Glad I had mine powder coated right out of the box. I did that because I didn't like the original silver coating. It's been in my Bronco for over a year and it still looks like new.

Mine has been on the truck for almost 2 years. Just checked and absolutely no chipping.

No exposure to road salt I am assuming by your location. Road salt would accelerate rusting a lot. I live in FL and should be OK I hope.

Well I am in Miami, and mines look like the pic that was posted. Did you email Ford directly? I would not mind a new one to put on. @jsoa

I'm assuming just the outside was coated? Does it matter if both sides are coated? (I'm a newbie)

Yes, just the outer surface was coated. I wouldn't want the paint flakes to float inside the differential.

Mine doesn't look quite that bad, but it seems that it's only a matter of time.
I sent them an email too to see if they'll send me a new one 🤷‍♂️

How long is the warranty on the cover? Also, did Ford have you return the old one? Mine will be going on next month when the weather warms up. Thanks.

According to the FP website, there is no warranty. But I’m guessing they did for me because of how terrible it looked already in less than ~15 months.
And no they did not ask for the old one back.

Well mine looks like crap now as well with large sections of paint flaking off. I guess I'll reach out to Ford Performance and see if they'll do anything about it. Mine has only been on for ~9 months.

I've had the differential cover installed about a year now and have had no issues. I'm in south Louisiana though. No salty roads here.
