Diff cover swap out for around $160

Yes. I put the vent on the new cover, and the plug in the axle. The vent is not very long at all, so to be safe I cut the bolt with a hacksaw and cleaned up the threads.

let us know if the vent pukes more or less out of that location. if it's still puking, I highly recommend Alex's breather mod in the how to section.

I'll keep an eye on it. My '68 mustang has a vent hose that's mounted up high under the body...I wonder why/when Ford decided to change this???

Anyone have the original Ford part number for this cover so I can hit up the local/online dealerships?

Thanks!

It's the same as the 13 track pack. I noticed the 12 boss doesn't have the fill and drain plugs.

Diff cover: http://www.fordpartsgiant.com/
DR3Z-4033-A. ARP bolts (need 2 packs of 5): 651-1250. Vent cover plug: 7/16 20 bolt.

let's go back to page 1.
