Isn't that the OEM rear diff cover available on the latest Dodge Cummins with the Tow Max package?
Made by AAM who manufacturers the Dodge front and rear diff's.

Looks nice. Doesn't say if it is an extra capacity or not though.

Yeap, looks like it may be the OEM pan on the Max Tow package trucks.

Yup! Which is a turn off. I guess they (the manf) did that so people still remove the cover and inspect inside the diff instead of just a drain and refill. But it would be nice to cleanly drain the fluid before removing the cover.

Just installed one the other day. Nice complete kit, and with a stock unit at $150cnd(no gasket or bolts), this is a killer value
I squeezed 4 full quarts with the nose down slighly

Just put one on my truck also about a month ago. Make sure to paint the fill plug cause it will rust. It is also wise to put some anti-sieze on the threads so it won't be a pain to get out next time.

I was looking at one called an Oasis cover with drain for $187 and change. It looks to be a solid unit as well. This OE unit appears to be a good cover however with out a drain plug that is a drawback to me. HTH
