Here are the pics of the PML cover installed. Plenty of room. The swaybar and the panhard bar move with the rear axle and will not get closer than when sitting at ride height.

You must remove the swaybar and it would be easier if you remove the panhard bar. I just zipped out the four bolts that hold the swaybar on with an air gun and left it hanging and I didn't remove the panhard bar, but it is a lot easier if you do.

Keg, do you have the brand name, and part number of your cover handy...? And what did you pay for it..?

I may try this cover, has the look I'm after, and they seem to know about clearance issues.

A word of caution to the installer I vehicle owner:

The Mag-Hytec cover is designed to fit the factory Dodge axles as supplied as original equipment. However, in some applications, or because of the use of certain factory options and/or after market equipment, there may be clearance problems between your Mag-
Hytec cover and other vehicle systems (specifically some rear sway bars). It may be necessary to install spacers or shims to lower the
sway bar. It is the responsibility of the vehicle owner/cover installer to ensure that no other vehicle component comes"in contact with


the Mag-Hytec cover. Contact with any vehicle component, or the making of any modification to the Mag-Hytec cover,

automatically voids the warranty. Mag-Hytec assumes no liability, expressed or implied, for damage or injury to persons or property.

The Mag-Hytec units,both for the rear diff and the deep transmission, gave zero clearence issues on my 09, and have been performing flawlessly for almost four years now.

Ok, got my cover, and finally got it installed.




When I changed the fluid, I though it was very dirty for 4200 miles. The new fluid looks like honey, that's how clear it is. What do you guys think? Didn't see any metal, no foul odor, just dirty looking fluid.




Also the directions said I would need about 5 quarts to refill this cover. I was going to use the old fluid, well cause it had 4200 miles on it. Didn't think it would look that bad. So I used 2 new quarts, and one old quart, and that put me in between the lines. Not sure where they got the 5 qts at.

I removed the pan hard bar, but left the sway bar hooked up. Had no problem with clearance. The pan hard bar is close, maybe a 1/16", but the sway bar has plenty of clearance.

Dealer fluid $33.50/qt Additive for anti-spin $10.95.

I may have gain a quart in capacity, so all in all I'm happy with it.
