★ Robust stamped differential cover for Dana 25 and Dana 27 front axles. Manufactured to original specifications for reliable sealing and differential protection.
Application
This cover fits Dana 25 and Dana 27 front axles. The Dana 25 was standard equipment on military jeeps (1941-1945) and early CJ models (1945-1960). The Dana 27 was used from 1961 to approximately 1965 alongside the Dana 25, before replacing the Dana 25 in CJ models.
Installation notes
Use a new gasket during installation and tighten bolts in a criss-cross pattern for uniform sealing. Thoroughly clean the differential housing surface for optimal sealing. Breather opening must remain clear for ventilation.
Compatibility
Dana 25 and Dana 27 share the same cover bolt pattern. Note: this cover is specific to front axles. Check which axle type is fitted to your vehicle – from 1961 onwards, both Dana 25 and Dana 27 were used interchangeably in CJ models.
Historical context
Dana-Spicer supplied the Dana 25 and Dana 27 closed knuckle front axles that were standard equipment on military jeeps and early civilian models. These robust axles proved their worth in WWII and formed the foundation for later Jeep drivetrains.
