Finally A true DIY ! Covers all the important setting the Pinon ! Great Job TY !!! I have the details now i can be confident to tackle this job and it not a lack of mechanics but the finer steps needed to know as no one person i have seen showing it all !

no nonsense, simplified way of doing things.. you are truly an expert in your field. Thank you for taking the time to make the video. I have definitely learned from you today.

Thank you for the no BS and stupid reality tv crap that other people put on their “instructional” videos!! You absolutely made everthing clear for me and answered all of my questions!

Good video, i plan on going from 3.08 to 4.11 in my 8.2 10 bolt and feel more confident after watching you set yours up. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, I have a few 10 bolts that will need to go over and change gears. watched many videos and your video give me more confidence thanks again.

Damn it brother!!! You have the God given ability to explain complicated shit in a easy to digest way! Top Notch Video without any bullshit and you stayed on subject

GREAT how to video brother, just kick up my confidence a bit, my old one blew up on me so I’m going in and getting her done. Thank you

One of the best videos on gear setup and posi install. Thanks.

I am at this point in my project setting up reared gears with a posi. I get in my own head and worried about screwing this up. Excellent information video. Super glad I stumbled on this. Thanks for sharing. 🤘🤘🤘

Nice, thanks…… after 20 MIT mechanical engineering style videos yours made me the most confident.

Great tutorial!! I have a '68 C-10 that I'll begin restoring this fall. The rear diff is definitely a good place to start!

I appriciate your video, worked exactly like you demonstrated, hit my 19in lb first try thanks man!

That was one of the better gear set videos I’ve seen on KZfaq!

Best ring and pinion set up video. Outstanding work.

Awesome video - thanks for creating this gem ....will be tackling my own after watching your install...many thanks

Great vid and the basics! I was overthinking the process; this breaks it down...Thanks!

Awesome man I’m about to do a gear swap this weekend and this was really helpful

Nice job you definitely know what you're doing

Nice job I learned something here thanks buddy I’ve gotta change my gears I’m running a turbo 400 with 3.73 gear I’m installing a 3.21 to get my rpms down

this is an excellent, thoughtful resource. no BS for sure!

I am about to do 3.90 gears and true track in my silverado. This video made me feel a lot better about it.

I'm getting ready to install a 373 limited slip in my 2008 Chevrolet silverado and I've never did it before so hopefully I can get it right. Everyone says you need these special tools but I guess not . Thanks for the info I'm going to give UT a shot thus weekend and see what I can screw up lol

great video. One of these days I’m going to give it a try. Got a 69 firebird that I’d like to upgrade to a posi. And a gmc envoy that’s making a terrible noise from the rear end. I’ll start with that one.

That was the best demo. Thanks

Thanks for the video. The shops in my area are charging $7-800 for this job. I'm going to do this if it takes me whatever!

Great video. No BS. Straight to the point.

Well done! No BS, straight to the points.

That was cool.... my gm 14 bolt 10.5 has a posi, just looking to do a Gear Change and have to do the front too, 2005 4x4 2500 Silverado

wait, u check a pattern? lmao just send em! nah just playin, i been changing gears for years, this is spot on info for someone who wants to see how its done. finally did 4.56s on my 08 silverado today, still worry myself to death when i change ratios vs replacement parts, nice, quite and smooth like it should be so i can sleep easy tonite,

Saving this. Great video!

That helped me a lot! Thanks, man!

Gotter done buddy. 4000km on the diff I put a trutrac in. Thank you man you mader so simple even this simple man could do er

thank you im doing my tahoe and this is a big help

Sick you made er look easy. Thanks man

Best setup video ever.

Great job explaining it

Excellent !! Thank you !

Got a 10 bolt I’m fixin to install a truetrac almost started today I’m glad I stopped and watched this first

Thanks you are a good teacher

Great video and explanations

Thanks man, good video

Great esplaination

Awesome video. Thanks.

To throw this out there: While setting preload after you throw on the crush, when you get it to 5-12lbs preload, take smooth head hammer of your choosing, with the force you would drive in a small finishing nail to wood, hit the end of the pinion (thread/shaft side) and few times, then do the same with the gear side dead in the middle of the gear. Once in a while the bearing races didn’t completely seat. After a moderate test drive and break in, I get decel whine and find the preload lost and have to retorque. (Note: I used tamper marking paint and the nut didn’t back off), Smacking it a few times is good insurance and will give you confirmation if after smacking it a few times on each end loosens the preload to zero. 🤙

Great video

Nice video nice and simple thanks

Good job thanks 👍

Great vid. Thanks

Thank you

Good video buddy….thanks

Hey Excellent video tutorial. You explained the setup very well. Are you in NJ . I give you some work.

Well done, Thanks!

No BS video!👍🏻

you make it look so easy. thanks for taking the time to show us this mystery. take care guy love your videos.

thank you!

Thank u

Thanks!

I'm rebuilding a Ford 9.75" in my 2006 Ford Expedition 2WD. I reused the old pinion and carrier shims (and gears) on my first go back together. Everything will spin until I start tightening down the cap bolts on the carrier snuggly. What could that be? My guess is the pinion shim is too thick for the new bearing and is shoving it into the ring gear or carrier? Would really appreciate some guidance. In the mean time, I'm going to remove the pinion altogether and tighten in the carrier to see if that is fine or not.

Great video! Thank you! Will you share the part number for the Carrier & Pinion Bearing Puller tool you use? Thanks!

I’ve never seen such a beat on brand new ring gear before. What brand was that to avoids it? Certainly not Yukon Gear or USA Standard cuz they never came with that many defects. Actually, I’ve never had issues with either of those two brands which are basically the same USA Standard is the Yukon Gear parts that didn’t quite meet their standard but are still a great product, and they sell it as USA Standard

Your very good

👍😎 I wish yeA could work on my k3500 95

Nice

Yup, I definitely picked up a few tips, thank you

How hot do you get your bearings? 230f they should drop right on

Hey bud I got a ragged old hunting truck with 35s and I want to go to 4.56's, but I don't care about putting a high quality carrier in it. Can I use the factory carrier from the 3.42s? Or do I have to replace the carrier?

Did you use inner and outer to set the pippin depth?

what tool did you use to measure pinion preload ? where’d you get it from? great video, very thorough and i feel ready to do this on my 2003 silverado

Nice job bro, only thing I didn't see his you installing the bolts for the ring gear. I wanted to know if you use red loctite on the bolts.

So where are you so I can bring my rear end for service? It’s a Chevy 10 bolt 3.73

wow great info just what I needed. if you could explain what the concept of that crush washer is I'd appreciate it. I used my old one guess I shouldn't do that? Also which side does the wider / fat side go to? Thanks

Great video man. I have 2 s10’s that could both use a posi and a Silverado 1500 I wanna put 4.88 gears in and a clutch type limited slip. I had a question as you’ve done tons of rear ends. Is there a huge quality control issue with the eBay limited slips you can find in the $150-170 price range? Have you had experience with Chinese differentials? I’ve ran them in transaxle Hondas before but for the most part the helical limited slips you can get for the Hondas are great and usually 1/3’rd the price. I have seen one that was pretty far out of being concentric but was able to fix it on a lathe and had to run over size bearings to make it work.

Is it a 30 spline

Nice work, Thanks for the info. How do you figure out the right gear ratio by changing the horse power of your engine? 79 corvette stock has 198 HP and 3.55 gear ratio. I'm bumping the HP to 400 and converting from automatic to a manual Tremix 5 speed TKX. Thanks again.

You have a link to the pattern you had on paper? I looked on Google but didn't get any hits that looked similar. Thanks and great video

Hey man, i recently had my g80 carrier completely shatter on me. I hope you see this comment and help me out, but the ring and pinion gear are in good shape, and i just need a new carrier and carrier bearings. I was wondering if i will need to reshim my pinion gear because its a new carrier. I understand that i will need to play around with carrier bearing preload and run the patterns to see how the gears mesh, but since i am using the old pinion which hasn't been touched i am hoping i wont need to play around with pinion depth. Thanks man great video, hoping for a speedy reply lol

Great video. But not a mechanic myself; what is a reasonable labor cost for you or similar skilled shop in the current January 2023 market. Thanks again for all of us viewers.

4:11 -How many pounds each bolt?

What is side ( spider gears play allowance, just curious? On old set?

What if you have a rear end that didn't come with the pinion? How do you find a starting point for the pinion shim?

What bearing race installer kit you use?

God i wish i wouldve seen this video sooner.... time to tear apart and redo for me😅😢

Nice video,. What video editing program are you using?

So you check the pinion preload with the carrier not installed? Looks like I’m going to have to pull my axle shafts and carrier back out 😅

What caliper measuring tool did you use mine dosent measure thousands

I need mine done at this very moment .. the bolts broke snapped in half off the Ring 2 days ago … I need to fine a shop to do it because I don’t have the right tools. Plus I never did it b4

Why does my not spin freely it take 20inch pounds to move but isn’t smooth

Where did you get the dial indicator? Have a link for it?

No preload on the pinion ?

You never say what shims your going with on pinion.

666th comment your welcome

To long lil confusing

Great video. Im in a personal dilemma where i dont know if i wanna get the yukon posi carrier or just get a lunchbox locker. Im already going to be in the rearend to change the ring and pinion but im trying to stay in a budget. From what ive read, lunchbox lockers can be reliable but id hate to take everything apart all over again.

Do more videos like this i was afraid to do this to my 7.5 10 bold in my 84 cutlass I’m putting a posi and new gears there thicker then the ones that came out so I know I’m gonna be shimming you recommend using the old shims that come off and work off those sizes stay in the factory shim size range

alright. how did you measure pinion backlash? i was expecting that.

What tool were you using to determine how much the pinion needed to be shifted?
