In the end I got this one and now deciding on what gear oil to use, weight 75-90I have 3.55's e Locker with tow package (not max) and have the 9.75 rear end. I got FRPP Cover. it's 12 pounds of iron vs the thin stamped steel and will absorb a lot more heat. Also if you manage to backup and hit something the iron is way more durable. I changed mine rear cover and oil (used AMSOIL 75-110) out with about 2k miles, there was a very fine black particulate in the pumpkin. Use blue shop towels to wipe out inside the pumpkin. When gears first break in from the factory there is acids and metal that get released from the gear set. I was not going to leave it in... Cover also has magnet drain plug to keep the metal out of the oil/gears. If you are going to do it get the LUBE LOCKER gasket! Really nice and they do not leak.
More durable, absorbs more heat, has magnet, makes change easy, wont rust like cheap stamped steel. No way I was going to wear 'dirty underwear' for the first 80k miles of life.
My picture I took!
