Artec Hardcore Diff Cover for Dana 50, Dana 60 & Dana 70

The Artec Hardcore Diff Cover for the Dana 50, Dana 60, and Dana 70 is cast heavy for one reason: to keep your third member alive when the trail turns to rock. Where a stamped-steel or cast-aluminum cover flexes or cracks on a direct hit, this nodular-iron cover shrugs it off, protecting the ring and pinion, carrier, and locker on 1-ton axles. It fits both standard- and reverse-rotation housings, so it works across a wide range of full-size and swapped axle builds.

Key Features

• Cast from high-strength nodular iron to survive extreme impacts
• Thick-walled design adds real armor over the ring gear and carrier
• Magnetic drain plug pulls metal shavings out of the gear oil at every service
• Durable powder-coat finish resists rust and trail abrasion
• Supplied with high-strength steel fasteners
• Fits both standard- and reverse-rotation differentials

Fitment & Compatibility

Designed for Dana 50, Dana 60, and Dana 70 differentials in both standard- and reverse-rotation configurations. This makes it a strong choice for full-size trucks and for Jeep and buggy builds running a 1-ton Dana 60 front or rear. Confirm your axle's bolt pattern and rotation before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which axles does this cover fit?
It fits Dana 50, Dana 60, and Dana 70 differentials, in both standard- and reverse-rotation configurations.

What is it made of?
It is cast from high-strength nodular iron with thick walls, which absorbs rock impacts far better than a stamped-steel or cast-aluminum cover.

Does it come with a drain plug?
Yes. It includes a magnetic drain plug that captures metal debris from the gear oil, making fluid changes cleaner and easier to monitor.

Does it require any welding or fabrication?
No. It is a bolt-on cover that installs with the included high-strength fasteners — no cutting or welding needed.
