Dana 80 10-Bolt Chrome Steel Differential Cover

• Chrome steel differential cover for Dana 80 rear axle housings, 10-bolt cover pattern

• Dana 80 uses a 10-bolt cover with a 12-bolt ring gear — confirm your axle before ordering

• Filler plug included; drain plug, gasket, and mounting hardware not included

• Fits F-350, F-450, Ram 2500/3500, and heavy-duty truck builds running the Dana 80

This is a chrome steel differential cover built for Dana 80 rear axle housings — the heavy-duty rear end used in Ford F-350, F-450, F-Super Duty, Dodge Ram 2500, and Ram 3500 trucks, as well as other heavy-duty tow and haul applications. The Dana 80 uses a 10-bolt cover pattern with a 12-bolt ring gear — confirm both specs match your axle before ordering, since the cover bolt count alone isn't enough to identify this axle.

Steel construction with a chrome finish supports durable housing protection and a clean appearance for builds where axle aesthetics matter alongside heavy-duty use. A filler plug is included with this cover — a useful inclusion for service and fluid fill after installation.

A drain plug, gasket, and mounting hardware are not included — confirm your gasket style (cut gasket or RTV), fill plug configuration, and suspension clearance before installation. Always verify your specific axle model and housing shape before ordering. Sold individually.

Chrome Steel Cover Built for the Dana 80's 10-Bolt Cover Pattern
Manufactured from steel with a chrome finish, this differential cover is sized and bolted for Dana 80 rear axle housings, giving you a durable, clean-looking replacement for a leaking, rusted, or damaged factory cover on heavy-duty Ford and Dodge truck builds.

10-Bolt Cover, 12-Bolt Ring Gear 
The Dana 80 is unique in that it runs a 10-bolt cover pattern alongside a 12-bolt ring gear. If you're cross-referencing specs to confirm your axle, both numbers matter — a 10-bolt cover with a 12-bolt ring gear is a strong identifier that you're working with a Dana 80. This cover is built to that specific 10-bolt cover pattern.
