Cool Rear Differential Cover

Whats up guys I got a 2000 Mustang Gt and when I went in to have my oil changed I noticed my differential was leaking , due to the fact my differential cover was bent! So what I need is a new cover and of course im gonna change the gasket as well. Where is a good place I can order one from I'd prefer the stock one not chrome but that will do as well. As long as it comes with the bolts. I need somewhere reputable and delivers pretty quickly. Thanks in advance.

There are alot to choose from... its what ever looks good basically. Most look the same... Have a Fill and Drain Plug...

I like the MMR one, The T/A one looks pretty sweet. As well as the TF one above.... Id just get the one thats closer to where you live!

I just bought the T/A cover and it is sweet and installed it last weekend. Nice part to bad you can't see it on the car because of gas tank.

Buy an OEM one from a junkyard (I think all Ford 8.8 rears are the same, so anything with a Ford 8.8 rear will do)! It'll cost you like $10, and you can re-use the old bolts (unless one is missing or something).

I bought mine from someone on Corral.net for $16 shipped. Bolted up fine and works great.

I used Permatex RTV Black sealant to make my gasket. Ford recommends some form of RTV gasket, although I have heard people saying that an actual gasket works fine too. RTV is like $6 at an auto parts store, and has a bunch of uses, so I recommend that.

Buy one that at least has a drain and fill. So much easier to change the diff fluid.
