That should be fine since it's listed as a low profile cover.

Bad news. There was nice size chunk of metal sitting in the oil in the bottom of the diferential. A part of one of the teeth on the spider gears cracked off. I guess its time to go for a Detroit Tru-Trac before the whole thing detonates. Anyone have opinions and also what gear oil do you use with those?

I have an Auburn Pro carrier with FRPP 4.10s and Moser axles.

That's the cover I was supposed to get when I got my gears changed out. But they "forgot" so I still have the stock cover. (I had a lot of work going on at that time). Oh well, saved me some $$$, but it sure is a pretty cover.
