Mag-Hytec cover problem on Vented Cover Dana 60's

I thought I'd mention this in case anyone's thinking about adding a Mag-Hytec Dana 60 cover. If your stock cover has a hose connected to it rather than the axle, you should be aware of a problem. First, all retailers that sell Dana 60 covers are selling the sealed version. When you get it home and go to install it, you realize that's something is wrong because you have a hose left hanging. Secondly, Mag-Hytec replaced my dipstick with a vented version. Unfortunately there is no baffle inside the cover and gear oil is sucked up the vent hose, and out onto the wheel house and all over the left suspension. Depending on the oil weight, internal level and speed, it's possible to loose a pint or so within 20 miles of driving. The company is working on a fix but it may be a while. Just a warning so you're not left disappointed and forced to re-install the stock cover....like me :
