I'm wondering how many people have done this install and blown out their gears down the road. In my experience if you pull that retaining nut on the pinion you have to replace the crush washer and reset your ring and pinion completely to maintain the same backlash as re-torquing the already crushed crush washer changes the backlash.....
I would love to not have to but it just doesn't feel right taking the pre-load off the pinion and then just magically expecting it to stay the same with an already crushed washer while torquing into place...
Luke O Just removing the nut isn’t tearing into the gearset. I would venture to guess that it was not set up properly to begin with if it came that loose and it messed up positioning by only taking that nut off.
@@iadventureutube Very possible it was factory loaded and started having problems at 32k miles so at that point I went OX lockers and 4.88's so I'd not like to be spending that kind of mony to replace those.... better safe than holding a $1800 gear bill

Luke O Maybe you have different experiences but with my 15 years of experience, there is no need to reset the gears.
@@iadventureutube okay, I just know that last time I tore into my gear set like that everything got replaced, crush washer, shims, bearings, ect.

Did you experience any vibrations following the install?
I might have missed it but did you drain your front and rear diff of fluid before you started?
so this is a must when lifting?
did you have to add any fluid when done?
Cardan... for the love of god, the word is "cardan."
+atrizzy seriously if he calls it a fancy sweater one more time my head might explode
Hahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahahah!
What size for socket 22mm or ?
Why add the silicone to the inside of the flange installed at the rear differential and transfer case?
to stop the diff fluid from escaping up the splines I believe.
Great video nice
whats the background song that is used in this video and thanks that was helpful :D
Was it just me or did you guys cringe every time he said cardigan?
I cringe as well. CARDAN!! I made the video and laugh ever time I remember that mistake lol.
+Troy Tertany it would be hilarious if you edited the word Cardan in there over the audio. Like a machine voice. 😂
The size of nut flang 30 mm or ????
Its a "cardan" joint, not a "cardigan" joint. It's a coupling, not a sweater.
Hope you never have to remove that flange with that red lock tight.
PULL OVER! No its a cardan but thanks for asking!
I saw what you did there. :)
Cardan, its not a Sweater
lol a double sweater
