Description
The AEV differential cover for HD Rams is truly more than just a pretty face. While the majority of aftermarket differential cover manufacturers produce finned aluminum units to assist in cooling, the AEV cover is built out of nodular iron and designed to take any beating you want to throw at it. And if you've ever taken your Ram offroad, you realize that the front differential cover is the lowest point of contact, meaning it takes the brunt of any abuse from trail obstacles. In most cases, the stock stamped steel cover will buckle if it comes into contact with anything on the trail, causing fluid loss. And the aluminum aftermarket units can easily crack, resulting in the same issue. Besides nodular iron construction, the AEV Ram Differential Cover features a vehicle specific fluid level verification port, placed at the correct level to meet factory specifications for the front axle, eliminating the need to guess on oil levels or use a dipstick to figure out the correct amount of oil. For added convenience, this Differential Cover utilizes AEV's oversized fill port located on the top of the cover. This fill port not only allows you to easily add fluid in the field if axle repairs are necessary, but also doubles as an inspection port, allowing the user to see inside the differential, inspect ring gear teeth, look for water intrusion and even use a dial indicator to inspect for problems without ever removing the cover. This is not just a pretty aluminum show piece - this is serious front axle protection for the people who need it most! Please Note: This differential cover is designed to work with AEV DualSport Suspension Systems which moves the front axle forward, as well as stock configurations.

About AEV | American Expedition Vehicles

American Expedition Vehicles (AEV), based out of Missoula, Montana, has been building custom vehicles designed to tackle the rigors of off-roading, overlanding, and general day to day commuting since 1997. AEV originally gained a substantial amount of publicity with their line of stretched Jeeps that dds a pickup-style bed behind the cab area, creating a highly functional and visually appealing work of art. This unique upgrade melded with additional suspension and powertrain upgrades from AEV has created a vehicle that many would argue should have been available from the factory.

With the Jeep market cornered, American Expedition Vehicles unveiled its lineup for the Ram Heavy Duty market in 2014, dubbing this new application the Prospector. The Prospector has taken the same approach that AEV has always taken, to produce products that serve a functional purpose and design and build these products to a standard that exceed even OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing) standards. With the original unveiling of the Prospector at the SEMA Show in 2014, AEV has gained and continued to build on the notoriety they have had for years in the Jeep market, but now within the Ram HD community. While its true there are numerous other companies producing wheels, bumpers, and suspension systems for this application, you would be hard pressed to find another company that does it with the amount of finesse as AEV. And even more difficult, a company that has built all of their components to work in harmony with one another, but work just as well when used as individual components.

We at Diesel Power Products are extremely proud to have the opportunity to be labeled as an Authorized Dealer of AEV products because we know that without a doubt, we can confidently recommend their products because they truly perform as advertised, and fit like they came from the factory. Does the fact that they have a manufacturing headquarters in Detroit, Michigan just down the road from the automakers have anything to do with that? Probably, but we'll let the product speak for itself.
