This PML front differential cover for Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks is designed to provide clearance for the u-bolts and the suspension interference found on our other cover and other aftermarket covers.

This PML cover is on the left and the stock differential cover from a 2007 Ram 2500 Mega cab is on the right.

The PML cover follows the contour of the stock cover to maintain clearance. The fin-free left side prevents interference with the u-bolt.

This part is similar to part# 10740. If your truck is lifted or you do not have any clearance issues, you can use 10740.

Part number 10740 is shown on the left and this part, number 11118, is on the right.

This differential cover has oil fill/level check and drain holes to make it easy to follow the 15K oil change interval that Dodge specifies for the AAM axles used in 2003 and newer Ram 2500 & 3500 trucks.

PML makes a matching rear end cover for these Ram trucks. Please see the AAM 10.5" ring gear, 14 bolt cover or the AAM 11.5" ring gear, 14 bolt cover.

This part has an undrilled boss for a temperature sensor. The option to have PML drill and tap the boss will need to be ordered over the phone, not on-line.

This American Axle differential is found on 2003 and newer Dodge Ram 2500, 3500 and 1500 Mega Cab trucks. The PML cover is larger than the stock cover so please check your truck carefully to make sure you have space for a larger cover. Reference the dimensions in the above link.
