Construction & Design

BD Diesel’s front diff cover is precision cast from high-quality aluminum, chosen for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion. The design incorporates both internal and external fins that maximize heat dissipation, helping to maintain optimal operating temperatures during heavy-duty use or extended off-road driving. The curved profile not only adds a modern, aggressive look but also provides structural rigidity to protect the differential housing from impacts and debris.

Stainless steel hardware and plugs resist rust and ensure long-term durability, while the magnetic drain plug is strategically positioned to attract and hold metal shavings suspended in the differential fluid, reducing wear on gears and bearings.

No modifications are required, and the included stainless steel bolts ensure a secure fit. The separate fill and drain ports simplify fluid changes, making routine maintenance easier and cleaner.

This cover is compatible with aftermarket track bars, allowing it to integrate seamlessly with common suspension upgrades without interference.
