i am looking to buy a new girdle with a drain plug. i am not sure which one to buy. if they are all about the same, i will just get the cheapest one. i know there is TA, slp, and mac. i am sure there are more but thats just what comes to my head right now. where is the best place to purchase these from and which one is recomended? thanks

 

I was wondering the same thing. Do you all think they are worth it if so which one?

 

Mac, SLP, TA Performance, Summit and I think Jegs all carry a rearend cover. They're all pretty much the same. There really isn't much room to make them different so it's best to just go with the cheapest one you find.

I use a cover myself. It was a very easy and quick install. I didn't use any Sealant- only a Felpro gasket and still have no leaks. Whether or not it adds enough extra protection to justify the $130+ it costs is debatable.

 

I went with summit, looks good, nice quality. I have had this on over a year with no problems and the drain plug makes things alot easier back there. I little pricy for $150 however. I am sure you can find a second hand one for cheaper from a board member, ebay, etc. They all seem to provide the same features.

 

I got mine used very cheap. But in theory they should really help a lot. By supporting your bearings you won't get the deflection allowing the teeth to walk and break off. In an engineering machinery design course one of the most important concepts that they teach is minimizing deflections. I guess your right though, it is debateable because we don't know how much the flex in the stock one contributes to it breaking, It's not gonna hurt though!

I have the TA performance one. As stated above, get whichever one is cheapest.

 

well, the slp unit seems the cheapest. where can i get that one from? also, is that bolt worth buying? thanks

 

SLP AAM alum diff cover is nice. drain plug is nice too $89

 

where can you get that for $89? also, what is the AAM stand for?
