    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.

        FAQs

        Q1: How to plug a tiny hole on my truck differential? 

        A1: To plug a tiny hole on your truck differential, you can use a high-temperature epoxy or metal filler. Clean the area thoroughly, apply the filler according to the manufacturer's instructions, and allow it to cure completely before refilling the differential fluid.

        Q2: Is it safe to work under a car on jack stands? 

        A2: Yes, it is safe to work under a car on jack stands if you follow proper safety precautions. Ensure the car is on a flat surface, use high-quality jack stands rated for your vehicle's weight, and never rely solely on a hydraulic jack for support.

        Q3: What causes the rear differential to leak? 

        A3: The rear differential can leak due to worn-out seals, gaskets, or damaged differential covers. Regular inspection and maintenance can help identify and fix leaks before they cause significant damage.

        Q4: How tight should a pinion nut be? 

        A4: The pinion nut should be tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque, usually found in the vehicle's service manual. Over-tightening or under-tightening can cause premature wear or damage to the differential components.

        Q5: How to take off a frozen filler plug on my truck differential? 

        A5: To remove a frozen filler plug, apply penetrating oil to the plug and allow it to soak for several hours. Use a breaker bar or an impact wrench to gently loosen the plug. If it still won't budge, apply heat with a torch around the plug to expand the metal, then try again.

        Q6: How difficult is it to replace the rear differential on a car? 

        A6: Replacing the rear differential can be challenging and typically requires advanced mechanical skills and special tools. It's recommended to consult a professional mechanic unless you have experience with such repairs.

        Q7: Is it safe to jack a car up under the differential? 

        A7: Yes, it is generally safe to jack a car up under the differential, provided you use a proper jack and jack stands rated for the vehicle's weight. Always refer to the vehicle's owner manual for jacking points.

        Q8: What happens if your rear differential goes out while driving? 

        A8: If your rear differential fails while driving, you may experience loss of power to the wheels, unusual noises, or difficulty controlling the vehicle. It's crucial to pull over safely and have the vehicle towed to a repair shop immediately.

        Q9: How to identify a Dana 70 rear axle? 

        A9: To identify a Dana 70 rear axle, look for the identification tag on the differential cover, which will have the model number and gear ratio. You can also measure the ring gear diameter, which is typically around 10.5 inches for a Dana 70.

        Q10: What causes differential overheating and how to prevent it? 

        A10: Differential overheating can be caused by low fluid levels, poor-quality fluid, or excessive load. Prevent overheating by regularly checking and maintaining fluid levels, using high-quality differential fluid, and ensuring your differential cover has adequate cooling features, like the SPELAB Cooling Differential Covers.

        Review of Diff Cover for 2003 Ford F150

        Everything good except the provided bolts and washers gave a few minor problems such as the lock washer did not seat properly in the bolt fitting on a couple of the bolts and the lock washer was ruined. I found one in my tool box
        to complete that bolt install. Cover is really nice and looks great. I would
        recommend it for your truck. Just take care installing the bolts and washers.
