Nice job! You left out the part where I (as in me specifically) have to re shim it 7 times before it’s right and I have yellow paint in so many places I look like a body paint canvas. 😂😂😂
I wish you would do a full video on this. I'm getting ready to do my 2012 jeep wrangler. Never messed with a diff before. I've watched so many videos on it. I feel confident.
I went on your website and like that 2dr Wrangler Rubicon build, Game Changer 2.5, 5:13 gears beadlocks 37s I have a 2023 2dr Wrangler Rubicon and was wondering what is the cost of that build including labor?
My old gears have started binding and at a repeatable point (every 7th turn of pinion, 7.17 gears) they have 0 backlash. 3 pinion turns the backlash is big... What could cause this? Getting ready to rebuild....
Question, how much does something like this cost? Got an 06 ram 3500 with 4.10 or 11 gears that needs a knockdown to 3.73 for better mileage. This 4. Whatever gear is EATING dead dinosaurs man.
Hey quick question for you. If I was just to switch out the ring and gear do nothing else, would that change up the way the shims need to be placed? I’m looking to re gear my NA miata and need to know more about how this works
That's always going to be your base line for a new gear setup, but you need to check the pattern of how the pinion is meshing with the ring gear, the space between ring gear and pinion (backlash) and how tight the bearings on the pinion are (preload). You'll need some specialize tools to do this like a dial indicator and inch-lb torque wrench, but they're not incredibly expensive. The main thing is the amount of time that goes into this, and doing it your first time will take 10x longer
Yes you will have to reshim everything but do yourself a favor and get an extra inner pinion bearing and grind the inside of it so it just slides over the pinion gear this way you can assemble the diff without the pinion seal and crush sleeve to get your pinion depth right on. Be careful when tightening the pinion nut on setup as you can easily over tighten without the crush sleeve. Any time you change components gears,carriers you are going to have to re shim.
@@tscustomstation ... did GM rears for many years and 9 times out of 10 the pinion shim didn't change but the side shims on the carrier seem to be a different story. IOW, the pinion depth was ok, but the backlash and preload were off.
@@rupe53 yeah if your just replacing bearings your shims should be very close. If you replace gear sets and stay the same ratio you can get away with the same pinion shim however if you change gear ratios you will have to reset pinion depth because the actual size of the gear has changed.
@@tscustomstation ... in reality, both gear sizes change with a ratio change. Guess I have been lucky and starting with the original pinion shim got me where I wanted to be. Changing a whole carrier usually needs a minor change of side shims. If you do enough of a given model you will have a box full of spares to choose from to get your backlash and preload. My last job (before retirement) was a fleet of Chevy Astro vans. IOW, all old school and straight forward.
Pretty sure that looks like a Dana 60 axle. Not very knowledgeable on tearing down truck axles but can usually identify them. It's one of a few things I never did myself. Lifts, exhaust, engine rebuild. Replacing Coil spring towers in my cheap 80-96 F150s. I've owned 6 bcuz I kept finding them under 1500 running. Lmao
@@MountZionOffroad Wow, thanks for the update. Curious what vehicles would have come with the Sterling? I've heard of them but can't remember seeing many. That's cool and kind of different.
@@markbremmer8642 Thanks for the information. I'm sure they are using as rear axle but do you know if certain models are putting it upfront with. Finding new model trucks with solid front axles is really rare so many have IFS.
Why every one on every single comment have to mention “torque wrench “ my father was a master mechanic , now he is 92 years old , since he was 16 years old , cars , trucks , industrial machinery that was his las job until he was 77 , never saw the guy using a torque wrench, never have a vehicle returned or piece of machinery fell apart ! So , what?
Grant has set up literally thousands of differentials. The torque spec most are looking for is pinion preload, but when working with a crush sleeve design it can be done by feel by an extremely experienced tech who does 5-6 axle re-gears a week. He is using a micrometer to check shim thicknesses, checking pattern, and backlash. He sets the caps with a torque wrench on the final install. We 100% guarantee our work, and have an outstanding reputation. If you're worried about a crush sleeve pinion preload torque spec, I hope I've helped explain away that concern.
@@halleffect1 ... I much prefer to set pinion drag with a torque wrench. No questions that way. I also set trany bands with a torque wrench. No second guessing.

I ain’t joking. For me…. That paint is worse than anti-seize.
@@matthewdorsett9446 me too man, me too.
Last set of Nitro’s I did in a Cruiser came out pretty painless. Other than I nicked the pinion seal on one.

@@richierich1169 I feel you on that, my false confidence is through the roof but I’m gonna try it anyways😂
Great pro work on that diff,perfect rebuild,well done.
you look like you've done that job a time or two and it looks like you got it whipped, my man nice work.
I will build transmissions all day long, but I hate differential work.
Looks great! Why do you scale the ring gear??
it's an induction heat plate to open up the ring gear so it drops right on the carrier
@@MountZionOffroad thanks for letting me know. That’s an ingenious idea!
Thank you for getting to the point. 👍
nice editing! great video!
Thank you!
14 bolt (if not it's either a Dana 60 or a sterling 10.5 from a super duty)

Just count his ugga duggas 😊
Out here debating whether i should tackle the ddiff on my 2000 W202 c230k. It'd be my first time doing anything diff related.

it's absolutely necessary if you do them frequently!
You and all your fancy tools
that right there would be a Ford 10.5” 2011 & Up rear axle
What’s the name of this shop 😮
same as the channel name
Beautiful work A+
Thank you very much!
I’m not sure why you would just use RTV sealant? Use the correct part, which is a gasket.
Whats the ratio?
Where is this located? How can you use their services? List of services? Thanks…..

it's a Sterling 10.5 in a F250
@@MountZionOffroad yeah i figured i wasnt close at all…. I was in a whole nother continent

What do it cost for this service
It depends on the axle, but for parts and labor on most full size truck axles it's about $1250-1350 per axle

Need some depth. Would fix that pattern and tighten your lash. ❤ good video tho
