The PTO Cover by TDS is not only a way to redefine your accuracy when filling the fluid level of your Dodge G56 transmission; it’s also a super easy install and very affordable. With a TDS Cover installed, you are now able to easily overfill to a full 8 quarts. The fill plug is located at the top of the plate, which allows for additional space as well as a small recess in the interior of the plate providing additional space.
Not only is the fill plug moved up, this particular PTO cover also includes 3 ports on the bottom of the plate for additional accessories. The in and out ports are designed for the addition of an oil cooler, and the 3rd, unlabeled port, can be used for a temperature sensor. If you prefer not to add these right away, the TDS cover comes with plugs for every port. You can also order a plate without any additional ports.
I was thoroughly impressed when I received the cover in the mail. Not only is it made from solid 6061-T6 aluminum barstock, it is flawlessly machined and included all of the necessary hardware, except for a gasket. I got a PTO cover gasket from my local diesel mechanic and I also picked up some black gasket maker from my auto parts store.
The PTO cover by TDS is definitely something I would recommend. It is an easy install that takes little time and effort and allows for a full 8 quarts of fluid. Check out TDS on Ebay to order yours!
