Aluminum Diff Cover ?'s

[1TonTom]

I have a Sterling 10.5 and am gonna get a Rear Diff cover for it, I have had a couple of people tell me that they like to get hot... My question is are aluminum diff covers like the G2 really strong enough offroad?..

depends on how they're made, and how hard you're smacking them I suppose.

As far as I know, Sterlings aren't burning up because they get too hot.

I had an aluminum 10.5 finned cover for sale a while back. Search for the pic. It was incredibly stout.
That axle is a beast.

I would worry about breaking the cover before worrying about it overheating...

I'm pretty stoked about my setup, it will probably just get a "Solid" Cover $70 from poly performance best deal out there.

Bingo I wanna see how tough a Aluminum diff cover really is we need someone to beat the crap outta one with a trackhoe like the Riddler guy's did.

You can get a factory ford aluminium diff cover for 60 bucks or so. They were used late 2000. I have on on my powerstroke. No idea how tough it is.

Im not fond of aluminum diff covers looks great on the street but for offroad i bent one pretty bad and broke a ring gear,since i have put on a Solid diff cover very heavy duty and looks good too and all for $64
