Diff cover shootout

Good article rating a bunch of diff covers; Solid, Riddler, Crane and others. Rated on how bulletproof they are... literally they took different guns and tried to shoot holes thru them

some may not be available for us , but thought it was a cool article.

that's pretty funny actually

some of those fared better due to the shape rather than the material but hey.. funny none the less, a bit of differential comic relief

I have been looking for a Liberty rear axle diff cover for a long time; hopefully one that is very strong, and has both fill and drain holes. Ideally, the fill hole would have a dipstick and the drain plug would have a magnet, much like the Mag-Hytek diff covers, but of course much stronger.

Which one of the manufacturers tested in the shootout have something I am looking for. My axle is a Chrysler 8.25".
