aFe POWER Street Series Rear Differential Cover – Raw with Machined Fins for 2015-2023 Ford F-150 (Super 8.8 Rear Axle)

Part Number: 46-71180A

Upgrade the rear differential with the aFe POWER Street Series Rear Differential Cover, engineered to provide superior protection, improved cooling efficiency, and long-lasting durability for Ford F-150 trucks equipped with the Super 8.8 rear axle. Constructed from premium cast aluminum, this high-performance differential cover increases gear oil capacity while utilizing integrated internal and external cooling fins to help reduce operating temperatures during towing, hauling, off-road driving, and daily use.

Finished in a rugged raw aluminum appearance with precision-machined fins, this differential cover delivers both functional performance and an aggressive performance-inspired look for enthusiasts seeking enhanced drivetrain reliability.
