Banks Power Ram Air Differential Cover Black Ops
Why you need it
Banks Ram-Air® differential cover extends lubrication life by keeping your fluid cooler, thanks to its superior fluid and aerodynamics. The system cools 5X better than high-capacity aftermarket covers in on-road towing tests. It cools 118% better than competitors in 200 hp 60mph sustained tests.
Patented Forced-Air Cooling Design
Ram-Air scoops force air through heat radiation fins
FlowThru Fins® transfer heat through the cover to the exterior
High velocity air overcomes "dear air zone" behind differential
Perfect Fluid Dynamics
Reduces fluid aeration
Ring gear raceway guides fluid to ring & pinion interface
Fluid guided to axle tubes and bearings
Easier Maintenance
View fluid level through sight glass
Angled fill port
Magnetic drain plug
Retains stock fluid quantity
Increased distance between service intervals
Thoughtfully Engineered
Temp sensor port
O-ring seal, no messy RTV
Maintains stock ground clearance
Ram-Air scoops break away if hit
When it comes to product development, we only make products that increase performance and beat the competition. So when we tested the popular Diff Covers on the market, we were shocked to find out that they actually hurt performance. This lead to the development of something so new and incredible that our performance design has a United States Patent.
Look, when we set out to build a product for your vehicle, we only engineer the best. What else would you expect from a company with a winning legacy that spans decades. We are here to win, and we just did (AGAIN) in a huge way
