A seal video would be great because there isn’t a single one out that makes it simple and easy or give step by step instructions in how to take out the differential or anything.

Thank you for the video. I have the same year and model. My passenger side axel outer seal needs to be replaced. Do you sell the axel seal driver kit? I need a special tool to ensure the seal is seated properly. It’s currently leaking oil.

Replaced both front hub barring on my 97 dodge ram 4x4 because the passenger side was gone. Got both from you guys. Easy job. I noticed that before I changed them out the truck was acting like there was a knot in the front tire. Put brand new tires all around, changed hub barrings and it still doing it. Took it in the back field an locked it in and as I turn to the right it makes a soft grinding sound. Whats your analysis axel? Axel barring?

@allandconnell 4 жыл бұрын

so you took the bearing bolts out then put them right back in to get the bearing out?

When I was 18 I did my first beating job on my own car. I tightened too tight it seized up on my and the wheel practically came off my Volkswagen. Ever since I’ve been scared of doing these types of jobs but this makes it much easier. Of course I was learning and didn’t use a torque wrench

Good video however l believe most of these how-to videos are filmed in low rust areas of the country. Also those bolts in my area (NY) are "dealer only" items meaning NOT cheap.

Still in very good shape. Especially compared to mine. Lol There's no bearing or anything on the outside end of the axle tube? Shaft just spins freely through there?

nice, I was just wondering what actually held the axle in so I could figure out how many safety stands I needed for doing this on my lift

@rtheprizeisright7323 2 жыл бұрын

You guys probably have the highest quality videos on youtube. you put copper anti-seize wouldn't that be an issue overtime with it being put on steel as the 2 metals don't go together well overtime. I'm an electrician by trade (so I know little about what I'm asking here) but jw on my end. I love your videos. and why don't you always put new bolts in when you have the opportunity or soak them in wd-40 for longer life and keep rust (main enemy) out of truck.

I just got my Dodge 1500 ram 2000 diagnosed with totally destroyed front differential and got quoted 1250$ but when I look up the part on your website there's no such thing as a front axle assembly nor is there anything referred to as a differential on your website why is that and what am I doing wrong to try and research this part is mechanic shop calling it the wrong part or does your company not sell front axle assemblies, on my truck apparently it's all one part from tire to tire and it is the front not the back four-wheel drive and my steering box is destroyed I don't understand how to buy these parts from your company

@FrostPl4sma 4 жыл бұрын

It has two separate axels on the front that meet at the differential. I would assume the differential is what is destroyed. You may want to search for a loaded carrier and maybe the ring and pinion gears. Depending how bad everything is, you may need the two from axles. I had to replace the rear carrier on my dodge. I actually ended up getting all the parts from summit racing.
