To everyone who said I forgot to measure "gear lash" while reinstalling the diff: THANK YOU! I had no idea I was supposed to. Unfortunately I don't have time to fix that mistake before the drift event so we're gonna have to hope I got lucky... in the meantime can someone please link me to a good tutorial on how to measure and adjust gear lash so I can fix it asap when I get home? Thank you! ❤
Tons of youtube videos on in particularly from offroad type channels since ratio changing is more common offroading than drifting or street driving unless youre a drag racer
Its always a good idea to check backlash but with a ford oem limited slip and your old shims the backlash will be set properly. At least it was in my case and i have an Explorer Sport Trac so same axle setup.
The friction modifier is for the clutches IN the LSD. Hence the "slip" you might feel in normal driving, and the engagement while trying to keep power equal to each wheel. Also, I wouldn't recommend driving it without lashing the gears. Even if its "close enough" to spec, its not spec. It will definitely explode if you put power through it, especially if you upset the driveline while sliding sideways.
You adjust backlash by adding or removing shims from either side of the carrier bearings between bearings and housing. the perfered amount of backlash on a 8.8 is - .012-.015. yukon gear and axle has some good videos. also tooth pattern is important aswell.
It is crazy how far gingium has come! Like 2 years ago, he was installing bolt in turbos on a Miata and now he’s custom fabbing front suspension on a drift truck! He’s come along way and it’s amazing that how young he is, he knows so much about the automotive world
Great job Caleb! The Drift truck has come a long way and continues to evolve weekly. I am enjoying your content on the channel and interactions with everyone involved. As always we are proud of your achievements! Best wishes as you continue moving forward and Peace Out!
I don’t claim to be an expert, but I don’t think hearing a bearing with a torch is a great idea. Toaster oven is okay, torch is bad. You really want to heat it evenly, else you risk uneven wear and in turn will wear out the bearings faster. Other than that you did awesome. I think you unintentionally did it but it’s a good idea that your charcoal canister is below the opening of your fuel filler neck. Not a stock ECU but it’s still good for emissions and even the fact you kept one on the car amazes me. Good guy Gingium.
I dont know a lot of rear ends, but I was under the impression you had to shim something when you installed a new carrier. Something about to make sure everything meshes correctly? Keep up the good vids! Love the truck
Everybody is talking about the gear lash. But installing a harness bar and straps isn’t a great idea either unless you have a HANS device. The three point was designed to save your neck and back if you don’t have a HANS device. If you’re strapped in with dual harnesses, and you get hit, your body isn’t gonna move but your head is. I’d be careful Caleb.
I love how Gingium has the balls to just rip into things. Like yeah he didn't install the new diff with quite the right steps but he also didn't sit around afraid he wasn't going to do it correctly.
Seeing the underside of all your vehicles makes me grateful we don't have to salt our roads in NZ.. but being so close to the coast and having salt spray isn't as the best either.
measuring “gear lash” is essentially trial and error. there are shims between the carrier and the housing on both sides and between the pinion and the backside of the pinion bearing. you should get gear paint, put paint on the ring gear, and then rotate the assembly to see where the ring and pinion mesh together. ideally, you get an even wear mark on the paint marks, meaning that the pattern is even on the front and back side of the teeth of the gears, and that it’s in the middle of the gear. if it’s off, you have to tear the whole thing down again and add/move/switch shims from each side to move the carrier left/right and the pinion in/out. you can also measure shims with a micrometer to make sure everything is 1000% perfect, but if the gear paint shows a good pattern it should be fine. (i work at an off-road fabrication shop and ford 8.8s with lockers are a popular jeep swap)
Not suppose to heat new bearings may as well put the old ones back in. And like you said in your comment there is no need to set backlash as long as the shims go back in the same place
Shims go between the carrier and the bearing to get the proper setup on the gears. Usually you need a set of setup bearings to get the shims right and good bearings for final install. Just saying. Truck looks good
Honestly if you can’t get a press, make one out of a 20 ton harbor freight bottle jack, 2 tension coil springs for return, and make a frame out of some I beams. Do some tests to calibrate the table to make sure it’s completely flat, than you’re good to go.
Ive been watching your channel since the forza days and recently i went back to some old videos when you first starting workin on cars. First thing i noticed was how weird it was seeing you with hair again 😂😂
I built an lsd 8.8 for the rear of my jeep and I never had to beat my axle shafts in like that. Kinda makes me wonder if something is right with yours & definitely check gear backlash. It can ruin your gears or make them loud
I love these drift truck videos but man, you really need to do a bit of googling before you do some of these things. I do a lot of work with gearboxes and bearings, so that diff centre install made me uncomfortable lol
The reason the driveshaft is harder to turn could be many reasons but with my limited knowledge on differentials is probably because you didn't set preload (witch sucks since it is tedious) but it also could be the bearings needing a break in period
You may have issues with axle wrap if you're only on leaf springs while drifting. also is the clutch retracting properly? It should push your pedal to where it should be
tbh i found this channel because i youtubed about being bald. im started balding when i was young. I watched the video of you shaving your hair off. How do you feel now about it?
im not one to speak on the matter as im not loosing hair.. but I made up my mind a few years ago as when I start to bald id rather do it on my terms, thats just my mindset.. The try guys did a video about balding where they got caps and professional make up. maybe thats something you haven't checked out yet..
2011metalmaniac don’t be ashamed lol. Own it. While it’s a bit rare, people shave their hair just to do it for style. Share that mindset. It’s just a different style. Gingium started balding and decided to just shave it off to end it on his own terms. He later said he likes this look way better. If other people are giving you a tough time for it it’s because they have their own problems they’re worried about. If you’re confident with it, nobody can give you shit. Main thing though is to just not care all that much what people might think.
Correct me if I’m wrong but I think heating up the bearing didn’t help since the metal is expanding the space in the middle is getting smaller, I think it would’ve helped if you put it in the freezer
When you re installed the thermostat, did you make sure the little dimple on the face was in the same spot? (I believe 12 degrees to the left of top center) if not, it wont work properly.
Did you put the shims from the old carrier between the new bearing in the new carrier there's a little small shim that she ends the band away from the carrier a little bit just a question
You want to freeze the bearing and heat the shaft im sure that vearing is all metal but im still sure you weakened it with that much heat and also dropping it while its soft but idk hopefully im wrong
No but in all seriousness he probably could've but it would've been more complicated, Ging & Co. are more mechanically inclined rather than electrically gifted
well it looks like you didn't do the messing right on your gears if you didn't check it so I guess we'll see how long that rear end last have fun with it

Will do, thank you!

Drift truck is probably the most insane vehicle gingium has ever made
Noobs with Gaming the panda was pretty lit, but that wasn’t done properly so the drift truck is like insane because it’s so original
Noobs with Gaming rally miata?
nah, the rally miata was more insane when he built it. he pioneered the idea, other people caught on and started making them too
TheDennisShow rally miata is made with uh easy stuff and bigger wheels. I like the rally miata just nothing compared to the drift truck.
@@corey0189 yeah, it wasn't that difficult to make but it was definitely crazier just because of the concept itself
Damn Pasha got those wired air pods??? Flexin'
You're just mad because you couldn't afford the wire
Commoners only wear those

noooooooooo you used a torch to heat the bearing up, thats highly frowned upon & is dangerous!!!

hey gingium ! love your videos. did you ajust the backlash of the gear ? if not.....your gear wont last long....just saying. take care
That could be his issue why it's hard to turn.
NOPE. Had no idea I was supposed to... whoops.
Can someone link me to a good tutorial on how to do that?
Also. If your hitting 198 coolant temp on a straight pull your going to have over heating issues drifting. Less air flow through rad while sideways
@@patricpurcell2674 true but if the drift event is going to be freezing he might be fine
This is my fav build on YT right now.. So dope. And just want to acknowledge how far your fab work has come over the past year!
Good shit my guy
This is one of the best videos you have ever made. It is long, interesting and entertaining. I realy enjoyed!

Do you think when he gets to 1 million subs he will bolt that vice down?
Nope. He likes to live dangerously. Lol
i had a really bad day and now i´m so happy that you released a video thanks Gingium keep it up.
Love the content Caleb keep it up man! Been here since “Built or Bought” on forza

Your suppose to shim it so that the gears mesh evenly.
He didn't do it. I guarantee he will have ring and pinion problems
@@RyanBoyce57 yup he should at least put paint on the ring gear and check how it meshes. To see if its atleast close

Probably your greatest build. Every time you upload it’s smooth sailing. Keep it up! 👍🏽
Yup, watching you video is much better then studying for my exam on Friday... 👍
My girlfriend is the same way😂 she watches RUclips rather than studying for her exams in college😒
Same here homie got a assignment due soon

check and make sure you meshed the lsd and the gears for the rear end correctly.

Nicely done, it would look good if you had a guage pod on the A pillar.
You know you should have checked the diff backlash and adjusted as required.
Wow lots of progress in this one! Looking good.
Does Pasha do his own laundry? Working on cars in a bright shirt and new shoes :D that’s a dirt magnet!
Another trick you can try putting those bearings on is put the lsd in the freezer it will shrink the steel an the bearing will slide over it
sweet video. drift truck upgrades for days
He cals is a clutch type LSD but all I see is a metal spring in between the spider gears. The clutch type LSD I know had a multi disc clutch.
You might want to get Water resistant covers for that filter so you don’t get any water in the fuel tank
Ive been watching your channel since the forza days and recently i went back to some old videos when you first starting workin on cars. First thing i noticed was how weird it was seeing you with hair again 😂😂
2:15 look at the dadson or the Dotson u c the new rims and tires
PS I know it's probably in purpose cuz look at how far out that r
When you're tapping into something you don't want the shavings to fall into you can put grease on the tap and it should catch most of the chips.
5:38 don’t you have to use a measuring tool to make it perfectly lined up?
I was wondering if anyone else would mention checking lash with a dial indicator.
i gotta say those diy gauge pods look super nice, i really like them
Dropping shit like Linus.

I love these drift truck videos but man, you really need to do a bit of googling before you do some of these things.
I do a lot of work with gearboxes and bearings, so that diff centre install made me uncomfortable lol
Yo did you flush coolant after? There is still metal in coolant if you didnt. A very potential problem

You could do a four link suspension or, you could do some old skool ladder bars, would get rid of the mad wheel hops
bruh Pasha flexin SO HARD. Love it
The wheels for the Dadsun look amazing!!!!
The reason the driveshaft is harder to turn could be many reasons but with my limited knowledge on differentials is probably because you didn't set preload (witch sucks since it is tedious) but it also could be the bearings needing a break in period
Love you Gingium!
The adventure bus is. Coolest vehicle he has also the rally miata
I love your videos keep em coming
Add a bed cover
He is the first person who doesnt practice drifting before a drift event.... HE IS A PRO
You may have issues with axle wrap if you're only on leaf springs while drifting. also is the clutch retracting properly? It should push your pedal to where it should be
That truck sounds angry. Awsome. Can't wait to see you kill the tires at the event.
When RUclips stop sending you gingium notifications, so you binge watch like 4 months of vids in a couple hours
man,the truck sounds nasty

I liked the fact that the vacuum has the same tone as the background music.
we want the drift truck at the dyno
next time check gear lash with a grease pen lol pattren should be even shim until it is
i think its too tight owo
Where do the shims go? In between the races and the housing to move the carrier left and right?
i cant give evrything away :p@@_Gingium_
7:12 scared the crap out of me
Lol at the Gingium derpface whenever he drives
The V8 sounds so good.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I think heating up the bearing didn’t help since the metal is expanding the space in the middle is getting smaller, I think it would’ve helped if you put it in the freezer
Please put a small custom like alluminum half cover over the charcoal canister cover so that water dosent work it way into your tank

When you re installed the thermostat, did you make sure the little dimple on the face was in the same spot? (I believe 12 degrees to the left of top center) if not, it wont work properly.
Why did you leave the wheel speed tone wheel off the new carrier? Did it not come off with the old one? Also don't use a torch on bearings.

You got a Ford 8.8 rear end out of 4wheel drive explorer,Ranger

Could you not have just connected the coolant temp gauge to the ECU?
