Yukon Hardcore Diff Cover for Dana 44

This was installed on a 88 C-1500 truck. It’s well make so durability should be good, easy installation, the thickness is crazy and excellent value for your money and so far it has no leakage. Definitely recommend this item.

Fit and finish is amazing. Comes with magnetic drain plug and should help keep case solid.

The only issue that I will start by noting is that I had to go somewhere other than Amazon to buy mine because if I didn’t have bad luck with my purchases then I wouldn’t have any luck at all. But moving on, these bad boys are the most hardcore, high performance, high durability, great looking differential covers that money can buy! I originally bought a Rancho RockGear diff. cover but the only thing you’ll save on between the two options is weight, and that’s because the Rancho diff. cover is only as thick as a piece of construction paper. The Yukon covers are thick, durable, engineered perfectly, and built to last! I’ve now got less noise out of my axles and know that they’re protected on the trails. The fill holes are perfectly placed, nothing leaks as long as you use a new gasket during installation, and the magnetic plugs are an added feature that I truly love as well. They are pricey but if you take your rig anywhere that those covers might get hit, then it’s still going to be cheaper than buying a whole new diff!

I have a 1984 Chevy K10 that I upgraded the axles from 1/2 ton to the 3/4 ton using the axles from a 1980 K20 3/4 ton, and thanks to the review left by HAMMOND I was able to purchase this cover and adapt it to my K20 10 bolt front axle. I was in the same boat he was, as I had purchase the Yukon cover for my 14 bolt rear and loved the look. Searched for one to match for the front and they didn’t make a cover for my 10 bolt front. With his review I was also able to make both my axels match with this these awesome Yukon covers. Just had to shave a little bit off the passenger side, and drill/tap one 5/16 bolt. It wasn’t hard to do and looks great.

These are awesome! Heavy and solid asf. Highly recommend

Cover is great and fits perfect. Only issue was with the hardware quality control. One bolt looks like it was made at 4:00 on a Friday.

I am not a mechanic and have only recently started servicing my own Jeep. Changing the differential fluid was recommended by the dealership, along with other maintenance. I was quoted a total price that was stupidly high, so I decided to look into doing it myself. Thank you YouTube for your videos on shock absorbers, brake rotors and pads, cold air intakes, tire selection, rock rails and differentials. I am still not a mechanic, but I do have bragging rights. From what I read and watched, there is an engineering advantage to specific designs of differential covers. The more internal seams and bars, the less the fluid can naturally circulate with gear movement. There are also advantages to having drain/fill plus located strategically. The Yukon Dana44 has a smooth internal design, and has two drain ports; one at the bottom of the cover that you can't really see in pictures, and the bottom of two ports on the front (you see them both in all pictures). So there are total of three magnetized drain plugs. I also bought the Yukon Dana30 for the front and it did not have the drain on the bottom, so each cover has its own unique design. The cover is mighty thick and strong as hell. I wanted to update the covers from stock for 4 reasons: (1) I was cleaning the gears and replacing oil anyhow after far too many miles w/o servicing (2) I was concerned that the OEM cover could catch a rock and the lip roll back, spilling differential oil (3) The Amazon price was lower than anywhere else and I wanted to buy at that price (4) It is a badass upgrade It is true that there were no instructions for torquing the bolts, but I am not subtracting stars. Nor am I subtracting for the PIA of tightening two particular recessed bolts that were blocked by a track arm. Would have been easier to get to them with a ratcheting wrench, but the recessed hex bolts do have their obvious advantage. I paired the two Yukon covers with Lube lockers as opposed to RTV for gasket seals, so I used the torque settings of the Lube Lockers as recommended by others. I like the idea of colored cover that really catches the eye, and there are several awesome options, but I didn't think the extra $$$ was really worthwhile. The Yukon Dana44 cover was more expensive than some others, but significantly less than many others too. For the price, I got all of the engineering upgrades of the more expensive products, but paid less. In my book, that qualifies as a good deal. Hope this review helps you enjoy an off-road adventure.

Looks great good quality

Very beefy and strong, highly recommended

Der Deckel ist schwer und Robust. Leider fehlen die Aussparungen für die Befestigung der Bremsleitung, oder entsprechende Distanzhülsen. Außerdem wurden 5/16“ Schrauben geliefert, anstatt 3/8“ Schrauben. Also zusätzlich noch Distanzhülsen und die passenden Schrauben besorgen.

Heavy duty quality and perfect fit I did not use the provided Allen bolts but replaced them for hex as that’s my personal preference.

Magnífica pieza. Absolutamente recomendable. Robusta y a la vez con un acabado hermoso. Muy satisfecho con la compra

Its a Beast! 16lbs of cast steel, with bolts and magnetic plugs. If this thing breaks, everything else will be broken, worth it!
