Key Features

This front differential cover integrates advanced design elements and high-quality materials to deliver lasting performance and protection:

• Constructed from durable cast aluminum for superior strength and corrosion resistance
• Reinforced ribs and machined cooling fins increase structural integrity and improve heat dissipation
• Approximately 2-quart fluid capacity, matching factory specifications for proper lubrication
• Built-in internal and external fins transfer heat efficiently from differential fluid to ambient air
• Magnetic drain plug captures metal particles, preventing contamination and extending differential life
• 1/8" NPT calibration plug preset to factory fluid level to prevent accidental overfilling
• Includes all necessary hardware for straightforward installation
• Raw finish offers a clean, rugged look suitable for custom paint or powder coating

Construction & Design

The aFe Power Pro Series differential cover is precision cast from high-grade aluminum, chosen for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to rust and corrosion. The cover’s design features reinforced ribs that add rigidity to withstand impacts and rough terrain encountered during off-road driving. Machined cooling fins on both the interior and exterior surfaces maximize heat transfer, helping to maintain optimal fluid temperatures and prevent overheating under demanding conditions.

Attention to detail is evident in the inclusion of a magnetic drain plug, which traps metal shavings and debris circulating in the differential fluid, thereby protecting gears and bearings from premature wear. The calibration plug ensures the fluid level is maintained exactly at factory specifications, eliminating guesswork during maintenance.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the aFe Power Pro Series M210 Front Differential Cover is designed to be simple and hassle-free. The cover fits directly onto the Dana M210 12-bolt front axles of 2018–2026 Jeep Wrangler JL and 2020–2025 Gladiator JT Rubicon models without any modifications. All required mounting hardware is included, allowing for a straightforward bolt-on upgrade using common hand tools. This makes it an excellent choice for DIY enthusiasts and professional installers alike.
