Rear diff cover options for 2019 3500?

[R.Taylor]

It's time for me to do the diff fluids, I figured I'd look around and see what the offerings are for aftermarket covers. For the life of me I can not find a rear cover... Is it a AAM 12". I know I now have to use a friction modifier for the LSD as it's no longer a Torsen type. Is my front still a AAM 9.25? The interwebs show nothing for 2019/2020 Ram 3500's. Thanks for the help!

Everyone stumped here or are there that many 2019+ owners here??.... It's been near 12 hours.

Okay.. I see I still have 9.25 for the front and an 11.5 for the rear as I don't have "Max Tow Package".... MaxTow comes with a AAM 12 and I believe only comes on a DRW. I still see no offerings for 2019+ trucks. I'd figure cause now RAM has a brake line holder and splitter T with mounting plate being "bolted down" by utilizing a few of the diff cover bolts. Looking at mine... I see 2 bolts holding down the plate that fixes the splitter T and another bolt is holding the passenger side line down as it goes over the hump. I'm sure the lawyers for Banks, MagHytek and PML said "No" to offering a rear cover that's sans provisions or hardware for holding critical components that could cause a lawsuit if a failure occurred regardless of an end user agreement/off-road use only cushion.

I**THINK**the 3500 SRW also has the 12" axle.

@R.Taylor

Unless there’s been some changes, and you do indeed have the 11.5”, you should be able to purchase an OE finned style aluminum cover used on the 2013 through 2018 11.8” / 300mm 3500 DRW trucks, OR any aftermarket cover that is available for the 11.5 units, providing you don’t have a sway bar interfering.

Lots of times.....aftermarket companies are simply slow to update their listings of products availability.

Every 2019+ that I have paid any attention to has the 12” axle.

Call Banks and see if there new cover will work for your truck.

 

[R.Taylor]

Yep..... I have an AAM 12. Sounds like it is what both 2019+ 2500/3500 trucks come with. Looks like the only offering at the moment is from PML and... They have provisions for the brake line bracket and such.

Thanks for the info. looks like a good cover, I like the drain plug. price is fair.

PML is a great cover, I had it in the past and the craftsmanship was excellent.

I never saw the price.......
Not very impressive with only .25 to .50 quarts additionally over stock.
On the other hand.....I do like my PML pan for my AS69RC.

I don't recall seeing the new 12" with an OEM finned cover... is it not needed with the heavier fluid?

I ran a MH on my 05, but have not been able to convince myself I need it on my 18.

I had MH on the 05 and 06.... Did not own the 18 long enough to do it... The 19 is due for diff oil so I figured I'd do a cover even though it's 90% eye candy.

Speaking of candy..... Trying to talk the wife into a 1500 TRX Launch Edition
