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

$211.99


The Artec Hardcore Diff Cover for the Dana 50, Dana 60, and Dana 70 is cast heavy for one job: keeping a 1-ton third member alive when the trail turns to rock. Where stamped-steel and cast-aluminum covers flex or crack on a direct hit, this thick-wall nodular-iron casting shrugs it off and keeps the ring-and-pinion, carrier, and locker sealed. It fits both standard- and reverse-rotation housings, which makes it at home under full-size trucks and under Jeep or buggy builds running swapped 1-ton axles.

Features

  • Cast from high-strength nodular iron to survive extreme impacts
  • Thick-wall design adds real armor over the large ring gear and carrier
  • Fits Dana 50, 60, and 70 in standard- and reverse-rotation configurations
  • Magnetic drain plug pulls metal shavings out of the gear oil at every service
  • Powder-coat finish resists rust and trail abrasion
  • High-strength steel fasteners included; bolt-on, no cutting or welding

Confirm your axle's cover-bolt pattern and rotation before ordering — one casting covers all three axles, but verifying fitment up front saves a return. Running a GM rear behind that 60 front? See the GM14T Hardcore cover, or the Dana 44 version for lighter axles. Browse all diff covers and axle reinforcements to finish the build.

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

Which axles does this cover fit?

It fits Dana 50, Dana 60, and Dana 70 differentials in both standard- and reverse-rotation configurations. That covers most full-size truck axles and the 1-ton front and rear swaps common under Jeep and buggy builds. Confirm your cover-bolt pattern and rotation before ordering.

Is any welding or fabrication required?

No. This is a bolt-on cover that installs with the included high-strength steel fasteners. Drain the old fluid, clean the mating flange, seal the cover, torque the bolts evenly, and refill — no cutting or welding anywhere in the job.

What advantage does nodular iron have over aluminum covers?

Cast aluminum can crack on a sharp direct hit, and stamped steel simply folds. Nodular iron combines high strength with enough ductility to absorb impacts without fracturing, so the cover protects the ring gear, carrier, and locker instead of becoming the failure point.
