RAM 3500 Rear Differential Service After Towing 30,000 lbs

Before I even heard his voice I knew it was Trent! I've been a fan of Precision Transmission ever since I found their channel. I've seen his legs sticking out from under so many lifts that I knew who it was instantly! I had to double check to make sure what channel it was, lol!

Doubly important, if you work on older or rust belt trucks, cause it's impossible to fill from the drain hole, if you can't get the fill plug out. Better to leave the old oil in, if the customer doesn't want to pay for the time, to drill out the fill plug or replace the cover.

Big part is what sort of towing he's doing - if it's highway miles at medium throttle and high gears the vehicles not being loaded nearly as hard as if it was in the mountains, with full throttle being used in mid-lower gears.

The Bank's differential covers should have ave intake shroud that draws air flow across the fins it would cool better while the vehicle is in a forward motion.

[@theundergroundlairofthesqu9261]

Not easy to see from this video but the tabs that stick out on each corner at the bottom are in fact scoops that redirect air upwards.

[@Garth2011]

@Lauren (wherever she went to) I doubt anyone claimed OEM was the worst one to use however, there are many other aftermarket brands out there that DO NOT perform as good as an OEM cover. At least Banks tested theirs and filmed their testing methods as to the improved lower temperatures over OEM plus the advantages of the oil sight glass, top fill plug and lower drain plug. Expensive accessory however, it is better than OEM in many ways.

Those two parts of the diff cover that extend beyond the original diff dimensions (the "scoops")...if they were cut off and reattached with hinges and kept in place with springs, the owner won't have to worry about tall spots in deeply rutted roads or big rocks the driver can't go around because whatever collides with those spots will simply move them backwards and the springs will move them back into place so they can continue to channel air upwards over the diff cover. All it takes is one good hit (2 mph or faster) and that aluminum diff cover will start leaking. Those Banks diff covers are great but they could be made just a little bit better.

You should check out the Banks cover video. They show what it takes to break them off (hint: they're made to break off in a way so as not to leak)

[@bankspower]

Although we're all for clean, breathable air, we're also racers and have been since 1958 when Gale sold his first engine. We publicly back the RPM act to preserve racing on multiple occasions. Do we wish emissions equipment wasn't necessary on street-driven trucks? Of course. No one likes DEF and DPFs. But as long as it's the law, we're going to follow it. And, we'll continue to invest in new technology, making big power, cleanly. Tire smoke is the only acceptable smoke.

Wasn't aware Ram was using a rear suspension anything like this. Did not count the lugs but if it's 10 lugs he's either using adapters or a 4500 or 5500 series chassis.

Why is it acting like it needs a vent

[@Garth2011]

The factory OEM cover design requires the cover to be removed to drain the gear lube. No vent required for that design. Now that the OEM cover is replaced with the Bank Cover, the housing air vent is not large enough to deal with the drain volume but it is still big enough to deal with the needed vent needs. The mechanic only needed to know he could have removed the fill plug on the Banks cover to eliminate the vacuum created with the Bank cover design as the cover is not removed, causing the vacuum.
