Very happy with the PML's. Have them front and rear. Excellent fit. Mine are the plain cast ones, no powder coat. Have had them on for about four years, no leaks, no complaints. I went with the plain ones because I heard they cool better.

Get one of each! I have a PML on the front and MH on the rear. I like them both. I guess I have to say I like the quality of the MH just a little more....but MH has had some issues with fitment on the front (rubbing)...and the design looks a little funky on the front for some reason. So I went with PML there. You can't look at both ends at the same time anyway. ..

I have not had opportunity to look at the PML, but the MHs I put on are exceptional quality, and would buy them again in a second.

I opeted for the MagHyteks, their quality is excellent. I have NO issues with them, plenty of clearance. I drive on hot surfaces all the time, the extra fluid to me IS a BIG plus, the more the better. If I were to get a new truck, the MagHyteks would be the first thing I would install. CD

I have MH on both diffs and the tranny pan. I like the look and quality and have had no issues other than some leaking around the pan caused by using the wrong gasket. Putting the right one in fixed that right away.

MikeyT replied 1 month, 2 weeks ago

Which is the right one, and which is the wrong one?

MikeyT replied 1 month, 2 weeks ago
The Dodge re-usable universal gasket is the wrong one, so are the cork gaskets used at some shops. Mag Hytec uses a fibre-type gasket, which is included in the kit or can be purchased at most tranny-supply places.

Yup, 35/12.5R17 on the stock rim, sucked right up where the stock spare goes, no issues at all. You can see it a bit better in this shot

You can see it a bit better in this shot I wonder what the difference is?? Note: I do not have issues unless the suspension compresses 3-4", like with a load and driving on a dirt road where the suspension cycles more than normal.
