Aftermarket rear diff cover Non raptor

[Hootbro]

Yes, it came with a gasket, the same type of flat gasket the Ford Performance cover uses.

The OEM gasket is reusable if not messed up. I purchased and used a new OEM just in case.

Problem with using the OEM gasket with aftermarket covers and their hardware designed around either a thin flat gasket or RTV, you loose about 5mm of grip length with the attachment fasteners.

May or may not be a factor but will depend on how hard someone wheels their vehicle and smashes on the diff cover.

Agreed. I still had ~1.5x thread OD of thread engagement. If not, I'd get 5mm longer fasteners.

Here is the procedure. (Model year 2025)

Nice! Glad someone posted this. I was about to screenshot my manual once I got home from work.

I'll have to do a separate write-up on this later but ARB covers fit with a little modification.

I reused the stock gasket but basically replaced all the hardware. Probably not worth the hassle if you're buying new but this was a Marketplace steal from a while back.

Also change your rear diff fluid. I've never seen rear diff fluid as black as mine came out after 10K miles.
