Just wondering if anyone added magnets to the RL diff covers when installing to collect metal shavings? If so what kind of magnet did you use?

Maybe check int he 4x4 section or the homebrew fab section. it's not something I havent heard of.... at least I have heard of a magnetic engine plug... I don't see why it woldn't work, unless the diff cover was aluminum, then it wouldn't stick (the magnet to the cover).

Metal shavings? Hmm..... you must get those from running an inferior gear oil? I'm Not familiar with that.

I imagine any decent magnet you can get at a hardware store would work fine for the purpose. Just make sure it is in a spot that won't interfere w/ moving parts. I don't think it is really neccessary though.

Or, buy some Amsoil Severe Gear and don't worry about metal shavings.

No need to.....there is a magnetic plate built into the bottom of the diff housing. Just make sure you clean this magnet when you install a drainable cover as hopefully you won't have the cover off for a long time. There was a lot of cuttings on the magnet when I installed a PML cover at 12K.
