46-71030B: The current exact manufacturer listing names Wrangler JL 2018-2023 and Gladiator JT 2020-2023 with a Dana M210 front axle. Its older linked shared manual names Wrangler 2018-2019 2.0L/3.6L and Gladiator 2020 3.6L. Exact-part independent named tables support additional listed trims, but a trim name alone does not establish which front axle is installed. Confirm M210 rather than M186 or a different axle; later diesel/hybrid engine and housing configurations require exact confirmation. No later-year or rear-axle approval follows from this cover.

Specifications

Detail Value
Manufacturer Part Number 46-71030B
Position / axle Front / Dana M210 / 12-bolt pattern
Finish black powder-coating with machined fins
Fill plug 1/2-inch NPT magnetic top fill plug with a 3-inch deep reach
Fluid level Fill with the correct new axle lubricant until it runs from the 1/8-inch calibration port, approximately 1.5 quarts in the manual’s illustrated installation. The calibrated level governs rather than a universal bottle count; verify the proper level if a lifted vehicle has a rotated axle.
Tightening The exact manual specifies 12-16 ft-lb for all twelve mounting screws in a crisscross pattern. It provides no numerical drain-plug torque or NPT turn count; do not borrow the TRX or Bronco plug instructions.

What's Included

  • One black powder-coated cast-aluminum front differential cover with machined fins; twelve M8 x 1.25 x 25 socket-head screws and twelve flat washers; one M12 x 1.25 magnetic drain plug with crush washer; one 1/8-inch NPT calibration plug; one 1/2-inch NPT magnetic top fill plug with a 3-inch deep reach; and a pre-installed porthole view gauge. Raw-cover plain plugs are alternative-variant parts, not extra contents of this kit.
  • The exact manual reuses the original factory gasket. Carefully remove and inspect it; a new gasket, tube of RTV, gear oil, axle additive, tools, filter and coupler are not established in the bill of materials. Select lubricant and additive requirements for the actual axle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 46-71030B?

Black Pro Series cast-aluminum cover for the Dana M210 front axle.

Which axle and model years apply?

The current exact manufacturer listing names Wrangler JL 2018-2023 and Gladiator JT 2020-2023 with a Dana M210 front axle. Its older linked shared manual names Wrangler 2018-2019 2.0L/3.6L and Gladiator 2020 3.6L. Exact-part independent named tables support additional listed trims, but a trim name alone does not establish which front axle is installed. Confirm M210 rather than M186 or a different axle; later diesel/hybrid engine and housing configurations require exact confirmation. No later-year or rear-axle approval follows from this cover.

Which fill plug and sight glass are included?

1/2-inch npt magnetic top fill plug with a 3-inch deep reach and a pre-installed porthole view gauge. The front manual’s bill of materials and finish-specific steps identify the 1/2-inch, 3-inch magnetic plug. Do not substitute the rear cover’s 3/4-inch, 6-inch part.

Which mounting hardware is supplied?

Twelve M8 x 1.25 x 25 socket-head screws and twelve flat washers; these are the mounting fasteners listed by this exact manual.

Is a new gasket or gear oil included?

The exact manual reuses the original factory gasket. Carefully remove and inspect it; a new gasket, tube of RTV, gear oil, axle additive, tools, filter and coupler are not established in the bill of materials. Select lubricant and additive requirements for the actual axle.

How is the correct oil level set?

Fill with the correct new axle lubricant until it runs from the 1/8-inch calibration port, approximately 1.5 quarts in the manual’s illustrated installation. The calibrated level governs rather than a universal bottle count; verify the proper level if a lifted vehicle has a rotated axle.

What tightening values apply?

The exact manual specifies 12-16 ft-lb for all twelve mounting screws in a crisscross pattern. It provides no numerical drain-plug torque or NPT turn count; do not borrow the TRX or Bronco plug instructions.

What installation checks are important?

Drain on a flat, dry surface with the tires blocked. Remove the lower ten bolts, loosen the top two to drain, then remove the cover and preserve the original gasket. Clean with a lint-free rag and gasket scraper without gouging or rounding the housing face. Fit the gasket and cover with all twelve supplied screws/washers, then tighten in a crisscross pattern. Install the magnetic drain plug and crush washer; fill by the calibration port, then apply the specified Teflon pipe sealant to the calibration and magnetic fill-plug threads and close the ports. Check clearance and leaks.
