This differential cover is a 1 piece plate steel cap 3/8" (0.375") bent eight ways then welded to a 3/8" ring! This is the strongest cover available for your m226 rear axle.
How to tell if you have a m226 or c200 axle. The m226 axle has 12 diff cover mounting bolts. The c200 axle only has 8 bolts holding the diff cover on. This cover does not fit a c200 axle.
From Nissan the diff cover bolt torque spec is: 31ft-lbs (please verify we are not responsible for broken bolts)
We located the fill plug higher on the cover increasing your rear axle's oil capacity thus allowing your gears to run cooler. The fill plug is also a generous 1" inner diameter for easy filling and oil level checks.
After welding the mounting surface is machined absolutely flat for a perfect seal!
The cover arrives in raw steel ready for you to paint it your choice of color.
We now offer you the option to choose which logos you want on your cover. We offer a $10 discount for adding our logo because we like seeing our logo on your rig! Be sure to send us pictures of your cover installed to possibly be featured.
Covers typically ship in ~7 business days directly from RuffStuff. Tracking will be provided once your cover ships.
Don't forget to get your m226 LubeLocker gasket. Gaskets ship separately from the covers.
How to tell if you have a m226 or c200 axle. The m226 axle has 12 diff cover mounting bolts. The c200 axle only has 8 bolts holding the diff cover on. This cover does not fit a c200 axle.
Some customers have been able to fit 3qts of gear oil with this cover. That's a full qt over the OEM cover!
Which means ~50% more oil capacity than the OEM cover.
Fill plug uses a 9/16" hex head for installation and removal. If you do not own this large hex see our picture in this product listing for a neat trick on how to use a bolt head as a hex key. You cover may come with a fill plug that simply uses a 1/2” ratchet driver instead of a hex head.
