Differential Cover, Dana, 50/60 Front, 10 Bolt, 2000 & Older Fords & Dodges, As-Cast

Volume: 0.5 quarts over stock, approximately. On Ford F–350 trucks, this front end differential cover is slightly deeper than the stock covers for added fluid capacity.

Dimensions: The stock cover we have is about 2.63 inches deep. This cover is about 1 inch deeper than that. On the inside, the distance from the gasket flange to the inside is approximately 3.1 inches at the tallest point. Check for clearance with wheels straight, left and right. Check that the fill/level check is in the same location as on your stock cover.

Applications: This PML Dana 50/60 front end cover is designed for older Ford Super Duty trucks. This cover clears the ring gear and the steering linkage on most older Ford truck applications. Possible applications for this cover include:

Dodge 1 ton trucks, 1975 to 1999

Ford F–350 trucks and F–250, 1966 to about 2001

Ford Excursion and , F–450, F–550, 1999 and newer

GM 1 ton trucks, 1973 to 1991

Jeep and truck custom Dana 60 rear or front applications

Steering Linkage Clearance Concerns: For trucks about 1999 and newer, the steering linkage can cause a clearance issue with this cover. Trucks that are lifted or modified may not have any clearance issues. If you have a newer model truck with the steering linkage next to the stock front cover, PML designed a cover to clear it. See our patterned fin Dana 50, 60 front cover, part number 10737. Note that if you have an older model trucks (1966 to about 1999), you cannot use this patterned fin cover, part number 10737, because it is too shallow to clear the gear on older trucks.

Vent: If your stock cover has a vent fitting (instead of having a vent on the differential housing), this differential cover cannot be used. The vent is common on Dodge trucks.

Variations: Configurations vary so please check carefully. Some F–250 trucks have independent front suspension and cannot use this cover. Some Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks can have a track bar and do not have clearance for a larger cover. Be sure to check for clearance with the steering all the way at stops.

Matching Rear Cover: The matching rear cover is PML part number 7086, a straight fin patterned cover for Ford Sterling 10¼, 10½ inch ring gear rear ends.

Drain and Fill/Level Check: This differential cover has drain and fill/level check holes.
