Does this come with a gasket or drain plug?
No — gasket, drain plug, and mounting hardware are not included.

Should I use a cut gasket or RTV to seal this cover?
Confirm your axle's sealing requirements — both cut gasket and RTV are commonly used depending on application and builder preference.

Steel with a chrome finish.

Can this be used on a towing or hauling build?
