Mag-Hytec Heavy-Duty Differential Cover – Ford F-250 / F-350 Super Duty

Improve differential maintenance and support heat management with the Mag-Hytec Heavy-Duty Rear Differential Cover, designed for compatible Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks equipped with the Sterling 10.25-inch or 10.5-inch rear axle.

Manufactured from high-quality cast aluminum, this upgraded differential cover features external cooling fins, increased lubricant capacity and convenient service features. It is designed for truck owners who want a durable replacement cover that makes routine differential fluid checks and changes easier.

Key Features and Benefits

Heavy-Duty Cast Aluminum Construction

Built from cast aluminum with a finned exterior, the Mag-Hytec differential cover provides a durable alternative to a conventional stamped-steel cover. Its reinforced design and textured finish deliver a functional upgrade with a distinctive appearance.

Enhanced Heat Dissipation

The external cooling fins increase the surface area available for heat transfer. Combined with the increased lubricant capacity, this design helps manage differential operating temperatures, particularly during demanding driving and towing conditions.

Increased Differential Fluid Capacity

The cover accommodates approximately 6 quarts of differential lubricant, subject to the correct application and installation requirements. The additional capacity can support temperature management under demanding operating conditions.

Magnetic Drain Plug and Dipstick

The integrated magnetic drain plug helps collect ferrous wear particles from the lubricant. The magnetic dipstick provides a convenient way to check fluid levels and helps simplify routine maintenance.

Convenient Fluid Servicing

The drain plug and dipstick allow easier access for routine servicing without requiring removal of the entire differential cover for every fluid check or fluid change.

O-Ring Sealing System

The cover uses an O-ring sealing arrangement designed to provide a reliable seal without conventional gasket material or liquid sealant when correctly installed on a compatible, properly prepared housing.

Quality Installation Hardware

The application-specific kit includes stainless-steel mounting hardware and the required service components listed for the product. Verify the package contents with the supplier before ordering.

Vehicle Compatibility

Designed for compatible Ford Sterling rear axles measuring 10.25 inches or 10.5 inches.

Potential applications include:

• Ford F-250 Super Duty

• Compatible single-rear-wheel (SRW) models

Fitment depends on the exact model year, axle housing, rear-wheel configuration and other vehicle equipment. This cover is intended for compatible Sterling applications and should not be assumed to fit every F-250 or F-350.
