Key Features
Engineered for durability and performance, the aFe Power Machined Pro Series Diff Cover includes a range of features designed to protect and enhance your Jeep’s Dana 44 differential:
- Constructed from heavy-duty nodular (ductile) iron for superior strength and impact resistance
- Powder coated gloss black finish with machined cooling fins for improved heat dissipation
- Recessed hardware and smooth design reduce rock hang-up and improve approach and departure angles
- Shrouded magnetic drain plug and 6-inch deep reach magnet capture metal particles to protect internal gears
- Increased fluid capacity helps maintain cooler operating temperatures for extended differential life
- Machined O-ring groove ensures a tight, leak-free seal for reliable performance
- Includes all necessary mounting hardware for straightforward installation
Construction & Design
The differential cover is precision-crafted from nodular iron, a material known for its excellent tensile strength and resistance to cracking under stress. This heavy-duty construction provides a robust shield against rocks, debris, and other trail hazards that can damage the factory cover. The cover’s design features machined cooling fins that increase surface area, promoting better heat dissipation to keep differential fluid temperatures in check during intense off-road use or heavy towing.
The powder coated gloss black finish not only adds corrosion resistance but also enhances the visual appeal of your Jeep’s undercarriage. Recessed hardware and a shrouded drain plug minimize snagging on obstacles, improving your vehicle’s off-road capability by reducing the risk of damage and improving clearance angles.
Installation & Fitment
Installation of the aFe Power Machined Pro Series Diff Cover is straightforward and requires no special modifications. It is designed to be a direct bolt-on replacement for Dana 44 differentials on select Jeep Grand Cherokee and Wrangler models spanning 1997 to 2018. The kit includes all necessary hardware and a machined O-ring groove to ensure a secure, leak-free fit.

What does the Available to Promise date mean?
ETA stands for Estimated Time of Arrival. The date shown is calculated using our Available-to-Promise (ATP) system, which tracks real-time supplier commitments to determine when a product is expected to be available for delivery. Specifically, the date is calculated by adding 9 business days from the date a supplier has committed to ship the product, representing a worst-case scenario for when we can expect to receive inventory.
Please note: The ETA is an estimate, not a guarantee. While we work closely with our suppliers to keep dates as accurate as possible, delays due to shipping carriers, weather, customs, or supplier-side issues may occasionally push the actual arrival beyond the date shown. Likewise, inventory may arrive sooner than the ETA in many cases. If you would like to be notified for when this item arrives, sign up for our back in stock notifications!
