Tech Insight

Crane Axle diff covers are engineered around real-world abuse, not theoretical strength charts. The lipless design eliminates the snag point found on many OEM covers, allowing the housing to slide smoothly over rocks. The 8620 chromoly casting combines a hardened outer shell (impact resistance) with a ductile core (prevents cracking), making it one of the strongest diff cover materials you can put on a Dana 44. Every cover is machined in-house on precision CNC equipment to guarantee proper sealing and consistent fitment.
