Can someone tell me if the front diff gasket is the same as the back in regards to being able to reuse it. I just got my MagHytec front cover and want to know if i need a new gasket or use the old one. Thanks

The front does have the same gasket as the back but I do not know if it would work with a mag-hytec cover. For the amount of money those covers are, you would think they would come with a five dollar gasket with them.

I thought the mad covers used a an o-ring not a gasket.

The MagHytec usually has an o ring but the new Dodge 9.25 fronts cannot use the o-ring idea. They will be coming with a awesome gasket in the production runs i believe. For now i need to use a stocker. I just wanted to be sure i could reuse the stock one, or maybe i will just get a new one for the heck of it. Will post pics when done.

The gasket on the front is the same and reusable. I have been waiting for MH to come out with the front cover and I knew they were working on them. But I haven't yet seen one. Can you tell me where you got yours? Price?


I know the rear MH has a really nice O-ring which I hoped they would use on the front.

Opps, went to edit, and accidently posted twice. See next.

Yes, I have changed my fluid, and both were reused. The factory gaskets are of a plastic rubery compound with two beads around both sides. They came off easily, cleaned up easily and went right back on.

Just for the benifit of someone searching for gasket part numbers in the future, the front is 05086682AA, and the rear is 05086905AA.

I got mine from MH. I have been waiting for them to release the front for over 1.5 years. I just called on the right day and i got one of the prototypes new in the box. The production runs are the same things. Looks awesome so far, will post pics tomorrow.

Here is the new front MagHytec for the 14-9.25 AA diff. I will snap a pic once installed. Very nice product as always !

Finally got the diff cover installed. The tie rod comes very close to the pan. Only when i turn all the way to the left does it almost touch. I took it for a good bag run and bounced the front end all around and it seems to clear all the way around. Very nice piece again ! Enjoy

How many quarts does it take with the new Mag-Tec cover?

lucey

Is there any one else out there with this setup yet. I realize i have a prototype model but it seems when hitting large bumps the upper control arm hits the pan. Its really to bad but it seems like this is the same scenario PML went through with their front cover. I was told the prototypes were the exact same thing as the productiion run. Does anyone else have this issue ? I'm not trying to rap on MagHytec but just want to get a solution in the works.

lucey

It holds exactly 4.0 qts. I think they say it holds 4.5 qts

Lucey,

I have been wanting to get one and have been waiting for it ever since I got the rear one probably a year ago. Yours is the first I have seen or even read about.

They don't even show it on Mag-Hytec's web site yet.

I had heard they were getting close to finishing it and producing it though.

Where did you get yours? price, if you don't mind me asking?

lucey

I got mine from MagHytec direct for 265.00. I am having some issues with it touching the upper control arm. Will talk to them today.
