Artec Hardcore Diff Cover for Dana 44

The Artec Hardcore Diff Cover for the Dana 44 turns one of the most common trail axles into a much tougher one. Cast from high-strength nodular iron with thick walls, it protects the ring gear, carrier, and any locker or selectable diff from the rock strikes that dent and crack a stamped-steel cover. Because the Dana 44 shows up front and rear across decades of Jeeps and trucks — including TJ and JK Rubicon axles — one cover armors a huge range of builds, and it bolts on with hand tools.

Features

• High-strength nodular-iron casting built for extreme-condition durability
• Thick walls armor the ring gear and carrier against direct impacts
• Fits Dana 44 front and rear, standard and reverse rotation, including disconnect fronts
• Magnetic drain plug captures metal shavings from the gear oil
• Powder-coat finish resists corrosion and abrasion
• High-strength steel fasteners install with 5/16" and 3/8" Allen keys, torqued to 20-30 ft-lbs in a star sequence
• Made in the USA with a 1-year warranty against manufacturer defects

The Dana 44 was built in many configurations, so verify your axle's rotation and cover-bolt pattern before ordering; seal with RTV or a Lube Locker gasket (not included). Note that JL and JT Rubicon axles are the M210/M220 castings with their own covers — see the M210 front and M220 rear versions. Browse the full range of diff covers from Artec Industries.
