Default Looking for a rear diff cover.

I got a 2013 1500 Express 5.7 hemi. It has a DRNS 245MM rear axle it also has the DSA anti spin diff. I am looking for a rear diff cover like this.

What is this axle? Is it some kind of a dana series axle?
I'm finding diesel, or older covers only, nothing for a 2013. Thanks.

The pic you uploaded looks like it is a AFEpower product

This is for the chrysler 10.5 axle

Thanks you for the links. Is that what my axle is, a 10.5? The only thing I can find is that is a 245 MM. Converted comes to, 245 millimeters = 9.64566929 inches. Thanks again.

If you can, snap some pics of your rear diff and post them in here.
Also, if you have your window sticker, pic & post as well too.

The DRNS 245 mm is the code for the ZF axle.

Yep, you have the standard ZF manufactured axle, and no, its not a dana. ZF and dana are 2 different company`s.
The ZF axle company is a vendor that is building the differentials for chrysler.

Just my two cents on a trick cover with a purpose:Almost immediately afer the purchase of my 09, i bought a mag-hytec cover with a quart increased capacity and it looks similar to the one you posted, 90 k no leaks, a drain plug,both dealers ive used between Ny and Nevada have praised it, and no diff issues to date, maybe the extra capacity is what these diffs need?Great product.Ialso use the deep mag-hytec tranny pan.Now watch tomorrow my drivveshaft fall out from me opening my big mouth,lol.
