Just wanted to say thanks for making this video. Over 3 years old and the video helped me while swapping the diff on my GX470.
Life Saver! Finally re-gearing my truck after running my rear ring and pinion smooth. Saved me 1700 in removal and install cost. Decided to have diffs rebuilt professionally as I frequently travel outside the US and my vehicle is a lifeline. Thanks a Mil!!!
Glad it helped! thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
Probably one of the most helpful channels about Tacomas on RUclips! Thanks for sharing all your DIY adventures and keep up the the awesome work. 👍
Thanks for the kind words brother and thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
@@KFloTacoma I have a lot of respect for DIYers. I especially gained a lot from your LCA caster/alignment vid. It helped a ton! Saving this vid as well for future reference. 😎👍
@@KFloTacoma I didn't hear the company that you send the differential to in exchange for a housing full of new 4.88 gears
Lol, the squished gopher sound effects when taking the full weight of that diff was priceless! Looking forward to the next installment of this job.
LOL that was to hide my cussing
@@KFloTacoma ..Yeah after awhile I hear this squeaking, squishing sound and now I know. If it was me..which it was years ago the neighbors would know right away I was under my 77 Chev..4x4. I subscribed to your channel because of not for what you were showing but because I felt sorry for you...yeah that's right sorry but in the end you remind me of me back when I was under and no help either...but a good thing is we wanted to do it and learn. It's a good thing to help other people. Now I have a 2017 Tacoma 4x4 OR dbl cab longbed.. auto and I'm going for 4.88s because of traveling on road to get to a lot of offroad...yeah I have weight but beefed up deavers with 33s and Kings all around with bumpstops.camberg uppers...winch, front CBI alum and rear split steel highrise bumper..if you get a skid plate..make it steel...also shell because my lady and I aren't climbing to go too sleep in the upper deck...when I hear people say "in the woods" then I think..Oh God..! I know you're from the east coast..I'm on the west coast and a lot of land to have fun on out here for sure...anyway enough of my rant...OBTW...that 77 Chev that I had..I was 23 when I bought that and 46 when I sold it...325,000 on original 350 V8..just changed the timing chain.. rebuilt the transfercase is all...Now I'm 63 and still having fun...Take care and be safe...

Great video KFlo, The "take a break" and walk away when you start to get fustraited is very good advise. When you go back to it, you see it in a different way. I noticed you use 4 jack stands I often use 4 also but here is a tip I got from a shop teacher in High school many years ago, put the wheels you have taken off one each side under the frame rails towards front or back out of your way if for some reason your stand or stands fail the truck will land with frame rails on the wheels.
Thanks for the tips and for watching and supporting the channel! Also, cheers bud! I appreciate the beer fund donation!
@@KFloTacoma Hi Kflo. Im watching all your videos, I have 2010 Toyota Tacoma manual 6 speed 4x4. I have some issues with brakes. Pedal is so hard to push. Scan tool showing 2 fault codes C-1246, and C-1253. Is this possible to fix?
great series on the gears. this was invaluable to me removing and installing a new front diff. I can't wait to get the new 488s broken in. THANKS!
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
Thanks bro. Your not kidding about not finding info on the front differential.
Yea, it definitely took some researching and studying the diagrams before I tackled this job. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
@@KFloTacoma Your welcome KFlo. I subscribed to your channel yesterday. :) You do a terrific job. I'm trying to figure out my passanger side, I have a slow leak. I replaced the oil seal 2 times. I bought a new cv axle for it In june last year, and I bought a new one again and. I'm trying to figure out what's wrong I have no movement when I shake the cv axle on the passenger side. I fixed my drivers side , the need bearing was worn out . I bought the ECBS bushing, no leaks now. . Actually one question if you dont mind KFlo. The oil seal on the passanger side if it's not hammered in properly . Like a hair to far in. Would gear oil pass through the center hole of the oil seal and leak out?
To answer your question, it shouldn't leak if it's just a hair further in. That oil seal has a spring that keeps it tight around the axle shaft and that whole bearing surface is pretty long. Did you cleanup the internal surface where that seal sits in? Also, did you use wheel bearing grease on the inside of that oil seal before sliding in the cv axle?
I always buy the parts for a mechanical project and think about it for a few weeks or months and one day I just get to wrenching and I can get it done pretty fast
Yea, I usually try to plan it out as best as I can as well
Braddah! Will be doing this exact gear setup from east coast gear supply! Really appreciate the informative videos! Mahalo kflo!!
Glad to help! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
My logic: bought a 2011 Taco with 191 on the clock, for 12k, as my first truck. Minimal rust, it's a gorgeous truck. The driver side needle bearing needs replaced with the 8" clamshell bushing from ecgs. I've tried 4 times, and I couldn't get the CV axle out. I've beat it like crazy. Since it's high mileage, it wouldn't surprise me if the passenger side diff bearing is on its way out too, therefore, why not get a new (to me) front diff, and put the clamshell in that, and get new cvs axles🤷♂️. To me that's the easiest way
You can certainly go that route if you're sticking to stock gears. This video series shows the easier way to regear the front and rear gears
Watching this makes me wanna pay someone. Ha ha.
Definitely not a beginner job! thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
Thank you so much for all the work you do!!
you da man broski!
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel! You're the man!
Sup Kflo!! Thank you for your videos. I just picked up an 08 Taco and need to replace the clutch. I just watched most of your how to replace that clutch, but I couldn't find or maybe I missed how to bleed the clutch master. Do you have a vid on it? Thanks.
That's actually lumped with the brake bleeding video, so you can check that out at: ruclips.net/video/qxjtRA2SzzY/видео.html&ab_channel=KFloTacoma
@@KFloTacoma Thanks.
Great video. Is there a reason why you went 4.88, instead of 5.29? Subscribed 🙌🏼
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel bro. I would recommend watching part 1 of the regearing series i actually go in the mathematical details of the torque in the manual vs automatic and how manual has a higher torque output due to the gearing. I have a manual transmission and the 4.88 gears already puts out way more torque than the automatic 5.29 gears
Hello- I have a 2015 Tacoma 4x4. Is everything here the same? Thanks
Yes
Hey kFlo, are you able to reference the video that you mentioned at 21:15? One that dirt nation off-road did when installing the diff back in or whatever?
Are you filipino? Btw great content thanks for sharing it that’s really tough filming this type of work.
yessireee. Pinoy born in the philippines. Yea, definitely a lot of work filming and setting up proper camera angles
Hi there, this setup can apply on tundra 2nd gen?
Wassup kababayan i know im already deep overdue on a gears upgrade lol since i already installed a 35s on my 07 tacoma dcsb sr5 V6 automatic my next plan is to install a maxtrax spindles to hopefully clear the front tires ^w^ my question about the gearing if my taco is auto not a 4WD do i have to replace both or just the back?
You only have to replace the rear. You don't have a front diff
@@KFloTacoma i knew it lol but just gotta ask one more time thanks bro love your channel keep up the good work.
You got it bro, good luck and thanks for supporting the channel!
When you were dropping the diff, why didn’t you use the trolley jack to support the weight??
The rear end of the diff had to be raised while the front was twisted downwards. It was at around a 60 degree angle which was too steep for the trans jack
I wish I would have watched this video before doing my gears. I may have forgotten the stub shaft so now everything has to come out again..
Big oof bro. Good luck.
Can you please help me re-gear my Taco? 🙂🙂🙂
I'm helping with these videos 😉
I want do my gears on my 2017, mine is. 2wd with rear locking diff all stock would 4.88 help with the gear hunting?
Do you have manual or Automatic? Is it 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder? Doing gears would help regardless. It's just a matter of picking the right gear combo
Do you have to change the front diff gears when you do the rear? Or can I just do the rear for now?
Do you still have the old diff?
No, the diff was mailed to ECGS as part of the core swap purchase
Yo K-- did you get a new grill? Did I miss that video??
I'm not sure if I did a dedicate grill replacement video, it may be lumped with the light system. I'll have to try to remember though LOL
@@KFloTacoma no worries. I remember that video. I'm looking to replace my grill as well. Trying to get all the chrome off my truck and go all black.
Yea, I just double checked, the first vid I have with the new grill is lumped with the light system video. The work itself is pretty straight forward. It was only a few bolts / plastic clips around the perimeter. It looks like amazon no longer sells that grill but I did find this link: toyotaproshop.store/collections/frontpage/products/05-11-tacoma-trd-pro-grill which looks similar to what I have.
@@KFloTacoma Thanks man, I did finish my workbench so once the weather warms up-- Taco mods are a'comin! My garage is like 40 deg right now.
I have a ? My tacoma SR5 has the 16in rims, do you know if I can used a bigger tires with the same 16in rims
Yes, just make sure the wheel diameter for the new tires are R16
