How can you force 4wheel parts website to search by vehicle?

sometimes it does it....sometimes it don't

for Shocks, it comes up to choose by vehicle

but looking for Diff Covers, it just comes up with a huge list of crap by Vendor's part number

buying a Diff Cover for a friend, not interested in researching their vehicle all day.

if i can't figure it out, looks like they are getting a Lowes Gift Card.

ok, their website officially sucks:

click the HOME button, drop down to "drivetrain"
then "diff covers" in the next column to the right,
then you can search by vehicle:

HOWEVER, if you click DIRECT FIT (meaning, hey this FITs on your truck), it ONLY shows the stamped steel covers
https://www.4wheelparts.com/Drivetra..._PQ=Direct+Fit


of course, MAG HYTEC's website is funky too, kinda have to search thru all the words to find the year, front, rear:
Dodge : mag-hytec

looks like this is the one, even though the bolts pattern is wrong:
http://mag-hytec.com/store/index.php...roducts_id=104
Dodge #AA 14-11.5 CS
$295.00
Overall height 3 5/8"
2014 to present Dodge/Ram Rear



ARB's website just downloads a PDF to your computer, but it also is not detailed enough
http://www.arbusa.com/Vehicle-Application-Guide.aspx
the ARB is just a very TIGHT cover, like for rock climbing, it looks like would DECREASE the amount of fluid to cool the diff.


G2 does not list enough specs to identify anything:
http://g2axle.com/pages/view/brute
Years: 01 - Present / Part: 40-2024MB

most of the reviews on Diff Covers say "sent me the wrong one first....."



-------------------
http://mag-hytec.com/store/index.php...products_id=20
"2014 to present 2500 with coil springs SEE #AA 14-11.5 CS"

This cover is the correct cover for your 14 bolt - 11.5" differential, even though there are only 12 bolt holes. The top and bottom bolts have been removed for drain plug and temperature sending unit hole.

Bolt Pattern has one top and one bottom bolt @ 12:00 O'clock & 6:00 O'clock for quick identification.

OR #AA 14-10.5 Bolt Pattern has two top and bottom bolts @ 11:00 & 1:00 O'clock & 7:00 & 5:00 O'clock for quick identification.
