so is it possible to replace the diff cover without dropping the pumpkin completely out? no one seems to have a decisive answer to this question. my car is on ramps in the driveway and i cant get the cover off!!

Yeah just looked in the garage and had some spots and it's coming from the diff cover. I guess I'm somewhat relieved that so many people have had this problem, but still doesn't help with $$ part lol. I got 7900 miles on it now with the mods and hp in my sig.
So LPW is a good bang for the buck? Planning on going 15-17lbs on a 2.6 KB in the future and hope to be high 500s rwhp maybe crack 600 if i'm lucky :banana:...LPW still and okay choice for that power level? I'm kind of like the OP and don't want to go the cheap route where I'll have to go back over it time and time again, but don't want too much overkill which typically comes with a lot more $$$. Thanks in advance to any answers :burnout:
OP I feel your pain!
So is the reason we (03/04 cobra owners) have almost all had rear diff leak is from the power these cars make that is putting additional stress on the rear covers? Or do all 8.8 rears have this problem. I have two buddies with 04 Mach 1s (both modded a bit intake, tune, exhaust) and they have both had their rear diff leak on them.
I just tore my whole pumpkin out, cleaned it up properly, put a brace on and torqued the cap back on and its leaking immediately again.
^wow that sucks,you may have a cracked cover or leaking seal.
What fluid does the diff take?
