Fitment Notes

Specifically fits vehicles equipped with the Ford 8.8" solid rear axle housing (10-bolt cover pattern). Does **not** fit upgraded HD 12-bolt 8.8" axles (e.g., late-model F-150 HD axle) or independent rear suspension 8.8 models unless cover bolt pattern matches.
Does not include gasket or mounting hardware - reuse OEM gasket or purchase separately.
Fitment confirmed through model year 2014 based on manufacturer documentation; any application beyond 2014 should be verified for axle housing bolt pattern and spline count before purchase.

Features

Constructed from heavy-duty steel for increased durability and off-road protection.
Direct bolt-on design with 10 cover bolts, maintaining factory bolt pattern.
Designed specifically for the Ford 8.8" ring gear axle assembly to ensure proper fitment.
Provides extra protection to differential housing and components from road hazards and off-road impacts.
Includes drain/fill access but does **not** include gasket or mounting bolts, allowing use of OEM or upgraded hardware.
Finish in black powder coat (or bare steel depending on vendor) to resist corrosion and provide a clean appearance.
Easy installation using standard 10-bolt cover pattern; ideal for street, towing and moderate off-road use where a protective cover is desired.
Manufactured by Yukon Gear & Axle, a well-known drivetrain specialist, offering confidence in fit and durability.

1x Yukon Gear & Axle YP C5-F8.8-S differential cover

Product Description

The Yukon Gear & Axle YP C5-F8.8-S is a direct-fit steel differential cover engineered specifically for vehicles equipped with the Ford 8.8" solid rear axle. If you're looking to upgrade the rear axle cover on your Ford F-150, Bronco, Explorer or other compatible vehicle, this cover gives you rugged protection with a no-nonsense design.

Because the cover is built from heavy-duty steel and designed to match the factory 10-bolt pattern for the 8.8" axle, installation is straightforward - remove the old cover, clean the housing surface, install the new cover (with gasket or sealant as required), refill differential fluid and you're done. It helps safeguard the internal components of the differential - bearings, ring & pinion, gear set - from rocks, debris or damage when driving under load or off-road.

This cover is ideal for owners who tow, haul, or take their vehicle off-road and want added durability without the complexity or cost of a full aftermarket carrier or case. Note however: it is essential to verify that your vehicle uses the "10-bolt" version of the 8.8" housing (used in many F-150s and other Ford models through circa 2014) and not the later 12-bolt version or IRS 8.8 variants. Using the wrong cover pattern may result in improper fitment or seal failure.
