Who said they aren't needed? I said that i felt this was developed as a fix for a problem years ago. Also, with the advances in friction design/material, steels, pistons and plates that have been developed and tested to adress these problems i didn't feel it's a necessity. Never did i say it's a waste of time, or not needed. Members are spinning words around to make this long and drawn out. If added security is what you need to feel good driving your truck worry free then by all means, Purchase.

"Not worth having" and "but why?" to most people means "Arent needed". But to your credit, you did also state that they could provide added security...so which is it? Why get down on people who want to maximize the longevity of their builds?Not worth having in my opinion. You can drill the case and get a set of Goerend PTO covers but why? We tested the c3 and c4's that are in your trans in multiple trucks well over 1k hp and only had 0 oiling issues.. Do what you feel you need to do for added security but IMO you'll be fine without
I didnt get suckered into buying one.
You must have missed Mike's post. SunCoast had a part in developing these but way to keep the thread going " :thumb: "

Depends on how bad I get bitched at for having an opinion. :rofl:So in the end nobody gets to hear the end of the story

Is anyone running the PTO covers feel its worth the trouble to pull the tranny to add them or just get an actual C3 oiler?
It is not worth pulling the trans to do this. Trans must be totaly stripped because you are going to have a ton of aluminum to clean out.
The side covers is just another way to redirect fluid that is sitting there doing nothing. It dumps the fluid towards the bottom of the clutch pack so it is not that effective. But it sure is better than nothing.
