Better then two years since your video and I have to say it's one of the best I've seen. Taught by my uncle on tractors and farm rigs we never were "anal" about measuring. On my first mud rig we went to the gnats --- with a local shop manager/ teacher and you've just given me more better ammunition for my next axle rebuild, THANK YOU! I don't wheel anymore so I am extremely happy seeing men and folks like you there to help those in need. You are in my prayers Hoka Hey

I remember Zima... Don't know which is worst, knowing what it is or actually being old enough to remember it... Guess remembering is a good thing... Either way, great job Eric... Thanks for the lesson...

Excellent tutorial on this job. I've set up rear ends before, but never one of these. Interesting to see the differences.

Those Old Chevys are The best easy too work on last forever, and You can rebuild every part...Great Video...

If i may ...make sure the sacrifice bearings should be the same brand as the bearings your goin to use ....

What is slightly nifty to me is that I suggested the Eaton a while back. Eric said a front locker was in the works, but didn't know when it was going to happen. I put one in a dana 44 and really liked it.

Awsome video

Your videos just keep getting better and better.

another good video, keep them coming

Good job on the process

remember to fix the locker where it will cut off power when the key is off. it will put a draw on your battery. at least the last 3 i put in did.

It’s great watching your work brother! I will be getting a Limited Slip Diff to replace my open diff and also installing 4.10 gears

Love your in depth comments what to do. Your wife is in tune of what you are doing. Thumps up! Live in East Tennessee and hope to see you down south. If you come down this way Holler!¡!

Love the vids learnin a lot

Great technical video, thanks

Great video as usual!!!!

Back when I used to do 9 in Fords I never used the paint I used a grocery bag to see what my pattern was on the ring gear and pinion shade tree mechanic

Love this channel

Nice vidéo !

Nice job

Nice tutorial.

Yeah back in the day we used to take hard jolly rancher candies put one or two in each Zima an hour before you drink them so it dissolves a little bit taste identical to the jolly rancher candy after that you ever find those things try it out it's amazing! 💯👍

Eric, at the motorcycle shop! We spit on that rubber to make it slide into the hole, it's a bit cheaper and it works

I've done this tons of times but I'm enjoying the dialect ( OG CHEESE vivo en el apartemonto del Diablo) "goona wanna" and appreciate the in depth tour as opposed to the 15 min set up others have. Good choice and good job. I would have liked to see you use a hone to make up the slip fit bearings or a buddy with which you could donate that case of puke (aka white claw or Zima) for the use of a mill. However, I get the idea of use what ya got thus the heat. Remember the day when you could loose a little R12 at that locker to make them drop on even more slippery. Silglide is like unicorn farts or at least west of the Miss so it seems. GPC doesn't even inventory albeit they aren't a Wagner wd.

Good example of making the setup bearings 👍🏻

Very nice. Hope you got a free Eaton ELocker out of this.

I'll do the same thing with a Dana 44 in the front of the Ford you know that stuff by experience I've done on Chevys to good job

Next time you do something like that use a homeowner it would make your job a lot easier and a lot quicker

...well done....now that all the technical stuff is done and the truck is still up in the air, could you take that orange deadblow and knock the dent outta that passenger door ? ....thanks from all of us ...

I’d love to know what this whole process took you in real time. I completely understand breaking the process up into separate videos but what did the the whole replacement take you in hours/days/weeks whatever you prefer? Just curious!

What are you doing with the old 60 I need one

Lube her good for alot of fun.

"Now make sure to draw the gear up evenly..." *grabs impact* ;p

Yea you knew that would get a reaction out of seat cover. lol

When you’re driving through water, do you change your diff fluid each time you get back home?

Gonna be done for memorial? I assume this job is finished and the videos are just still coming out

sorry buddy... you did it all right!!!! I'm here for some seat cover... sorry,,,,,,,,,

I like it, but I have mixed feelings about having just changed the total from 350 to 351...

You can use a homeowner do you use in the motor block to hone out the cylinder walls would work just as easy and evenly hone out the bearing and drop it in that’s my thought why do the hard way when you do the easy way

Please Read! There was a very large error made. I don't want to see him wreck this. The pattern was taken only on the coast side. You can clearly see later in the video where the paint on the drive side is not even marked. Remember front axle is reverse rotation. Also based on the Pinion video I feel there is a really high chance that the pinion is not at the right depth due to another error by not knowing what the number on the g2 pinion was for.

3 more vids

Next time your RTV your dif cover he might want to evenly spread the RTV around evenly otherwise you might get a leak😬

Never drank zema or white claw

Ok I was always tough to pack my bearings but maybe that's just axle once. Could you set me straight

I just set up a Yukon posi in my 67 Chevelle rear end I have in my 86 Grand Prix and the carrier shim thicknesses were not even close to the carrier shims for the OEM Eaton that was in there. The Eaton carrier came out in 2 pieces. I use my micrometer instead of my caliper to measure the shims. My carrier uses many more shims than your set up and the micrometer is more accurate than the caliper.

i still havent figured out if that his daughter or wife lol

Watching this video a few times. The pattern is horrible. And he only checked one side of the pattern. And watch when he is turning it with the ratchet compared to to using the bar torque wrench. He is using a hell of alot more than 45 inch pounds turning it with the ratchet.

lol zema
