- So in this video I’m pulling the front differential out of a 2004 Dodge ram 1500 I’ve done this job several times most of the time on the Dodge Dakota‘s and Dodge Durango‘s. It was pretty much the same except in this video and on this Dodge Ram I have to actually take the ball joint out of the upper control arm. And that is some really good stuff because I show you a super tip!! on how to remove it without destroying it.Also if you’re watching the video you’ll notice that I took out the torsion bar brace support. I really don’t think this was necessary but I did it prior to removing the ball joint upper control arm. With the hopes that I could pull the differential axles out without removing the wheels. That was unsuccessful. So I do not cover the torsion bar removal in the video. But it was only held in by 4 nuts and bolts. And you can simply pry it out from between the two of them. I hope the video was helpful God bless and have the best of days

On my truck ('06 Ram 1500 SLT 4x4 5.7L Hemi) the 2 bolts at the very top of the differential were actually 18mm bolt head and 21mm nut. Not sure if the measurements you gave for those 2 were just mistaken or if this truck just had a different setup. But for anyone doing this, be prepared in case those bolts are larger than expected. The top front one is especially hard to get to. You have very little room to get a socket over it without it hititng the frame. Bad design. You need a deep socket, but not TOO deep, or it will hit the frame. I am going to cut these bolts a bit shorter, so that when they go back on, there is no thread sticking out past the nut, so that it's flush wiht the nut. That will allow me to use a shorter socket next time which will really help with removal.
Mine completely blew while on the highway, wasn't a fun experience
🤦🏻♂️🤢 Man I’m sorry to hear that but since you’re writing the message I’m assuming you’re OK hopefully my video was at least helpful
@@sharpcarco I'm lucky it didn't lock up at all, got the new part ordered. Got out safe and more importantly my friend did
Awesome video bro! My front differential on my dodge ram 2004 1500 5.7 just broke on the passenger side where the two bolts go in , had put in on 4x4 yesterday and drove it a bit when i went to make a right turn i just heard a loud breake! Took it back looked under the truck and that image of the whole differential fell and hit the cross bar is really whats holding it up . I had changed the oil pan and gasket months ago and i had to bring the differential down to replace it. When i tried putting everything back i could not for the life of me put the two bolts that go in on the driver side thwy just kept hitting the oil pan. So i left it like that without those two bolts. And put the 3 bolts and two passeneger . Now this is what i get for not putting the bolta back. Im thinking just getting same bolts and figuring out how to get them in so it could hold differential up even with the broken passenger layour were the two bolts hold it up?
So you accessed both top bolts from the front side of the diff? Just used and extended ratchet wrench? I’m having trouble getting the back side bolt.
Great video. I have to change my front differential on my 2004 dodge ram 1500. Do you think it's doable without a lift? I'd be attempting it in my driveway......no garage.
Thanks Brian we greatly appreciate the kind words and we are very happy that you’re here
No actually I took it out at the junkyard without a lift. It was relatively easy. The biggest problem you’re going to have is getting the axles out . Try to get that driver side axle out before you have the differential out if possible because that driver side differential likes to lock in place and not come off of the spindle on the inside of the differential sometimes it’s a real freaking nightmare……
And if you try to take it out after you have it out of there it’s very difficult to hold the differential but also easier to take a hammer and knock it out when it’s laying on the ground so it’s a 50-50 thing.
But it is a very simple differential for the most part to get out.
Please help! Anyone know the torque specs for the front differential mounting bolts for a 2014 ram 1500 5.7 4x4?
Another video the guy cracked the hub assembly after striking it. Thank you for posting this. Im about to take this on myself. I spray down the lug nuts with wd40 to make the socket slide on and off easier.
I’m about to take my differential off on my 1998 Dodge Durango to change the oil Pan gasket. Any advice or resources?
Not really I thought the video pretty much covered it.
Great job...my differential just went on my 2004 dodge ram 1500
Do you have time change out 1more???🙏
Well I greatly greatly appreciate you thinking of me but I do not run a retail repair facility yet I used to in the past I’m kind of considering doing it in the future but right now unfortunately I do not do things like that for the public sorry wish I could help you
Ok....thank you....keep up the good work 💪
Hey guys I have a question. can I put the 2006 1500 dodge ram front differential in one 2003 1500 dodge ram? 2003 dodge don't come with differential locker in front. I want upgrade the front differential in my 03 dodge. God Bless
you are wrong, the axle is correct, you are incorrect
I have a 2011 ram front diff with 12 bolts on the cover. I need to change out the gears how do I look up which front diff it is called. there looks to be possibly 2 different kinds a chrysler 8.0 ifs or an chrysler 9.25. can anyone help?
this video just saved my ass. thank you
No problem very glad to hear it. Thanks for taking the time to send a message it does help
Amigo the Devil fan🤘 also thanks for the help
I need some help with my 04 ram 1500, when I first got it I notice that it was missing the front cv axles and front shaft now I'm slowly starting to get the money together to buy them all new and get my 4x4 back but I'm not exactly sure if my front diff is ok or not and I really don't want to go installing new parts just to find out it was screwed later and have to take them back out, any advice on what I should test out / try out to know its in working condition? btw love the vid very informative and awesome camera positioning.
Thanks for the kind words Ricky,
OK a lot of people think that these front differentials go bad because the intermediate shaft on the Driver side wares out. And yes the differential does go bad but they are not terribly expensive and are fairly easy to change relative to other front differential’s. And the pointers I gave you and the video will help you a great deal and save you a couple of dollars. I recommend getting a front differential from a pick you part. But you can pull the front cover and if there’s a ton of metal shavings or gears missing off of the teeth then it definitely needs a new one most the time even the novice amateur mechanic should be able to tell if it’s good or bad by just looking at it. I’m not saying that Looking is the only way you can tell but if you use your brain I’m certain that you’ll be able to tell if it’s bad you may have a bad bearing or something on the inside of it and realized it for the hundred or $150 it cost to replace the front differential is probably worth the money anyways. I wish I could get into it more deeply but it would be difficult to explain every nuance so I hope the little bit of information I gave you is helpful
@@sharpcarco very helpful thank you very much I will probably do just that and get a newish one to save the headache , thanks again!
nuts welded, good tip...needed that...thanks
Thank you for your dedication in teaching everyone I really needed I it a lot
Well, you’re very welcome brother. Happy to have folks like you hear. Thank you so much for taking the time to write that message it really does mean a lot.
Do it with the engine in I’ll be impressed.
🤔 what are you talking about? The engine was in this truck……
hello i need help with my audi a6 2005 that doesn't turn me on
Sorry I can’t help but to say this
Re-read your comment
“ that’s what she said”
Anyways just kidding what can I help you with?
The Clay Way I have an audi and I stop working it does not start at all I do not know what the problem is vada once I started the car the engine trembles a lot
lmao. those subtitles are on point, but maybe a little distracting
Well the point of what is called the “C” roll is to get people to watch the videos longer because you tubers get paid for view duration. Subscribers have a little bit to do with it but not as much as View duration. So if you did what I did there just turn the volume down and let my videos play from front to back that’s how I get paid take it easy I hope the video was helpful for you bro
Is it hard to rebuild the front diff on a 99 ram 1500 4x4?
Jammin to the dead south. Nice haha
Sorry I don’t know I just replace them, I probably would try if they were not cheap. Love the dirty south !!!!!
@@sharpcarco wheres a good place to get one? Your recommendations anyway?
The places that I get them from are usually the yards that let you pull them yourself
Or I’ve Been using this website for a little over 10 years now that doesn’t collect information or cookies there called car-part.com When you open it up you just put in your ZIP Code and they will tell you all the reputable salvage yards in your area that have the part you’re looking for I tried to get them to sponsor the channel but they wouldn’t I still think that they’re the best because all the junkyards have to pay to be on their site so they’re all very reputable and it’s not cheap to be on that site it’s also super simple to operate
@@sharpcarco hey thanks man i appreciate it!!!
Good job passing on your genius and tricks of the trade
Thanks a lot bud
You’re welcome Ryan welcome to the channel happy to have you
What motor was in the 08?
3.7 V6 4.7 V8 5.7 V8 and then there’s a diesel model but I don’t know the diesel displacement off the top of my head
can i take cv joints and front diff off truck and drive without until i have money to buy new diff
Well that is possible on most vehicles.
Problems that could possibly occur
Without the axle there it’s possible that the front wheel bearings may go bad because they’re designed to have the axle go through them to hold them together
It is also possible that the transfer case needs the front driveshaft for it says send power to the rear wheels so first you would want to remove your driveshaft from the transfer case to the front differential and make sure it was still going to gear and move.
I do believe if I remember correctly on this vehicle it is possible
Now my rear end is going out 😢
What did you find out was wrong with it other than that
Well the trucks old but once I changed the cv axle the rear in slowly deteriorated and caused my spider to some how slip so now I have a hole bunch of sheered gears ⚙️
Alright so 3 back bolts 2 on top of the pumpkin and the drive shaft bolts. Any other bolts i may be missing. Ive watched this vedio alot just ensureing im not missing anything.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😊
snapple facts???
Sometime ... but we get them everywhere we can. We call them the “C” roll
new possible snapple fact. the clutch guides in the rear dif were not tempered right which made them brittle. thus they shattered and ate up the gears and bearings back there.
Great video. What did you replace it with? new or used? Does front differential have a gear ratio, that need to be matched. Can it be rebuilt? Thanks in advance.
It definitely has to be replaced with the same gear ratio. I replaced mine with a used one. Yes they can be rebuilt
Where does that breather hose connect too
It doesn’t it’s a vent tube it just goes pretty much straight up
Okay thanks , I forgot if it connected to something or not , I think I kno what goes back has like a white cap on the top of the hose
