Mag-Hytec Front Differential Cover for 2003-2012 Dodge Ram 2500 & 3500: Standard Diesel, High Output, and Gas Engines with 14-9.25 Axle Review

Not suitable for standard height and Carli cross member (see illustration). Currently installing a 2" front alignment kit to fix the steering rack issue (major loss of material on the upper right diff cover). It was my fault for not cutting the threads on the steering stabilizer bolt (lower left deep scratch).

Haven't used the dipstick or drain plug but looks good, feels good and is heavy. The new screws were more difficult to insert than the old ones.

I converted an 06 2500 to a full tie rod to cure the wobble of death. I removed my old pan and installed Mag Hytech with no gasket to check the gaps, they didn't fit. I grounded and rechecked the U-bolts, they still didn't fit the correct spacing. The docs say to turn the steering damper down, but in my opinion it's a bad idea to mess around with the alignment of a damper that's designed to prevent fatal wobble at all times! Until they announce that the item has been recycled, don't buy into a…
