Yeah the new Yukon pinion had an extra spacer built in so I had to trial and error too.

@@loluracing That is no fun!! Especially for me with way less tools than you have, plus I kept the axle on the truck. :)

@loluracing Still, couldn't have done it without your video. Excellent video with all the right information! Thank you! All seems well now with the new Yukon LS diff and new ring and pinion set.

Awesome! Glad I could help!

Thank you. If only I was better at filming too. Lol

How can I get a hold of you ?

@@andybiersa283 here

The caps have marks engraved on them. There is a "K" on each one and due to the way they are oriented on the cap you just match them up when your ready to install. I believe I showed this in the video.

@@loluracing You started into it but it looks like it was edited out. Partially cut off at "keep track of these". Those with less experience may not understand this context.

@@rlm975 true. Hopefully they read these comments or ask the question in the comments.

It seems the weak point in the M226 is that spider gear assembly. Just get rid of that and your golden. I just got home from another drift race and towed with absolutely no issue. I love my titan

@@loluracing did It have a crush sleeve for the pinon .?

@@josearellano3268 yes it does have a crush sleeve. I assembled and measure the first round without it then put it in on final assembly. Just make sure you don't over-tighten it and measure your preload properly.

Your welcome. I couldn't find any good videos about the titan specifically. Glad I could help

How an I suppose to help you exactly? Armadas are not solid rears they are independents. Plus a 2020 isn't even the same chassis as the truck in this video. I can't help you. Do your own research.

I do not have 4xd. No idea

He’d know on that final pattern if It was wrong. You go off pattern.

It's been a while but if I remember correctly there are no c-clips on a M226 rear end. The axles are held in by plates and bolts at the wheel end.

Huh. Something you bought must be wrong. I used a Detroit tru trac and a Yukon gear set and everything worked perfectly. There is a 8" and a 8.5" gear. You need the 8.5" gear.

This was a long time ago but I do believe this was it and I got mine from drivetrain america. They were excellent. Just double check your compatibility before ordering

There is definitely a Trutrac for the M226 rear. I literally installed it in this video. Lol. It's been killing it to. I've towed several times. I ordered mine from Drivetrain america. I can find a part number. Give me one second.

Just go to Drivetrain america and type in M226 and it will show up but the SKU# is 913A582. That is what I installed and it says it's for a Nissan Titan.

It's the same one for a Dana44

Well.... I had trouble clamping it to get an actual torque rating so I did red thread locker on all and 5-6 uggha chugghas from the impact. I haven't checked it since I installed it but I'm going to in another few thousand miles.

Take what out? The whole rear end? Detach it from the leaf springs. The carrier. Loosen the preload adjusters and it comes right out.

I set my backlash to whatever my FSM says. I don't remember exactly what that was. I have not checked mine since I put it together but I have about 5k miles on mine and I hear no weird noises. I can only think of two ways this could be happening, 1) the pinion is shifting forward, 2) the carrier is shifting to the side. Pinion issues could be cause by a failing bearing or crush sleeve. Carrier issues could be due to bearing failure or loose preload adjusters. Preload and backlash are set together. If there is not enough preload the backlash could loosen. I would say if your preload is correct when you set backlash, and your preload adjusters locks are not coming loose is an issue with your pinion. DM me on IG if you want to talk over it some more.

Thanks a bunch man I also sent youu a dm on Instagram.

I'm not sure what your question is here or what issue your trying to solve. The m226 rear ends are all the same except for axle thickness in different years and perch height in different models. That's the only differences I noticed. Even if someone replaced the rear end the axle lengths should be the same.

Assuming your 05 has the E-locker. The driver side axle is shorter and passenger side is longer. The open diff Titan rear end has equal length axles (34.03in I believe). The tru trac was designed for the equal length open diff axles. If replacing the e-locker with tru trac you will need to purchase 2 34.03in axles for proper fitment. Otherwise you will have to shim out the passenger side axle and the short driver side axle splines will not make full contact.

@@jordantaylor9858 didn't know that. Mine was obviously an open diff. You learn something new every day. Detroit does make a E-locker carrier too.

@@loluracing the e locker is good if you want to drive 4mph in a straight line lol. But the tru trac is where it’s at. It will take all of the abuse one can throw at it. I wish I could’ve saved $800 by not having to buy new axles but oh well. Not sure how familiar you are with titans but if you haven’t installed the rear diff vent mod, I would highly recommend it or you will be replacing axle seals in no time.

@@jordantaylor9858 I have seen that but i don't believe I ever did it. Lol. I'll look into it again.

I believe the ratio was a 3.56. It toes fine but the transmission is confused on shift points. I just manually shift it when I tow.

@@loluracing I have a 05 2wd titan and will be installing Trutrac and 4.11 ring and pinion

@@verylargeone so like I said I haven't found any good way to fix the transmission shift points. It's not a huge deal when your not towing except your cruise control won't work anymore. Other than that the things a beast and pulls good from a stop with my 33s. I have had zero issues with the trutrac. That things great too.

@@verylargeone you can DM me if you have any specific questions.

@@loluracing right on. I've owned my 05 since I bought it new. Has been one of the best vehicles I've owned. It's as reliable as a good friend. I currently only have the 2.94 gears. It's still a beast as you said. You should have not lost your cruse control as there are not electronics it's all mechanical. Unless the titan you own had an E locker diff before you did the upgrade. I have 33s as well and will be going from 2.94 to 4.11 gears. I don't expect my trans to have weird shift points. The research I've done didn't un cover anything like that. It's only a 5 speed and if you tow yiu never want to tow in over drive or 5th gear. You want to drop it down to 4th gear.

Thanks for your opinion. I'm not a professional and I'm only doing this stuff by myself so sometimes it's hard to work and film. If you have specific questions you can ask.
