clear d44 diff cover

[Desert Thrasher]

Anyone seen the new clear dana 44 diff cover? I think its kinda cool, you can see if your oil is dirty or has water in it. Besides watching gears work is interesting anyways ands its the same price for one of them fancy aluminum covers too. I remember using clear distributor caps in my old vw baja bug, you can watch the spark jumping around it was kinda cool. I wonder if they make clear dist caps for fords?<br>Anyways here is the link, its near the bottom of the page:<br><br>http://www.wildhorses4x4.com/13.asp#diff cover<br>

Very cool but not for me. Kinda pricey. It would help to see what's going on in there though. I bet it would scratch up pretty good in the rocks and even though they banged it with a hammer I still doubt it's strength.

To go along with scratching up on the rocks you should probably purchase one of those D44 rock guards that protect the pumpkin. I would post a pic but I didn't find one fast enough.

Definitely looks pretty cool, but... Like everyone else I also wonder about the durability. Also, if it gets scratched, then the visibility of the fluids and gears gets worse. It is also shouldn't cost $140. It's just a molded piece of plastic. The manufacturing cost on that can't possibly exceed $10.

If they work as good as the dist. caps and clear plug wires and fuel lines it is a expence looking for a place to happen I wouls stay clear of them good old steel works very good and can take a beating. Bill 8) 8) 8)

Thats just not right man. Somethings look too scary when you see them work

Smacking it with a hammer? How does that compare with running your diff into a rock, or coming down on a rock on a trail with the weight of the rig? I think that is a disaster waiting to happen. <br><br>Plus $140??? This is why we say "Dont Smoke Crack!"

Pretty pricey if you ask me <br>

<br><br>I think it would look kule if you just put water in there and a couple of gold fish ;D just don't engage the 4wd

they also don't like gas and such spilling on them

That thing is pretty awesome. I wouldn't pay $140 for one though.

 

[jasondemitri]

those are for the urban wheelers. no worries smacking it on anything if you dont take it off road. im getting one, oh wait.....i think i will just clean my steel one to make it look purty

With me driving I would give it 15 min. All I got to do is look at my steel 1 to figure that out!

I just dont understand how they can even begin to compare a 4000 pound Bronco to a hammer, haha
