Default Dirty rear end

Does anyone know of diff. covers with a threaded plug for our 7.24/8.25 axles? The rubber push in plugs just don't do it for me and every time i submerge the front axle i have to drain it and change the fluid

Im sure there is something. But maybe just replce your plug, they do wear out. I do deep water. I havnt had any leaks in the diffs.

Here is some I got the chrome one with the threaded plug, only thing is you got to drill a breather being that you elminate the rubber plug.

you could weld a large nut over top of the hole, get a plastic washer to fit the bolt and screw it in. make sure the bolt is short so it does not interfere with any moving parts.
