Thanks guys.

Just curious how you know?

Do the Ram's come with diff diff sizes? My buddy has an F-150 and I have noticed that they come with a few diff size diffs.

Will this work? its 9.25 and 12 bolt? but it says up to 06 and I have an 07

All 3rd Gen 1500s use the same rear differential except MegaCabs...

Just for future reference.

10 bolt cover = 8.25
12 bolt cover = 9.25

As a general rule, there's a sticker inside the glove compartment as to the size rear diff but may not be there in all cases.

That cover will work fine. Just as an FYI that is similar to a PML cover or Mag-Hytech if your looking for additional options.
