Hats off to PML Transmission & Rear End Covers

[john3976]

My hat is off to PML for the quality transmission and rear end covers they sell.



I just changed out my stock transmission pan and rear end cover for the PML Aluminum covers and what a nice product, every thing fit perfect and no drips no runs no errors, I am impressed.



Good job PML!

What, no picture!? I really want to get a set of these, but other priorities keep taking precedent.

Does the diff cover have a drain plug?

Does the diff cover have a drain plug?

Yes it is on the bottom and it has a magnet in the drain plug as well. The cover has three plugs, one on top to use for filling, one on the side that is used as the fill level and the one on the bottom to drain the pumpkin.



Look close at the picture on the right top you should see the top plug on the right side you will see the middle plug and on the right side of the bottom.



Very nice unit.

My PML went on really nice too. .

I agree, I just installed the front yesterday.



Mag Hi Tec is losing allot of business!!!

I like the Mag-Hytec but was leary of them deleting the top and bottom bolt holes on the cover. I figure AAM put them there for a reason, I also like the stock gasket better then the O-Ring gasket used by Mag Hy-Tec.



I do like the Mag-Hytec dip stick, that is a very nice item to have.



Other then that the Mag-Hytec looks real cool on a truck.



The PML pans look good unpainted or painted to me.



Either one is a good cover, maybe PML will force Mag-Hytec to have to lower their price on their pans. I would buy the PML pan and cover again as the quality is top notch.

LesStallings,



We really like the cast aluminun look for two reasons, one it cools the fluids a lot better than a cover that is powder coated as powder coating is a very good insulator, plus they show up more in the dark underneath of the truck if you want to show it off. They are clear anodized by the way so keeping them clean is easy etc! To date we have had 100% excellent customer response with the PML products, plus these covers and pans are their main business and because of that they are very fast about getting new appliactions built. As an example the front diff on the new trucks was out in a month or two, then there needed to be a rework on it because DC made some minor changes, within 60 days the new part #10740 was available and the fit is perfect!! By the way if you want them polished or black powder coated they are available that way, we just always want customers to know that they are going to retain more fluid heat if you do it that way!!

I'm getting the final inspections on my "barn" (garage/shop) this week and hopefully I will be able to get some of the mods going on the truck instead of working on the building.



Mark, I will be stoping by in the next few weeks. PML is on the list!

i want that garage

 

[1Tufdsl]

i want that garage

Me too!! I guess I have barn envy!

 

[rbattelle]

Now THAT's a barn!



-Ryan

 

[LesStallings]

It's only 2,500 square feet, 14' ceiling, with the front third walled off so I don't let all the heat/AC escape when going in or out. The 10'x10' center door is repeated on the interior dividing wall and lines up with the 4-post lift. 6 ton HVAC, 110V and 220V outlets everywhere.



I went to work every day for 40 years to be able to build the "barn". Retired at 50, now the fun begins!!



(Barn envy is a terrible thing!)

The more and more I look at the PML products, the more I prefer them over the Mag Hytec product.

The cover has three plugs, one on top to use for filling, one on the side that is used as the fill level and the one on the bottom to drain the pumpkin.

Is the fill level hole at the right height to fill the diff properly, or do we still have to fill below the level of the hole like on the stock covers?



Les,

I can't wait to see the mods on your truck that come out of that barn!!

I filled mine right up to the hole on the right side, 5 quarts of Royal Purple was just enough to reach the hole without spilling any out the hole, if you look at the picture of the red cover in this thread you can see the plug in the middle is about even with the bottom of the axle tubes.
