I’ve had my commons second GEN 1999. Second generation. Never had a problem with the rear end if differential. I check it regularly to make sure. That 2012 I’m shocked that they would be a problem usually those rear end differential’s are super heavy duty.
Pinion bearing failure the sounds comes in too early to be side bearings. But no matter. Replace both Pinion and both side bearings set crush collar to 25 to 30 in lbs rolling torque.
I was told that you should not tow anything or max out the GVW for 500 miles to break in the rear end. Some people are buying a new truck and immediately putting it into hotshot service
It's totally fine.. all that stuff is made to run. The only thing that really needs to break in are the rings in the engine, even those don't even need a break in period nowadays. That truck probably had a nicked bearing or something when it was installed.
Different builders have Different thoughts on how break in should go. I come from the school of thought run it hard it's first few miles. It'll work if built right . I haven't been wrong yet.
This video reminds me of when i had too rebuild my trucks differential twice.... it went out like 2 months after the first rebuild because i forgot too put fluid back in it🤣☺️
really? I'm sorta surprised. Not many long time mechanics would know how to tackle such a job but I'm 99% certain they would not omit such a critical step. So sorry for your loss...of concentration. Damn, who am i to talk...done lots of idiot things in the shop. Carry on. Its a courageous man who admits fault and a foolish man is one who struggles with truth.
Rear end maintenance is so important. I have a 2014 3500 Cummins 3.42 gears. It has pulled a 20k trailer for 110k miles. We changed gear oil every 30-50k miles. When every it got dark. Had that bearing failure just like that 5k after serving. Cost almost 10k to fix. When it went it took out rack pinion gear set exploded took out axial witch then took out axial ears in pumpkin. It sucked..
Same with my car. Bearings wore out and tons of shavings in my diff. It’s making a slight howl now. Just spent 1k for new diff for it. 88k miles on it…
My 2014 Ram 3500 had a rear end issue. Leaky pinion seal. It needed new bearings and seals. Only got 415,000 miles out of the originals. 5000 miles on the "new" rear end. All is well.
I just did the 30k service on the CVT on my wife's Mitsubishi Mirage G4. It's funny because the manual has two separate service schedules (like most cars) you got the normal service schedule and the severe service schedule. It goes without saying all the cars I've owned I've always followed the severe service schedule since I'm in NJ and the temps here go from 100°F to 0°F and I do a lot of short trip driving and I also use the car for ride sharing as a side hustle. Point is, with 30k miles on the odometer when I removed the transmission pan, it has two round (removable) magnets that sit in the bottom of the pan, those collect the really fine steel shavings, when you clean them it's like a grey paste. The fluid itself wasn't too bad for the miles. After I drained the catch pan to measure the fluid I removed, at the bottom there were little pieces of metal flakes, but that's normal wear in these setups, this is why y'all don't want a CVT vehicle, maybe Toyota's CVTs are made better than the rest but still. Don't know how long this transmission will last with proper maintenance but being that the car cost her $14k brand new in 2020, if that CVT grenades I don't think it's worth getting it rebuilt/replaced by that time, I told her to start looking at other cars already. 😆
@@camberwellcarrot420 The one in the Mirages is a Jatco unit although I've read that this unit was reworked to be more reliable for the Mirage, don't know how true that is but I since my wife really liked the car I still could have vetoed the purchase but from an engineering standpoint, the car is so light, and the 3 cylinder lawnmower engine is so weak I had a hunch that since the CVT won't be pushed so hard it should last a bit longer than a CVT in say, an SUV with a tow hitch.
Toyota cvt is a good unit. My wife’s 2012 Highlander hybrid has 270,000 miles and never any issues except a wheel bearing hub which wasn’t hard to change. Easy to maintain everything. It will be for sale soon. Have a new Rav 4 hybrid coming.
I told him when he was towing my gooseneck camping trailer that if it broke off the hitch I wasn't paying for nothing I'm just out a grand for the trailer. Stretching gooseneck out like that racing cars. I am glad. On and off the throttle
That era of Cummins has a issue with hub seals. I had to have one replaced on mine at 6,000 miles just the same seal again myself at 100,000 miles. They will slowly seep into the E-brake drum and burn up so you won’t see the leak. Unless the customer knows what gear oil smells like it’s hard to detect. I would suspect this was the cause at some point and they ran it low on fluid.
That's a Great sign of modern manufacturing if something is that new and already needs a rear end put in it, my 73 3/4 ton Chevy still has it's original stuff in it. What happened to quality manufacturing? I guess like all Big companies it's not about quality anymore.
Yup a failure to change that differential fluid as required in that maintenance manual. I had to change mine within the first 2000 miles of that warranty would probably get voided.
I keep seeing people say “100k” is worn out. My truck is an 84 😂 570k miles and counting. It wore out at 500k, now it’s just oil leaking into the cylinders and losing oil pressure. Didn’t happen till 500k.. it’s a work horse
Dodge diesel rear ends have been junk for years….spewing oil from axle seals. Chicago Rawhide made single lip, double and triple lip seals. Dealerships tried to cover it up. Engineer at DANA Axle revealed the problem to me (their fault)…and said only fix was to install Speedi-sleeves on axle…..I bought a Tundra and never looked back.
Bearings made of Chinesium + sub par fluid + heat + long distances + not servicing it regularly. Get a Banks cover and the Ames oil package they offer BEFORE this happens. These rear diffs run HOT 🔥🔥🔥.
You took the rear hubs off before you took a diff cover off..why? It can only be a few things when it comes to noise in the rear end. With that many miles only it’s either the front pinion bearing is toasted or the carrier bearings and race are pitted from overloading. You can also tell what bearing is bad by simply driving. If it’s noisy on the start then it’s pinion, if it’s at later speeds 25/30+ then it’s carrier. If it’s growling in decel then the coast is toast. Wasted time taking a hub apart if it never needed to be taken off. But I don’t know what’s on the invoice so correct me if I’m wrong.
Man just had an issue on an 07 ram 1500. The pin in the spider gears started sliding up and down hitting the pinion gear due to cross bolt shearing. Now it's stuck and unable to get out to repair. So welded in place and put back together!! Sux. Now ordering new Axle,,2k+ 🙄
@@nikobellic3526 who knows I've had ford's dodge and gm and so far in my experience gm makes the best I have 3 dually trucks at the moment all gm duramax with the Allison and one of them I have over 750k miles original motor and trans trucks been great but everyone has there own experience with different trucks for me gm has been good and that's what I buy
Ford and Dodge don't actually make these HD rear ends. Ford uses Sterling and GM/Dodge use AAM. Sometimes you get a dud and that is the way it goes. Maybe the bearings were not hardened properly, maybe it was run low on oil, over heated or the guy was hammering on it. Who knows? I personally have never had to do anything to differentials in all of my vehicles. I have had Chevy, Isuzu, Ford and Toyota. All used for work, towing and off road. I just change the oil.
Not really. It's a very simple repair we do them all the time and never have issues. It is a very common problem for dodge trucks though. People don't service the fluid enough.
It's always pinion bearings on a Dodge. So of course you have to change all the bearings and all the races. Check the gears make a decision if they're still good.
I bought a 1994 Dodge 4x4 with a Cummins. The goddamned getrag transmission crapped out at 64,000 miles. Dealer replaced it with a rebuilt trans under warranty! As soon as I got it back it started leaking. They replaced it again. They bought the truck back from me after my lawyer tore into them!
Crazy how an 80k truck sounds like that. My 140k 21-year-old ranger is still on the original diff and still kicking like new guess that's what to expect from a Snodge! My buddy bought the 4wd EcoDiesel a 2021 and the Motor lost all compression on his way to work the other day truck barely had 10k miles on it and the motor is blown 60k dollar truck I'm like why do you buy stuff like this I told him if you gonna buy a Dodge not that I recommend it but if you do buy the 1997 model with the Cummings in it the motor and Trans in that year will outlive the Apocalypse motor and trannies in the 97 Cummings models the interior and exterior will just about be gone but those motors and trannies would run it down to just frame lol!
Can any of you throw any light on this? i have a 1998 Discovery 1, flew through the MOT and has always been fine except today, I was driving about 15 mph in a busy area and then a horrendous crash, bang like crashing cymbals and something had fell off like the back axle. Obviously I stopped immediately and expected to see half my vehicle on the road but absolutely nothing! No wArning, rumble, click, clack. It just did it! Looked underneath it, nothing hanging off etc, donut fine and it wasn’t a donut noise anyway but I had a look. Props all on and I have had those fall off before and it sounded nothing like this racket. Long story short, drove the 10 miles back home with no other noises except the last 20 feet or so to my place and it did it again but not as loud, more like a crashing of a huge pair of cymbals! I have been told it may be the rear diff gone but I’m lost on this one as theres no difference sound, or driving wise to the vehicle. That first noise was so loud it crashed louder than the music I was playing. Second time it definitely sounds like something slipping down, metallic, aluminium sound.. Thanks!
I'm so old... I remember when a 100,000 miles was worn out
me too
hell now a days 100k is practically break in for most trucks.

Did they have one of those big goofy aftermarket diff covers on it? Those things eliminate the oil flow over the ring gear to the pinion.
