Glad it helped! I wish I had been more professional about filming and explaining this project, but this is something in which I wasn't sure if I was going to film, and then I decided to film halfway through the project. Oh well, maybe I'll be doing this again after the next 150,000 miles =)

ME TOO. This kid is wise past his years.

Thanks

Glad this helped! Let me know how it went

Glad my video helped!

Just happened to me, found this video looks pretty straight forward..(I Hope)

Thanks for the sub Leo, Glad the video helped

I also have a comanche and wanna do an 8.8 swap what all did u have to do to make it fit?

Yes, it's a limited slip, that's what the stack of plates behind the spiders gears is for And, YES, because these are clutch-type limited slips - they rely on friction between the clutch plates/steels(the aforementioned 'stack of plates behind the spider gears') - it's extremely common for them to no longer limit slip(lol) due to being worn out after 75,000-100,000 miles. Which is why there's a bunch of rebuild guides like this all over the web for them You don't have a problem, it's all good, the clutches are just wore out and need replaced. Being a clutch-type, they are most definitely maintenance/wear items, so this isn't uncommon by any means. Now, since you have an 8.8-swapped Jeep, presumably with larger tires(33s? 35s?), I would suggest considering the upgraded carbon fiber clutch pack kit, which is literally what it sounds like. Also, you can look around the web(especially off road & drag racing sites) and find guides for alternative clutch pack stacks(different arrangements of the clutches & steels) that will tighten it up and make it more effective, especially with larger off road tires(and drag tires for that matter). Now, there's no 'free lunch' of course - if you use these guides to tighten up your clutch packs, that will increase the friction between the clutches/steels, causing them to wear quite a bit faster than the stock arrangement, necessitating a rebuild sooner. Like 20,000 miles or so, depending on how the vehicle is driven, so still pretty reasonable given the performance gain.

C clips are easy to remove. Once you have the planetary gears removed, the shaft, and the s spring, push the axle on the hub, the axle will slide an inch or two towards the center of the truck. Then you can pull off the c clips (usually by hand).

Yes, the small bolt that holds the main carrier shaft in place does have thread locker on it. I purchased a new carrier shaft, and included in the kit was a new small bolt with thread locker preinstalled on the threads. If you reuse the pin you should use some type of thread locker

never put red thread lock on this bolt always use thread lock but not red because this bolt is next to impossible to drill if broken

To me, sounds like a possible worn out carrier pin, worn spider gears, bad thrust washers, could be any of those or something else. Only way to find out is to take the diff apart.

Double check and make sure you didn't leave an old cutch pack friction disk or steel in the carrier. My first go, I left a steel from the old clutch pack. Took me 2 days to figure it out. Make sure the spider gears are directly across from one another. This will take a couple try

Glad to hear this video helped! I really wish I filmed this from the start and had my thoughts a bit more organized. This was kind of a half way through the project "let me grab my camera" type video. I hope that spring didn't backfire at you! I can't stress enough to anyone who attempts this job to wear a face shield, gloves and long sleeves at the least for that spring. Bastard shot back at me and gave me a good gash

Where did you order your differential track lock carrier gear kit? I'm having issues trying to find a track lock specific carrier gear kit

“Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.” - This phrase suggests that if you engage in foolish or risky behavior, you should expect to face the negative consequences that result from it.

If I remember correctly, the locking bolt for the pin came with pre applied lock tight

This was a while ago, but the truck would vibrate when making tight turns at very low speeds. Classic sign of bad LS clutch packs

Good luck, You will do fine!

Not al differentials have clutch packs. This is one style of a "limited slip" Differential. Limited slip means if one tire starts to spin, the clutch packs will grab, causing the other tire to start to spin as well. If you do not have clutch packs, it is possible you have a differential with no "limited slip". Generally there is a tag bolted onto the cover of the differential with the specific model of your diff. That would be the best to use for locating information on your trucks diff.

I didn't have one either on my 1997 F-150

Thanks =)

Guess which one is which lol

dela rosguay the piñon has “ preload” established by a sleeve that crushes

Roy Warmbold did you ever find the right kit

I would like the kit number and name

It engages the clutch pack depending on the terrain you’re on.
