Default How do I figure out which cover to get ??

OK, I'm ready to order both my 4 quart trans pan and a Magna diff cover, but I'm not sure which diff cover it is that I order. Are the rear bolt patterns all the same, or will I need to know specifically which rear I have? If so, how do I tell?

Same questions for the trans pan.

Thanks ...

Here's the trans pan I want to get ...



The "Double Deep" pan has all the same features as the Deep Pan: magnetic drain plug, predrilled 1/8 NPT fitting for a temperature sensor, transmission gasket, and mounting hardware. In addition, with the Double Deep pan, the inside depth of the pan is increased from 3" to 5.25", which adds (up to) another four quarts of fluid capacity to the system. The kit includes spacer hardware to relocate the transmission filter deep into the sump. For those concerned with the pan being too obtrusive, the Double Deep pan is still tucked 1/2" above the truck’s center cross-member of the frame. Fits your stock 727, 518, 47RE or 48RE automatic transmission. Geno’s Garage includes a Mopar transmission replacement filter with your purchase as well.

Here is the diff cover I was looking at.I like the one quart extra part ...



Mag-Hytec has introduced a Dana 60 front differential cover that adds a quart of capacity over the stock cover (up from 3-3.5 quarts stock to 4-4.5 quarts). It is a perfect match in appearance and function to the rear differential covers. Perhaps the most important feature for off-road use of your four wheel drive Turbo Diesel is the angled ramp on the bottom half of the cover, instead of a flat mounting flange. The purpose for this ramp is that if you hit a rock or other obstruction on the trail, the differential will tend to ride up and over it instead of smashing the cover into the gears. Caution: Installation of the cover is just a bit more involved than for the other Mag-Hytec covers. You need to pop the driver’s side tie rod end loose from the steering knuckle to give clearance between the ring gear and the steering rod.

you need to know what axel you have. . .DANA 70 or 80, then you also need to know what trans you have, 47RH maybe

That's cool Mayfair. Make sure you take some before and after pics. Also let us know if you run into any caveats. I am looking to do all 3 pans, but i will let you be the ginney pig.

How can I figure that out? Is it written somewhere, or doI count bolts on the rear or something?

same questions for the trans ...

on the Dana axels there should be a tag that tells what size axel it is and what gears are packed inside. knowing the number of bolt holes doesnt hurt either since the 70 and 80 are very different.

the trans pan may be the same and that is the only way to truly tell by counting the bolts.
