[QUOTE="Ruger, post: 1239533, member: 1594"] There WAS a great write-up posted in June 2014 about the replacement of the factory differential cover with a Mag-Hytec cover. I wrote it and now I can't find it. You don't need to jack up the truck, but you will need to dismount the spare tire. The hardest part is removing the factory cover because it's glued/sealed onto the differential with the most tenacious gasket compound I've ever encountered. I removed all the screws and pounded on that cover with every applicable tool I had and in every way possible, and it still wouldn't budge. I had to resort to the very careful use of a chisel, employing it in a way that I hoped would do minimal damage to the mounting surface on the differential, and even that was challenging. I don't know what Ford uses for gasket sealant in that application, but Gorilla Glue has nothing on them. [/QUOTE]
