This Cover Is Built To Outrun The Competition

If you're the type who demands more than just tough looks under your truck, the Banks 19262 Raw Ram-Air Differential Cover is exactly the upgrade you've been waiting for. It’s not just another metal cover with fancy fins slapped on, it’s a patented, purpose-built performance part that fixes the real problems others ignore. Whether you're towing heavy, running long highway miles, or putting your truck through rough terrain, this cover is designed to keep your diff fluid cooler and your gears protected. The raw aluminum finish gives it a no-nonsense, workhorse appearance that backs up its performance promise. Built to actively pull in cool air as you drive, this cover eliminates the dead air zones that make other covers ineffective. It improves oil circulation, reduces aeration, and helps extend the life of your lubricant, which means fewer breakdowns and better long-term protection. You’re not just buying a cover, you’re investing in smarter, more efficient drivetrain performance.

The Science Behind Better Cooling Starts With Airflow

The Banks 19262 was engineered from the ground up to fix what traditional differential covers get wrong. While others rely on deep fins and extra fluid to do the job, this cover attacks the root problem, airflow. The Ram-Air scoops are positioned to catch high-velocity air and channel it upward through 24 extended cooling fins, offering over 530 square inches of heat-rejecting surface. This design was tested using real-world road conditions and advanced instrumentation to track airflow speeds and thermal performance. Instead of letting the fluid crash into sharp angles or sit stagnant in corners, the internal flow path keeps things moving, reducing internal resistance and fluid foaming. The raw die-cast A380 aluminum body provides precision fitment and rugged durability, while the included magnetic plugs and sight-glass make maintenance easy and clean. The result is a differential cover that not only looks tough but performs under pressure, mile after mile.
