Computer Pick-Up Collar - 4 Magnets

The STRANGE Computer Pick-Up Collar with 4 Magnets (model U1614-4) is a specialized magnetic yoke assembly designed for use with Ford 9-inch differentials. This component features four integrated magnets positioned to capture metallic debris circulating in the differential fluid, preventing ferrous particles from damaging internal gears and bearings during operation. The 35-spline configuration ensures secure engagement with compatible Ford 9-inch yoke applications, making it an essential upgrade for high-performance and heavy-duty differentials.

The four-magnet design significantly enhances debris collection capacity compared to single or dual-magnet alternatives. This increased magnetic field coverage traps metal particles effectively, reducing the risk of wear-related bearing and gear degradation that can occur from prolonged circulation of ferrous contamination. The collar assembly integrates directly into the existing differential housing, requiring no additional modifications to standard Ford 9-inch installations. Weighing only 0.29 lbs, the pickup collar adds minimal weight while providing substantial protective benefits.

This product is intended for automotive enthusiasts, drag racers, off-road drivers, and fleet operators who prioritize differential longevity and reliability. Heavy-duty applications—towing, repeated acceleration cycles, or operation in high-temperature environments—generate elevated levels of internal wear particles. The STRANGE magnetic pickup collar is particularly valuable in these scenarios, where conventional fluid-only filtration may be insufficient. Installation is straightforward for users familiar with differential service, and the 35-spline design guarantees proper fitment on compatible Ford 9-inch housings.

Ford 9-inch differentials remain a popular choice in performance and custom vehicle builds due to their strength and availability. Upgrading the magnetic debris collection system is a cost-effective way to extend differential service life, particularly in applications where replacement or bearing repair costs are significant. The STRANGE Computer Pick-Up Collar with 4 Magnets represents a proven solution for protecting this critical drivetrain component against premature wear.
