Review on Dorman 697 704 Differential Cover Ford by Michael Rosario

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Powder coating on the inside could be a problem but unlikely

Good differential cover. I don't like that the inside is powder coated. If it's granola, you bet it will. There's also a lot of hydraulic pressure and turbulence in the differential, and it can loosen a magnet stuck to the powder coat. So I removed the powder paint inside and the magnet. There aren't as many metal particles in a differential as there are in a manual transmission, so the magnet isn't as useful - it poses very little danger. And I didn't have a band-aid.

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Repair
