If you want a nice looking 8.8 differential cover for cheap,get one from a newer Mercury Marquis or Crown Vic ("newer" meaning the last 10 years).They have aluminum covers.I grabbed one and started polishing it.The yard didn't even charge me for it.It's a stamped aluminum piece,but it'll look nice.I may upgrade to a differential girdle one day,but for free,can't beat it.I have a cast iron "Rock Crusher" rear cover now.It's heavy with webbing.It's from a company in Australia that makes them for rock crawlers.It does look cool,though.
I try not to look under my car... Everything under there except for the exhaust system and U joints is 100% OEM Ford...
Anyway IF I go out and rob the one off the wifes '07 Grand Marquis, she may get pissed...
If she catches you, just tell her the gasket was leaking so you're changing it. ;)
Good one or 50resto has some brand new for $20
Yes,but are they aluminum?
