Description

Upgrade the AAM 11.5" axle on your GM Silverado/Sierra 2500HD/3500HD or Dodge Ram 2500/3500 with the PPE 138051010 Heavy Duty Differential Cover - Brushed. Excessive heat can degrade the protective qualities of differential fluid, leading to accelerated wear of gears and bearings. In limited-slip differentials, constant high temperatures can break down clutch packs and friction modifiers, resulting in reduced efficiency and compromised traction control.

Cast from high-grade A356.0-T6 aluminum alloy, the PPE differential cover adds .63 quart of fluid capacity and features half-inch external cooling fins for long-lasting heat management and performance. Built-in windage scrapers inside the PPE cover ensure precise fluid distribution around the gears. By reducing excessive fluid churning, these scrapers lower heat buildup and minimize parasitic loss, promoting more efficient power transfer. Together with the vertical external fins, they form a strong cross-bracing structure that improves load distribution and enhances impact resistance. The fill plug is precisely positioned at the factory level. Both the fill and drain plugs feature a powerful, high-temperature-rated neodymium magnet that captures ferrous particles for added protection.

Features:
  • Brushed Finish
  • Increases Oil Capacity By .63 Quart For Higher Thermal Capacity
  • Cast-In Gussets For Additional Differential Housing Flange Support And Increased Rigidity
  • External Fins And Internal Scrapers Work Together To Form An Ultra-Strong Cross-Bracing Structure
  • Premium A356.0-T6 Heat-Treated Cast Aluminum Alloy – A High-Strength, Thermally Conductive Material
  • Precision-Cast Using Permanent Steel Molds For A Smooth, Consistent Finish And High Dimensional Accuracy
  • 304 Stainless Steel Service Plugs With Built-In High Temperature Rated Neodymium Magnets And Viton O-Rings
  • Half-Inch External Fins Improve Heat Dissipation, Lower Differential Fluid Temperature, And Increase Impact Resistance
  • Precision-Placed Internal Windage Scrapers Prevent Excessive Churning, Reducing Heat Generation, Fluid Aeration, And Power Loss

Application Note:
Only works with vehicles equipped with AAM 14-11.5'' axle. For Gas trucks please confirm if you have an 11.5" differential before ordering.

Ram Note: 
This product will only fit on 2013+ Ram diesel models with a rear leaf spring suspension. Due to clearance issues, this cover will NOT fit on rear coil spring applications.

TUBSKI (UT) | December 10th, 2024
i opened this up and noticed one of the plugs were missing and i had to scramble to try and find a plug so that i could fill it with fluid. I had no vehicle for 2 days, because i had to order one

Dodge set up

Order# 1817078. Wasn’t noted on here but for Dodge gears, you need to grind an inch out of the inside webbing to clear. Not super difficult but leaves a lot of room for unnecessary errors that I feel should have been done from the factory.

Good Product BUT!
Ryan (Florida) | October 8th, 2021
2015 chevy 2500hd duramax Fits good, Gasket is good, stainless allen hardware is nice, with included washers. BUT 3 brake line brackets on the top of the diff had to be cut and custom fit to make this cover work. For the price you think it would be plug and play otherwise awesome cover just sucks I had to hack up my stock brackets.
