Dude, this is project that many would be scared to tackle, much less film and explain. I really dig the fancy pinion Bearing tool! You are the man! Duddie won’t know what to do with such a smooth working rearend!
Watching now. Great review for me. It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these. And I will have to do one in the next year or six on the stitches challenger. Thanks brother.
Can never tell the level of fun your having so thanks for the work put into this project. It’s fun for us to follow along. Hope it’s fun for you too!!!
Thanks dude. gear sets aren't too bad. Start with a good used set and learn how to deal with the bearings. Setting up new gears does take a bit more work to get pinion depth set correctly
The way I set the carrier bearing preload and backlash is: bring the adjusters in until there is basically zero backlash and the ring gear will rotate all 360* without binding, then crush the bearings by turning ONLY the adjuster that adds backlash. Keep tightening until you get it within specs, or to your previous measured value (used R&P). Do this with one cap bolt on each side (diagonally opposite is how I do it) torqued to spec and the other just snug on each side. Once the backlash and preload are set, don't forget to torque them all and lock the adjusters down.
Grew up with welded spider gears and broke a few axles because of it.....Might want to use better aftermarket axle with that spool like from Mark Williams...Break the tires loose when you turn corners helps save axles....
Awesome Step by Step! I got all my parts in today so I'm ready to assemble from scratch...an 8.75 w/489for my Bee. Tell me....do you have another video or can you do a Step by Step for the pinion depth with shims. You mentioned it in the beginning and you since you have the shim, you were good to go. I don't have one to reuse, so I have to do the whole step. What do you have that might help?
you can find pinion depth setting tools on line. They are a pain to use but it can be done if you want it perfect. There should be a number scribed in the back of the pinion that indicates the correct pinion depth. You can also find several threads online in the forums. Google search "Mopar 8.75 Pinion depth"
@@TheDodgeWhisperer Thanks for the reply! I kinda figured there was some other videos out there but wanted to give you the option to direct me on one of your'...if you had one. :)
@@TheDodgeWhisperer I discovered something I haven't seen any video footage of...anywhere. So I got the large pinion gear off but to my surprise there was NO shim. I;m guessing it's because it came with a crush sleeve? It did, BUT why would there be a shim under the large bearing race and the casing?? Yeh, when I knocked the race out....out fell a shim with the race. Is this some kind of shortcut somebody used before me?? What do you think?
So is it possible to install a spool in a 02 single cab dodge ram short box truck that has 9 1/4 limited slip thats worn out or only can be installed on an open 9 1/4 rear diff .. my limited slip worn out an i use this for 1/8 an 1/4 mile races an street too l,but only sees about 5 to 7k miles on street if lucky.. if i do spool install myself i thinking it a cheaper way to go .. like a minis spool set up And not worry about limited slip going on me again.? Or cost of a true track or locker of some sort ? Cheers dude , miss your videos 👍

I wish i knew a mechanic as good and knowable as the Dodge Whisperer where i live
we are few and far between
Good thing for dodge whisperer to save ol Duddie for the next step.
A little help from a friend 👍
He needs all the help he can get. Good practice for me too!

Thanks Joe. differential work is definitely tough
Wow!! You get so much more done when I'm not there............
someone has to get stuff done!
Duddie be slacking off is what he is saying lol!! Got to get that buttocks in gear Duddie time waits for no one and you got some butt to whip
good presentation
You can use a portable induction cook top too heat bearings ring gear to 200° for an easy press on.
I concur
Pinion in the freezer overnight too
@@440phoenix yep that works well!
I can just set them on the hood of the truck for a few minutes right now in Texas .... easily 200 degrees in short order LOL
@@TheDodgeWhisperer along with the ham and eggs!
Watching now.

Look at all those professional tools that you’ve got…. You shame the rest of us who use nothing but sockets & blocks of wood. 😂
I have made some but the bearing puller was priceless
Can never tell the level of fun your having so thanks for the work put into this project. It’s fun for us to follow along. Hope it’s fun for you too!!!
Always a good time to be had building race cars! Thanks for following the projects!
Love this video Dodge Whisperer. That was fun. I think I’m ready to try rebuilding one.

good tips dude. it is always good to find the best methods to save a bit of time
@@TheDodgeWhisperer Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it!!

Nice video. I will definitely be using this info soon. I've never set one up before, and this answered a couple of things I was unsure of. Thanks!
Thanks they really aren't that difficult... tools and patience makes it go well.
Whoa, I’m digging the dual camera angles.
Thanks for sharing DW, this is something I need to do also... Doesnt look too bad although Ill be on the scrounge for a decent puller :)
yep the clamshell puller is a serious time saver
I was expecting Duddie to make a guest appearance at the end, when you were all done !!!
He was actually working his real job LOL

I have a 3.90 sure grip going in my 71 dart build
Good Job! I switched gearsets and now I'm looking for a used 29-spline yoke for a 489. I have a 10-spline I don't need. Thx!
Good progress✊
One thing off Duddie's long list of things he needs to get done before Noname. LOL
it is a long list!
I see some tools I want/need to buy.
the right tools are the key for sure
I think someone owes you a crisp refreshing Dr Pepper.😆
indeed LOL
Uh, that click on the torque wrench is your signal to stop pulling on it. 🤦
Is this something most mechanic shops can do, I need it done on my truck
I wouldn't say most shops do this. Just call around. Most shops that work on transmissions will do this type of work
So is it possible to install a spool in a 02 single cab dodge ram short box truck that has 9 1/4 limited slip thats worn out or only can be installed on an open 9 1/4 rear diff .. my limited slip worn out an i use this for 1/8 an 1/4 mile races an street too l,but only sees about 5 to 7k miles on street if lucky.. if i do spool install myself i thinking it a cheaper way to go .. like a minis spool set up And not worry about limited slip going on me again.?

Around how much Horsepower can that spooled 8 3/4 take?
Not sure but it should be plenty for 500 hp
You didn't check the final backlash
