I have same year truck already had 4.56 gear. Pinion nut got loose and broke the ring and pinion. Bought new ring and pinion put the new bearings but when I torque the 4 bolts on the side for the ring nothing moves at all. Any idea what that might be causing that
How can you possible use "setup bearings"? How can you be sure your inner bearing is EXACTLY the same as your new permanent inner bearing? I understand it makes shim selection very easy, but a slight variation in the new bearing vs. the set up bearing will invalidate your shim selection.
If you are not sure they are exactly the same you will need to accurately measure both, then compensate for it when you select your shim. The difference is usually under .002" even for a lightly worn bearing, but if you find your set up bearing is off by more than that it would be time for a new one.
Thank you for your question! Unfortunately I have not had the chance to work on the rear end in question. Certain aspects of the process would most likely mirror one another, however there would be varying aspects where things could be very different as well. Hard question to answer without having the rear gear and spec sheet in front of me.
Great video. Awesome POV. You made it look so easy. How long did this actually take you to do the rear? And how long for the front?
Partnumber for setup bearings?
Now that is some forklift! Lol good stuff dude
Thanks for watching!

What’s the price for the job?
Got a dead cylinder on the forklift
Where you located I got one needing the same thing
How many pounds you torque the bolts ?
would this be the same as ram 5500
