Diff Covers on Quadra Drive Diffs

[hemijeepy]

Yea I am Wooders even though I dont need the additive i need to get some of them diff covers! Thanks!

I guess I am interested but I am still leaning towards the ARB one for the reasons I listed previously. I really like the idea of the drain plug so that I don't have to take off the cover to change fluids. Just undo the plug, drain and then refill - can't beat that. The dipstick is pretty cool too.

I agree the ARB's look pretty funky. But I actualy prefer to remove the cover when draing the oil cause I can then do an inspection....you know look at the wear patterns, check for and chips etc in the teeth or larger bits flaoting about in there.....
Also I usually give it a quick wipe down to get rid of as much of the old oil as possible - especially the sludge that often sits at the bottom

You should see the rubber plug they have on the WH diffs. very poor from Jeep in my opinon. See the pic attched.
I too removed the cover from my rear diff when I did my oil drain just to see whats what.

Agree with wooders, my diff covers have the drain plugs yet I still take them off and have a good look at everything and clean the internals down. I've got a little system where you have them both open at the same time takes about 40mins or so and bobs your uncle........ Clean diff fluid

The rear diff cover on the WJ's is the same with a rubbber/plastic plug. If i could find a different cover for that I would take it but nobody does one or is interested in doing one. I am only looking at the front diff.
