Add More Durability to your HD GM Truck with PPE

If you're looking to give your front differential a serious upgrade, the PPE Heavy Duty Cast Aluminum Front Differential Cover is built to deliver impressive durability and cooling performance. Designed for 2011–2025 Silverado and Sierra 2500HD/3500HD trucks, this cover is more than just a cosmetic piece—it's engineered to protect your differential under heavy loads and high-heat conditions, whether you're towing, off-roading, or daily driving with a little extra weight on the axle. What really sets this cover apart is its massive cooling fin design, inside and out. PPE has packed it with the largest set of cast fins in the industry, helping to draw heat away from the fluid more efficiently than the factory stamped steel cover. It also holds an extra three-quarter quart of fluid, giving your front diff a little more thermal buffer on long hauls and during hard pulls. The added capacity and improved cooling help extend fluid life and reduce wear on critical components.

Premium Aluminum Construction with Magnetic Fill Plug

To keep things clean inside the housing, PPE includes a high-powered Neodymium magnetic fill plug that pulls metallic particles from the oil before they can cycle through your gears and bearings. It also comes with a 1/8-inch stainless port for a temp sensor, making it easy to monitor your fluid temps if you're running gauges. Install is straightforward and uses the factory reusable gasket, so there’s no need to mess with RTV or custom seals. The cover itself is cast from A356.0-T6 heat-treated aluminum, giving it excellent strength without adding unnecessary weight. It’s finished in a clean brushed aluminum look that pairs well with both stock and modified undercarriages. Included zinc-plated hardware rounds out the package, making this a complete bolt-on upgrade that’s both functional and good-looking.
