I've been binge-watching your videos since I tripped over your channel a few days ago. I drive a 2004 Tundra V8 4x4 access cab, with just a quarter million miles on it. It's still running great, and it has the dog nose-prints on the insides of its windows to show how well-loved it is. Say what you will about California, but at least we don't have to deal with rust like that here! The paint on the tops of the hood and cab is all flaking off after 14 years in the sun, but the metal underneath is just fine. I should have clicked away before I got to the closing scene, because that Cadillac made my laptop smell like rust!
The best part of these videos: “What do you think?” “Shall we?” I don’t know what it is but it feels like watching my father in the shop when I was a kid.
I don't know if you've ever tried it but 5050 acetone and atf makes the best penetrant I've ever used. As a bonus its super. Cheap and you can reuse old atf to boot!
If you heat the shaft really hot the let it cool it will shrink in the bearing race. When it's heated the race won't let it expand radially but when it cools it will shrink in all directions. Not guaranteed to work but it usually does.
I remember my first day in Turkey in 1957. I got a ride with a new Ambulance to about the area across from the Sea of Maramara and then the rear axle came loose...I was a farm boy and hoped to have some baling wire to lift the rear drive shaft but alas, no wire...so the sgt driving gave me a bunch of coins and go to call the base....just at that time the catholic chaplain showed up and said he would call the base, just 24 hours in the country and I got all of this happening :) chuck wow! that Caddy is a beauty, I am sure you will get it :)
I typically go to West Coast Differentials,and order a new ring,pinion,bearing,and setup kit for a couple hundred bucks,and rebuild it using aftermarket,which are often stronger parts(mainly because I'm frugal/cheap,want better parts),and because I never have gotten a decent used diff to warrant paying what people demand for them ...Plus knowing how to set one up helps...
that would take a 100 ton press to pop that or cutting torch out the bearing. this is very common on farm trucks doing heavy towing, diff spider gears go out first though.
I have a 2nd gen Tundra. Hopefully I can get a LSD in before hunting season. WIth 93K replacing the bearings and seals wouldn't be a bad idea. A LSD would really come in handy when hauling a trainer around corners in the rain and snow. A lawn care trailer is great for hauling around goose decoys.
Sooo, I did a bit of looking and according to this website "Eric's Toyota Differential Info", The T-100, Tundra, and maybe Sequoia all use that same differential... I couldn't find info for the housing lengths for the Tundra BUT there is a Tacoma rear axle on ebay and it has 4.10 gears in it with the exact same diff in it, as well as the same chunky squared off diff housing bump to clear the carrier bearing trusses as your Tundra. The housing MAY be the same length as yours (you could ask the seller), but in any case that 4.10 pumpkin should slide right in... You should look at Eric's page it's got real good info and might save you some $$.
Darren I sent you the link for the junk yard I told you about in western ma yesterday. Good luck finding another rear axle or rear ended pinon assembly.
Long time ago I repaired one differential which was badly corroded. It was very noisy although it did not look too bad. But the small corroded pits caused a terrible noise while driving. It had to be replaced with other used parts. For that model 1962 car it was not a big deal and the noise went away. Musti1's differential here can not be salvaged as the teeth are really bad and will surely cause a high noise level.
Must be some Crazy powerful, caustic shit they’re spreading on those icy Northern roads!!! Then, of course, it splashing under your vehicles eating away at all the metals including the frames. My father-in-law lives in Pennsylvania and the same thing happened to his F-250. We had to put a new rear end in it along with brake lines last summer due to the same caustic shit. I guess it’s good for the ice but horrible for the vehicles. I’m glad I live down south.✌️ Good vid as always👍
Know this is old, but with that rear diff. heating up like that, and the metal distorting/weakening would want to change it out completely, rather than my preferred 'repair the old' method I try to usually employ, preferably getting a whole axle assembly that matched the ratio and year correctly.
Nice diff, crunchy and cooked, it looks like you may have to heat that bearing up to red again to have a chance of breaking its bond to the pinion. Im supprised the teeth are there at all, no oil and it took the front bearing to fail before it was noticed. If its an impossible item to get, i imagine the teeth could be polished and the shims tampered with to get it as close as possible, although it would never be really quiet. I think the gas welding torch needs to be in cutting mode to melt the dead bearing rollers. It dont look too easy :-(
Welded the back of the differential on? Wow.......just wow. Reminds me, but not as bad as the Chrysler 27 L V6, where the water pump would go out after 70k+ miles. As in, go out, and let coolant enter and destroy the engine. I may be crazy but I thought the caddie was beautiful.
It would be interesting to find out if there's some sort of lapping compound for gear teeth... so that the teeth can be repaired and smoothed again without replacing the whole part. Although if the dimentions are critical, it would require adjustment..
The way it works is when the oil gets low the pinion bearing is starve first so most people stop driving it when it begins to howl. To test a rear end or manual transmission on a vehicle is drive it and then while it's hot touch the pumpkin with the back of your hand 3 times just touch pull away touch pull away if you can't touch it a third time it's got a bad bearing s. Pulling the driveline and driving it is only for a short emergency . Remember it's low on oil so y starve the other bearings. The failed bearing pieces can damage the ring and pinion and cost a pile to fix.
Had a 1983 pontiac. Had same problem and also bad wheel bearings. $80 for the entire diff at the junkyard. No brakes. Mechanic wanted to charge $60 to replace 1 bearing.
I had a work truck worked on in Miami. It spent its whole life in NE Ohio. It took twice as long to have the repair done just because it was so rusty. They kept snapping bolts and what not.
Me too. No way in hell would I trade our heat, humidity, and bugs for the damn road salt & cold ass weather up North. Vehicles down here that are 75 years old don’t look like that Tundra’s ass end.
I grew up in florida I was born in sarasota I have never seen a car as bad as that caddy even with cars that have been in the ocean they don't split in half from the salt I had heard the storys from all the transplants about the Michigan cancer but I didn't think some one would let it get that bad that poor car and it was a classic .
Everyone has their preference. I had an '84 Hilux (before there was a Tacoma) that had over 240,000 miles on it when I gave it to my daughter. I had a '02 Corolla that had 234,000 on it when I gave it to my son. I now have a '04 Tacoma with 134,000 miles on it, which I hope to get another 100,000 miles out of. I'm in Baltimore, and they salt the roads in the winter, but they are good reliable trucks if you keep up the maintenance. Things will wear out, but seldom break if you take care of them. Pretty much like most other vehicles that way. My Tacoma was made in Kentucky, and my Corolla was made in California, by the way.
Actually, look at the list of "Most US content." You may be surprised. There's more to the auto industry than many people think. GM was the only "US" maker to make this year's list of cars with at least 75% US content. Only 8 models made it, three from GM, the other five from Honda and Toyota. Camry tops the list. Link: www.cars.com/articles/the-2016-carscom-american-made-index-1420684865874/ Not trying to start a fight here, everyone has their preferences.
Sorry, I had a brother-in-law who used to rag on my Toyota for not being "American," yet drove a car made in Mexico himself. It's a sore point with me still. Whatever you prefer, it's your money, I hope you enjoy it whatever it is. That IS a nice looking Tundra, it should be nice when it's got a new rear diff.
I have an original 2001 Tundra that I absolutely love to this day. Some rust taking hold. I was fortunate to catch the Toyota recall on my frame. Basically, if a hole 7mm or larger was found they would replace the entire frame for free. That was my case. I had to wait for over 4 months but they gave me a free, brand new Rav4 loaner (cool car). I have been fixing dents in the truck and been touching up paint and she looks good. The original battery lasted 13 years!!! No lie. She has NEVER let me down and I still smile at her each day I climb aboard. I did my homework before I bought her. Paid 27K on a 3 year lease. So 13 year with no payment and many more to go!
Early in the video he said the PO ran it until carrier was red hot. That burned off all of the paint, oil, etc that was protecting the casting. Once it cooled off it 'flash rusted' and then continued to rust after that to give it that lovely 'been in an ocean' finish.
Cut that bearing out with an oxy-acetylene cutting torch. You have nothing to lose. Then buy a ring and pinion set and new bearings. Third member type differentials are easy to setup on the bench. Are there aftermarket companies that sell third members or at least complete ring and pinion kits for Toyota like Richmond gears?
3 year old vid......Ya.....that outer pinion bearing is welded to the pinion. No amount of press will pop that free. I have had it happen twice .....both times I think it was a Toyota 8" 3rd and the solution was a cutting torch. Amazingly, I did not do any apparent damage to the carrier. In my cases, the 3rds were rebuild and nothing unusual was noted . ZUK
Just a thought but why couldn't you take your plasma cutter and cut out the inners of the bearing and then get it apart. I ran into a similar case on a Ford 9 inch years ago, I cut away the bearing the oxy/act. torch and got it apart.
You don't usually respond to comments but I saw something in an article that made me think of you and your rust problems on the Tundra. Seems like there was a class action suit that was settled by Toyota regarding not providing proper rust protection on some of it's vehicles. You might want to check on the suit because some of the vehicles were Tundra trucks.
holy crap, is that dusty old cars in Nashua? i went down there to look at an Opel GT. they let me in the warehouse... ive never seen so many cars in one place. Bumper to bumper door to door throughout the entire building
Not necessarily. Toyota had a problem on some of the tundras with the undersides rusting out prematurely. My 2000 has some rust starting but I will spray it with a rust converter and stop it from going farther.
I have a 2000 Toyota Tundra hell of a truck I'm at 408,008 miles on it runs great. Till my rear diff started slipping now I'm already taken pumpkin head out I,m just wondering if I can change from limit slip to posi ???
The gears just got a little heat treated for extra hardness LOL. At the dealer those trucks used to eat up the spider gears, We changed a few. Can you get bearings for it? Think the axle bearings are toasted too?
Sir you talked about undercoating of the Used truck you bought off a older gentleman who was moving, what was the mixture I think you said kerosene and…. ?
My pini9n bearings has been whining for a couple years and 40k miles. I dont care theres no play in the shaft, and it hasnt gotten worst and the fluid looks perfect everydrain
So why not look at a service manual? But what would be the fun in that.... On a smaller scale, we used to call those "blown bearings" . No shrapnel, just burned out...
Mustie1 I'm with you on blowing the bearing in pieces. If it doesn't allow enough room to allow race through , I bet a hot wrench can eliminate the race. I have a feeling you are a surgeon with the hot wrench. 😁😁😁😁
That'd be kinda cool, to just fix the 3rd member without having to buy the complete set. Plus it would make an awesome series of videos...which this is all about. I really hope there will be more Tundra (or other cars/motorcycles) vids to come.
Costal WA salt air rusts all metal. If you drive on beach power wash frame and undercoat body. Rust from inside out. Of course they count air bags when doing body shop evaluation. Then and tires and frame. Then body panels. Are you going to learn Tesla drive train?
"so I'm chasing a good rear end" aren't we all!
l knew that was coming
Damn...he beat me... :)
Yeah, Some other guy always gets it first. (:
@Repeat After Me: Not True. That is from experience.
Harhar... The lesson is you can't find a perfect rear end on EBay.
They only propagate in Wal-Mart ROTFL

These diffs are fairly easy to work on, I would recommend replacing the orings on the axle flanges while they are out.
The best part of these videos:
“What do you think?”
“Shall we?”
I don’t know what it is but it feels like watching my father in the shop when I was a kid.

Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac... just remember you can never look back.
i had the same experience with a subaru some years back. it was an automatic. switched it to a straight drive. rear diff gearing is different.
great channel sitting here leg almost good still watching enthralled kent southern england uk
those jack stands are really cool, i wonder of anyone makes some like that nowadays

Talk about fully loaded.. Even the floor of that Caddy is convertible.

Cadillac Paperweight. What a shame. Those cars are incredible. Convertible, big block, smooth, etc.. Rest in Piece(es) old Cadillac.
when you don't have a paint stick I usually raid my wife's old nail Polish. works awesome and does the trick
Sure glad that I moved to Arizona. No traces of rust on anything. I'm applied after living here for 30+ years.

just replace bearings and you are good to go
when I worked at meineke as a kid in Revere crazy manager showed me I thought he was nuts but it works
Florida man here, I don't miss your Rusty ol' cars at all. ;-)

Good vid as always👍
She needed some TLC but you took care of her so good on you
They should name a color "Differential fluid metallic."
so glad my first gens are west coast no rust...just insane how much rust others have
The crown wheel and pinion are lapped with paste for hours. In a mock up diff. Steve in Thailand.
You could have changed both diffs with the higher ratio diffs from the single cab
Know this is old, but with that rear diff. heating up like that, and the metal distorting/weakening would want to change it out completely, rather than my preferred 'repair the old' method I try to usually employ, preferably getting a whole axle assembly that matched the ratio and year correctly.
It was running when we parked it
GTFOOH! I have never seen that type jack stand. You learn something new every day. I'm 56.
G from Australia, really love your postings, it has given me confidence to repair rather than replace. Thanks :)
Weird how they went about lowering that nice convertible .
now its a drag car
:D took me a split second. Put a smile on my indifferent Monday face. Thx, sir.
Nice diff, crunchy and cooked, it looks like you may have to heat that bearing up to red again to have a chance of breaking its bond to the pinion.

cool jack stands. Gotta hunt for some of those.
They're called Infinitely adjustable jack stands. www.farmshow.com/a_article.php?aid=13187
Thanks sixtyfiveford, appreciate the link.

Good luck man - waiting, watching and enjoying your adventures! Chuck in Kansas
A gear kit can be had online. If memory serves me correctly the toyota uses threaded main cups. Get some marking lube and set it up!
you can get kits in higher gears but not stock, they are only availible from toyota, l tried, but l may have found what l was looking for
I've had good luck with www.ringpinion.com
It would be interesting to find out if there's some sort of lapping compound for gear teeth... so that the teeth can be repaired and smoothed again without replacing the whole part. Although if the dimentions are critical, it would require adjustment..
Love my '06, I'm hoping for 300k like my '93
Hey Mustie1, U gave that rear Ur best shot.... Did U check my area for the Toyota rear? About the caddy, does Ur camera have smell O vision?
Had no idea the rear diff cover rust through like that.. Got rust cars here but that is a first for me.
Been waiting on this vid for weeks! Awesome !!!!!!!
Harry Ireland I've been waiting for the vw double cab pick-up for almost a year

I always wonder if some shops in sunshine states would work on the cars from the salt belt area or just say get that thing outta here...
they would run fearing tetnus
I had a work truck worked on in Miami. It spent its whole life in NE Ohio. It took twice as long to have the repair done just because it was so rusty. They kept snapping bolts and what not.
This video makes me VERY happy to live in the snow-free South!
Me too. No way in hell would I trade our heat, humidity, and bugs for the damn road salt & cold ass weather up North. Vehicles down here that are 75 years old don’t look like that Tundra’s ass end.
That Cadilac at the end was priceless.... It had a Greatful Dead sticker on the side window. Proof that they are dead LOL

I'm not one for Toyota vehicles, but that is a pretty good lookin' truck.

Thank you for reminding me why I moved SOUTH!!!
Me too.
Howard White no Toyota?.;)
Gave up on rice burners in the 80s, tyvm.
Man! That housing looks like it was buried for fifty years! It's amazing what the salt and chemicals does to metal.
thinking the same thing. i have worked on chevy rears from the 70's that look brand new compared to that nasty thing!!!!
Early in the video he said the PO ran it until carrier was red hot. That burned off all of the paint, oil, etc that was protecting the casting. Once it cooled off it 'flash rusted' and then continued to rust after that to give it that lovely 'been in an ocean' finish.
like your videos!! you get stuff done.no excuses
when do you start on the Caddy???
Bigger Press...........Its a fix or break moment! My guess is you will be able to get it out with a bigger press.
Cut that bearing out with an oxy-acetylene cutting torch. You have nothing to lose. Then buy a ring and pinion set and new bearings. Third member type differentials are easy to setup on the bench. Are there aftermarket companies that sell third members or at least complete ring and pinion kits for Toyota like Richmond gears?
When you put the bolts back in use copper ease on the threads.
I can't deal with the smell of diff. oil, I find it nauseating. Good luck with it. Thanks for the video.
If you change it on time you won’t have that problem 💯
3 year old vid......Ya.....that outer pinion bearing is welded to the pinion. No amount of press will pop that free. I have had it happen twice .....both times I think it was a Toyota 8" 3rd and the solution was a cutting torch. Amazingly, I did not do any apparent damage to the carrier. In my cases, the 3rds were rebuild and nothing unusual was noted .
ZUK
how I hate those forced ads that you cant skip
Just a thought but why couldn't you take your plasma cutter and cut out the inners of the bearing and then get it apart. I ran into a similar case on a Ford 9 inch years ago, I cut away the bearing the oxy/act. torch and got it apart.
Going to give my daughters a rebuilt and custom brigs lawnmower for their house :)

its only good for up to 12 years, but tanks
Mustie1 I hoped I had enlightened you on something you weren't aware of. Love your vids!
holy crap, is that dusty old cars in Nashua? i went down there to look at an Opel GT. they let me in the warehouse... ive never seen so many cars in one place. Bumper to bumper door to door throughout the entire building
Put a zip tie in the bolt hole on the side that you want the gears to go back into
Whoa! I need to get me a set of those jackstands!
I had a posi-lock put in my truck. I prefer that over a limit slip.
Is the rust from the salt on the roads? You guessed it, I'm from the South.
Not necessarily. Toyota had a problem on some of the tundras with the undersides rusting out prematurely. My 2000 has some rust starting but I will spray it with a rust converter and stop it from going farther.
I have a 2000 Toyota Tundra hell of a truck
I'm at 408,008 miles on it runs great. Till my rear diff started slipping now I'm already taken pumpkin head out
I,m just wondering if I can change from limit slip to posi ???
The best use of that car at the end of the world be...a picture hanging on the wall.
Crud tighted?? Carnage?? It'll buff out?? lol . . . thanks ;) Rog
I should find you a Chinese page to order them;) They loves these cars.
The gears just got a little heat treated for extra hardness LOL. At the dealer those trucks used to eat up the spider gears, We changed a few. Can you get bearings for it? Think the axle bearings are toasted too?
Great lawn art there at the end. @ 31:10 is that what they use to call "Drag Pipes"?
Sir you talked about undercoating of the Used truck you bought off a older gentleman who was moving, what was the mixture I think you said kerosene and…. ?
Replace bearings. Re assemble and put thicker gear oil in it.
I rather suspect that both the diff and the Caddy are done... At least the Caddy has a future as spare parts though...
How much would it be to put 3.91's in the front and rear?
that might be my solution
There's not much difference in the ratio. Should get a little better mileage.
Might have to check the ABS sensors between the two.
I have a tacoma with 410 gears. very hard to find one at a reasonable price. Mechanic bought a parts truck just for the axle.
l got real lucky and got the whole 3rd member for $100 delivered from ebay,
My pini9n bearings has been whining for a couple years and 40k miles. I dont care theres no play in the shaft, and it hasnt gotten worst and the fluid looks perfect everydrain
So what killed that diff? Lack of oil?
So why not look at a service manual? But what would be the fun in that.... On a smaller scale, we used to call those "blown bearings" . No shrapnel, just burned out...
I don’t get it why you filmed at night time or you were in North Pole in the wintertime so the sun never came up.
Rebuild the third member. New ring and pinion and bearings. And clean housing and weld the holes. Freaking rites !!!!
only if it will come apart
Mustie1
I'm with you on blowing the bearing in pieces. If it doesn't allow enough room to allow race through , I bet a hot wrench can eliminate the race. I have a feeling you are a surgeon with the hot wrench. 😁😁😁😁
That'd be kinda cool, to just fix the 3rd member without having to buy the complete set. Plus it would make an awesome series of videos...which this is all about. I really hope there will be more Tundra (or other cars/motorcycles) vids to come.
Is this typical of this model of Toyota, or is it more prevalent in the cold-weather states which have to use a lot of salt on the roads?
Wow, look at the flex at the front of the bed.
When we had the conversion van, D went up from a 3.90 to a 4.10. If you go up, why can't you go down? Please tell me you didn't buy the Cadillac?
its four wheel drive so the front and rear have to match, the front is hard to change
Nice truck man
You sir need to an oxy torch to get that stuff loose.
those stands are genius
After you fix it maybe sandblasted the outside of it and paint it
make your own penetraing oil 50/50 atf and acetone works wonders look it up I put it in a spray bottle
I'd rather have those sand filled jack stands than the truck.
Costal WA salt air rusts all metal. If you drive on beach power wash frame and undercoat body. Rust from inside out. Of course they count air bags when doing body shop evaluation. Then and tires and frame. Then body panels. Are you going to learn Tesla drive train?
My 01 Ate spiders like a PEZ dispenser lol I feel your pain
