Banks Ram-Air differential cover extends lubrication life and retains fuel economy. Thanks to its superior fluid and aerodynamics, the Ram-Air Cover out-performs stock and flat-back high-capacity covers and does so with less lubricant. Increased distance between service intervals and less lubricant means you'll save money while extending gear life.

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

Banks Ram-Air Differential Cover Kit Features:

  • Cools 118% better than flat-backs in 200hp 60mph sustained tests

Reviews

  • Do you make them for 2023 f450. I have one on my ram 3500 dually and love it

    Glenn Caminiti | 6/20/2023

    Not at this time.

  • Why will this product not work on a new cab and chassis?

    Adam earlywine | 5/10/2020

    It should fit any dodge ram 2001-2018 with a 11.5 14 bolt rear end. Sway Bar Spacers (#19249-2) required on 2014 Ram Trucks with OEM sway bar.

  • Will you be making the new diff covers for a 98 gm OBS truck soon?

    Joe | 1/5/2020

    We are not sure if / when Banks will release those differential covers.

  • Do you make a front and rear differential cover combo? If so do you sell it in a set

    [email protected] | 11/24/2019

    Banks does not do the front covers at this time.

    John Gillespie | 10/16/2019

    You would need to contact  Banks Power for that answer, they are the manufacture.

  • Please send detailed explanation for installation of spacers for 2016 Ram diff cover.

    Dexter May | 9/13/2019

    This item has not been released yet. It has a mid-september release date.

  • Will installing this void manufacturer warranty?

    Steve Harris | 9/13/2019

    This should not void factory warranty. But always check with your dealer.
