Learned something new . When I had her on the lift yesterday I noticed the rear diff cover was not the standard stamped steel . A little internet sleuthing determined I have a " girdle style " cover . From what I have read they help strengthen the rear diff . There are externally adjustable bolts that can be set to place pressure on the bearing caps . Supposedly lowers or eliminates the chance of movement under load .
I have no clue how well it works but it's installed and staying . It also has fill and drain plugs and adds some capacity . Being aluminum it might cool better also .
Similar to this one .
