This was such a helpful video, as a few days ago my rear axel locked up going down the road after the rear bearing gave out and i have to fully replace it. good video and nice work
Glad you got the rear all figured out with the tires and bearing deal I’ve had them bearings go in two of my trucks but they were gently abused!!!! See you in the next video!!!
If that doesn’t work, check the rear thrust angle. You may have to buy rear adjustable control arms to properly align the rear thrust angle to get rid of the vibration.
Wish you had a video of the noises it was causing at speed. I suspect my pinion bearing being bad but I dont know how to properly diagnose the sounds I hear
MAN! That's alot play for the pinion Jon. At least for now you know how to check for excessive wear or play on your rear axle. It could have been worse if the rear axle gave out or snapped while you were pulling the trailer to Texas. I hope no more problems with the rear axle.
I’m dealing with a bent housing on my ram now. 2013 rusted bolts everywhere (NY)…. Wish me luck just picked up a used housing for $800 🤦🏻♂️ hope it all goes well I’m using a 2018 on a 2013. Should go smooth right?
I have a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500, the rear universal flange broke while driving about 30 mph the drive shaft dropped and a few seconds after before we could get off the road the rear of the truck catapulted us up I got out pulled the drive shaft out put the truck in 4wd tried to dr forward it would not however I could dr in reverse. I drove home jacked up the rear of truck and the rear wheels will only roll backwards any idea what's going on???
hope you get blue r /r fixed before you go far on the new 8.7 ram,it would not be wise as long as we all been waiting on r/t..he said,..hard on...loldakota r/t was first man, ram does look good all blue like the r/t hell kota,man please get it where it can safely go down the track many many times..please...
Toward the end you mentioned you swapped over a "13-50" flange. Is that necessary for any axle swap or was there something specific about yours? I'm getting ready to swap the rear axle on my EcoDiesel (I tow our travel trailer a LOT) and want to make sure I have all my bases covered. Thanks!
would love to show what happenned to me , hearing comment about not knowing where your trucks been sheesh , my rear caught fire and at the moment i wasnt hauling anything . kawpowee was the noise and smoke . partly i have on video , staerted my buiseness off my investment into this truck 2004 1500 5.7. cannot afford $5000 shop fees for repairs . dont wanna lose my truck either. cheapest way out ?
Yeah apparently the crush sleeve can wear as well from heavy loads too causing the pinion bearings to fail. This new one has a crush sleeve eliminator on it too so it should be one less failure point
LMFAO, You're buddy Jason is funny! "Yeah, it's been abused quite a bit, but it's good enough for you John"! That's too funny, it kind of sounds like what I would say!

Hope this will eliminate any vibration issues that may still be happening! Thanks for the update!

Im gonna do this job. Only difference is ill use the lift to remove the parking brakes at eye level but mostly gonna work near the ground.
For those wondering there are not brake lines running parallel next to the axle
Looks awesome brother at least You narrowed it down 👍👍💯🙌🙌🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👌👌👌👌👌
No test drive? Ah man, I’m feeling gp’d! Looking forward to the big reveal 👍🏻
Haha it just drives like it’s not broken now 🤣
it's much better watching other people work. lol
fun video.
thumbs up
Haha thanks man
Awesome J《☆》Nice work👍✔Good luck with the warranty🖖🤓🏈
Thanks man!!
My 2012 ram Went out it took my daughter 2 1/2 hours to remove and install the new one ….But we are mechanics we do this all day 😊👍
How much will a job like that cost?
Did you loc tite the driveshaft bolts to the diff? Or just tighten.

did it end up going well?! thinking of swapping my axle as well lol

is this truck a 4x4??
What rear axle ratio you swap to?
Good work
Thanks!!
Wonder if it's from towing heavy loads?
Yeah apparently the crush sleeve can wear as well from heavy loads too causing the pinion bearings to fail. This new one has a crush sleeve eliminator on it too so it should be one less failure point

Hey John do you think 22*12s on 33s can cause this to happen as well?
This way you get rid of the bent axle housing.
I don't think it was bent, he had a tire with a broken belt that was causing the weird wear issues
Awesome
Thanks man 💪
well that's one way to change the rear end gears haha ;)
Lol yeah it was overkill but he had it sitting there 🤷♂️
Biggest fear was the springs, Mine uses leaf springs :(
Why don't you change the title to "Complete rear end housing removal/replace" instead of rear axle? Big difference
how big is his shop?
30x55
rear axle?? you mean whole rearend
LMFAO, You're buddy Jason is funny! "Yeah, it's been abused quite a bit, but it's good enough for you John"! That's too funny, it kind of sounds like what I would say!
My warranty is 30 seconds or 30 feet, whichever comes first.
Hahah
ugly ass gray, very unsafe unless chrome,or neon pink etc, something is added...
