[QUOTE="zemuron99, post: 1369588, member: 26516"] Well, Gale's credentials are unimpeachable for sure. Interesting series, I especially liked the parts with the clear covers. I'd often wondered just what goes on in there. The flat-back cover demo was eye-opening for sure. I do wonder though, w/out eyeballing it for ourselves (or for himself) if the contention about starving the ring-pinion interface and/or pinion bearings really holds true. The lube aeration is pretty evident though, and is going to degrade lube performance. So...I've ordered the Ford performance cover, and when it arrives I'll compare them side-by-side to see which I prefer. I do like the looks of the Ford cover for sure. Couple of other comments I've read critiquing the Banks videos mention 'thousands' of hot-shot truckers using stock covers who don't burn out rears, but there sure are some who have, as well as some heavy RV'ers. There's also a smaller number using aftermarket covers who haven't had any issues either (which I why I question the 'starvation' hypothesis). Anyway...the AFE unit is still sitting in the garage, just waiting for the Ford unit to arrive (ordered Sat 6/22) later this week. Just outta curiosity, has anyone installed an AFE (or similar) cover AND the Hellwig anti-sway bar? Will they both fit? That may be another issue that pushes me towards the Ford Performance cover...
