I went to autoanything and got a g2 cover for 125, came with permatex gasket and new hex-heads. Dressed it up nicely...

Some advice is do NOT go with a chrome cover, they retain heat. A aluminum cover is best as it dissipates heat much better. I like the Off Road Unlimited, Mag-Hytec, & TA Covers.

I had a TA on my 2003 and have a Mag-Hytec on my 2013.

DONT FORGET THE FRICTION MODIFIER IF YOU HAVE A LS DIFF!

Thanks for the info on the chrome but luckily i didn't like those. I was wondering on your thoughts on steel? I am going to run Royal Purple gear oil.

Honestly if your going through the hassle of changing the cover go with a aluminum one. Also personally Motorcraft fluids are the only stuff I use!
