Because there is little clearance, removing the stock cover is difficult. The drain on the PML drain hole simplifies future fluid changes and servicing. Magnetic drain plug is provided.
This PML cover includes differential cover, vent fitting, bolts, fill hole plug and magnetic drain plug.
Installation Note: Installing the larger PML cover can be challenging. There is very little space. In many cases, you will need to temporarily remove the steering rack lock nut and washer. This may also be required when servicing the differential with the stock cover. See INSTALLATIONS for pictures.
Durango Owners: Durango vehicles have had clearance issues and made modifications steering rack cylinder bolt to increase clearance.
