjustment. So far so good, doing a hot retorque in the next few days, but I’m set on max, 200hp, tune and it sounds amazing. If your deleted and tuned you need these.
