  • This is (Episode 6) of the #ETCGDadsTruck Series.
    Here is (Part 2) of the #ETCGDadsTruck Axle/Differential Rebuild. This video shows you how to tear down and assemble a 10 bolt (8.5” ring gear) differential. This includes replacing the gear set, the differential (with limited slip), axle bearings, pinion bearings, differential bearings, and all seals. It includes all the tools and torque specs you will need. I also show you how to check and set backlash and interpret a gear tooth pattern.
    The vehicle in this video is a 1990 C1500 Sport, GMT400 (1988-1998)

    Your videos are so good. The reason I know that is because I have been working on cars for 53 years. And I have had some of the same problems you have. I like the way you explain things, show all the areas where you have problems and how you get around them. You are not afraid to use a hammer if necessary, last resort. I believe that people watching your videos will do some of these repairs versus watching it done in other video, located in a perfectly clean garage, with all the correct tools, etc. Keep up the good work, I think you are doing a great service for the universe.

    Just did this with my 17 yr. old grandson on his 99 Sierra pickup. We worked in my garage at home. We worked on the floor with truck on jack stands. This video was a like total backflash memory. His truck had a 2 piece driveshaft with a long splined section at the carrier bearing so we didn’t have that issue. This was first time I’ve ever worked on a differential. What a great bonding project.

    Lol..tears of joy..lol. I have the k1500 Z71 LS 4X4 ,5.7 FULL SIZE PICKUP, MY LAST VEHICLE . NOT selling . Keeping till I die. I bought it in 2008. Took the rear axle diff cover off to change the oil. Darn thing looks brand new. Now metal flakes at all on the magnet. I was shocked at how great the condition was. My friend works at a chevy dealership here for 23 years and all he does is the rear-end rebuilds and drive train. He was astonished at how great that differential looked and the backlash is still perfect..you did a awesome build on the axle. This video is 5 🌟. Thanks for posting. I learned a lot.

    @snivesz32 4 місяці тому +1

    9:30 Just want to point out that you were actually looking at the coast side of the ring gear when you did a pattern check, which is the unimportant side. The book is showing you the drive side pattern and you looked at the coast side in the video. 9:42 you can see the drive side is off the toe. So you need to add a shim to the right side.
    I know it’s easy for the audience to back seat drive your videos but that’s just the nature of it. 😂. You are really doing a great job and are appreciated.

    Great video. Really enjoy these in depth videos that some of the issues that can (and likely will) happen. That being said, even watching someone else build one seems to trigger moments of shim and crush bearing flashback irritation to my own issues building them in the past. The only part on a vehicle I can safely say I will outsource every single time.

    As a person sets up a bunch of GM gears sets, you will end up having a box of extra shims and you never want to get rid of any of those extra shims, which I can tell you already know that. Good job, Eric !! I ended up ordering a pinion depth kit that helped me quite a lot, of course, the more a person used it the more a person's mind understood just what was going on. I always enjoyed setting up rear differentials, any make, and model.

    As a guy who rebuilds differentials, i love seeing people do these correctly. Hey, i know this is an older video, but if you want a tool that will remove AND re install bearings without destroying them, i highly recommend investing in a tool called yukon Differential bearing install and removel tool. It's pricey around $500 BUT jegs makes on3 for around 2 hundos. Awesome tool man.

    I just rebuilt my 2003 suburban rear diff by following your video. Went together so good...almost. I had a hard time getting that front pinion bearing housing to go in. I also did mine on the ground not a hoist. Would have been sooooo nice. But thanks for the help. I was scared to do it and now I understand how they go together and it's a little less scary. I will be looking to see if you have a video for a transfer case now. Even though my planetary gears were about gone and my fluid had more metal flake than a lowrider paint job. Rebuilding it did not fix my initial problem of a humming noise that gets louder the faster I go.

    Ah, driveshaft yolks. So much fun. When I had my lifted 87 K Blazer (I miss that truck), I discovered the joys of what happens when you bottom out the driveshaft. Now, I did not do this, the previous owner did. I discovered a leak, which I thought was the transfer case output seal, so I changed it. This, did nothing. Later, I discovered an interesting thing. I don't know if all driveshaft yolks are like this, but this one was. There is actually a plug, in the U joint end of the yolk that seals it. This plug, had been blown out, when the driveshaft had been driven into the transfer case, and it came into contact with the end of the output shaft. So, what did they do? Glued it back in with black RTV of course. I discovered that finding a new plug, is like finding a unicorn. I wound up getting a new yolk instead.

    @natefidalgo7625 5 років тому

    I like your tips on the gear paint it works well for starter motor alignment as it does for differential gears. Nice to know for differentials the only special tools need other then shop press /bearing pullers is the bushing and seal driver kits (or a socket of the right size to do equivalent). Harbor freight has 2 types a plastic kit and your AL based seal driver kit. Anyway good luck with the driveshaft hopefully the new transmission works with that old driveshaft. If not they should beable to fabricate a new custom one if you get appropriate measurements after all it is just a drive shaft

    I recall from my exposure to ring gear/pinion gear mesh adjustment is using titanium oxide from an art supply store and mixing in a few drops of blue Dykem® to give a little tint. You will have more than enough gear paint then. In fact, you will be able to paint the entire 360 degrees of the ring gear and check all of the teeth for that optimal "oval" area of contact between the heel and toe and centered between the crest and valley.

    I had to rebuild me subaru rear diff.... front bearing was a crusty rusty mess, which didn't make sense to me. I replaced every bearing and seal in that thing. Took me three days to get it aligned, a couple hours a day to work on it. Sad thing was, the manual transmission was easier, but most of the bearings in that were good. Just the carrier bearings, front input, pinion output, and 2 needle bearings were worn and bad. I replaced every seal in the transmission as well. After following the rebuild instructions, it was first time was a charm in the transmission.

    Nice to see the lack of RTV, Eric. My tech teacher used to tell us to let the gasket do its job - RTV shouldn't be needed with a gasket unless the mating surfaces have been butchered and you need a _temporary_ fix. And later, go back in and fix the problem with the mating surfaces. :-)

    Very Nice Video Eric! You are mighty strong! Sorry at the end that your drive axle has to be adjusted, I hope with the new transmission it works out :) Can't wait for more videos :)

    Not the right size axle bearing in the kit for a truck you say??? Same with the 74-76 impala and caprice lol. Found that out the hard way as they say.
    Excellent video man. Learned alot. Thanks for sharing. 🙌🏾

    It should run fine. May feel a little clunky but you have good enough engagement to keep the ring from shattering unless you’re trying to run 9s

    When I worked with Chrysler, at their three transmission plants in Kokomo, Indiana, we found the Timken bearings to perform more consistently than the Koyos. We also discovered that you definitely could not run a Timken bearing with a Koyo race. We finally decided to go with the more expensive Timken bearing and race to avoid any future issues.

      Personally I prefer the Timken bearings as well. Especially since I can't seem to source Koyo bearings individually.

    That is indeed one sweeet axle housing cover - anyone got a moist towelette ? Bummer about the shaft length, but better to know now than any other time-lol As you said this is the world of custom, be ready for anything.
