Unusually thorough coverage of the task. Thanks much for making the effort to document this process. I may still choose to pay someone else to rebuild my F150 pumpkin, but I feel like you provided most of the knowledge that I will need to undertake the job.

Your attention to detail is top notch. I like the idea to use the old bearing to knock in the new race. Also the feeler gauges to check that the race is seated. Very nice job with the video and the rear.. I found your channel a couple of weeks ago when I was watching Brake Kleen man over at SMA...

Video was terrific . Great job as always. And happy birthday!

41:54 so grateful to have found this series. I'm about to embark on this task myself for the first time ever on my 2013 raptor. Every part house around town was $900+ for a rebuild kit W/O ring and pinion! On a whim I swung into the local Ford dealership and dropped less than $350 for all the bearings and shims. Hearing the sound in the first video, I knew this was it as mine sounds the same except it is constant, whether I'm on throttle or off. So, now I ordered my ring and pinion gears as well, after seeing the damage to that one(may as well do it all right?). Found a returned but new set on Amazon for $58 made by the ssame brand you used here. Hopefully it isn't junk. Anyhow, glad to have found this vid, will be subscribing for sure!

Great detailed video! I learned a lot! Now I want to rebuild one ;) Hope you had a great B-day!

Kinda stumbled upon this video. I don’t do the heavy stuff anymore(age&cancer)but, decided to check this out. Your tone & delivery is great. You have that methodical - cool, calm, collected, manner. Don’t ask me what “collected” is . .. I’ve been collected from . . But .. I subscribed because of your demeanor. 👍 Note: get use to nitrile🧤gloves, because some of those chemicals can be absorbed thru the skin and mess up your DNA. It surfaces in your sixties as hormonal changes occur. 🙁 Those damn bumps, that I thought were fatty cyst like my dad got, turned out to be MCL. And, wear an approved respirator if welding, do to the heavy metal fumes😷

The peining of the inner bearing race diameter is an old toolmaker fix. If the diameter is too small you make it bigger by center punching the diameter to make it bigger, so you can press on the race and still maintain a press fit. Green Loctite will do the same thing, perhaps both.

looks like it was run out of oil for some time and then refilled.! Happy belated Birthday Will.!

First of all, I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise. You explain things as you go, so that a beginner DIY'er can have a clearer understanding of the process, and your attention to detail is Exceptional. Although I'm not a Mechanic, I've done several differentials over the past 55 years that I've turned a wrench, but have never had the opportunity to learn in that timeframe, what you've taught me over the course of watching your videos. You Sir, are a Top Notch Mechanic, and I am looking forward to learning more from you in the near future as you post more videos. Thank you so much for taking the time to produce videos that both educational, and exciting to watch. God bless you , and please take care and stay safe Sir.

Great video a lot of good information getting ready to do my first gear swap and an 18 f150 I would like to see something on the front end

What did this repair cost if u dont mind me asking?

When I worked with Ford axle building the 9.75 F-150 axles, I seem to remember the acceptable ring gear to pinion backlash was no more than .010 to .012.

Very god vid! I learned a lot. I didn't understand why you put the new ring gear on the 2nd carrier. Why not on the original? Was there something wrong with the original I missed? Thank you for the hard video work. Eric

SWEEET VID 🚹, THANK YOU 👍 👍

Where's part 3? I was digging this!

What part of Tammy are we focusing on LOL. I was looking at race but...

knurling is what they call that seen it done in a shop i worked at in the past. watching this vid because my 04 f 150 is making the same noise and i know it has a back lash issue as well, im hoping its not as bad as this one.

on my 2002 F150, something in my drivetrain makes noise as I approach 50mph. Doesn't make more or less noise if I push the accelerator or not. Already replaced the rear wheel bearings. Wondering where I should look next.

Happy Belated Birthday

Got to love her sense of humor LOL

can you weld a piece of pipe over that section that’s rusted Out?

Hooo boy you should hear what the rear diff on the project truck I bought yesterday sounds like 🤣

Dude, you are what a wrench should be, dad would be proud

why wouldn't you use the same spring u bolts again ?

The whole time I was watching this I was wondering how many hours you put into this job? Now, having said that, I realize filming it for KZread, and explaining what you were doing probablly slowed things down a lot. But still I would imagine this being at least a 4 hour job at your regular-professional speed?

most likely was! thanks for bringing this up! i was leaning towards the same after finding out it was at another shop a few weeks earlier for a axle bearing and seal as mentioned in part 1. not sure why i failed to mention again in this part. thank you. i agree that is very likely! just because i drained a lot out we cant forget it was most likely topped off a few weeks ago, wish i had that answer

Pulling stumps? That should explain it all. The guy could have bought an old farm tractor for the cost of his differential damage. Nice video. Had a few f-150's 98-2000 and the differential had a whine and lot of play in them.

Ive seen a few with shims on the outer bearings

Mine had a drum brakes put on . Got a used rear end with discs and luckly came from a wrecked truck. I didn't want to mess with it . Changing crown and pinion plus bearings and seals would run up the price and would be still taking a chance to get it set to specs

Very professional job what's the cost

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

THIS IS GREAT ADDITIVE TO PUT IN IF YOU HAVE ANY DRAG Genuine Ford Fluid XL-3 Friction Modifier Additive - 4 oz.

05 f150 I have 373 gr under warranty told ford noise in rear end same as you have they did something to it but came back later it whines under load one day will rebuild and add locker.

Hahahaha, chicken pecked the top and bottom of the support case halves. Yep, seen this many times. Rebuilt diffs for almost 9 years in the heavy duty, over the road, and agricultural industry. Sometimes the support case halves are so obsolete that you cant find the parts on old diffs and things that you just have to chicken peck the surfaces and throw some red loctite on it and hope for the best.

i have never seen a factory 4.56 gear ever put in a ford or any make of truck newer than 1960 so someone put it in and did it wrong. after you got done with the rear i hope you checked the front end also

I would toss that carrier . Chances are the traction lock clutches are shot too . Mine has chatter on taking off on turns . I want to use a torsen style carrier on mine

seeing the same Ford problems over the years I have come to believe that the Ring is only surface hardened, and the gear is actually fairly soft thus, under heavy loads, the pattern distorts

I should have clarified that, sorry for the misinterpretation, thank for bringing this up though. We found the reasoning to be pretty obvious this time around, if they have used them on the 9.75" I just haven't seen it. They may in certain applications

robinsonsauto thanks will iam a Chevy man myself they seem easier to me on there rear differentials I think chevys are manufactured by American axles Corp now days they seem easier to set up then a dana the danas sometimes have to have a case spreader to get the side bearings to go in with the shims for the proper preload the diff case design is just so damn tight on those danas! I will stick to my chevys but in your case you have to do whatever comes your way because it's your profession I just like to do automotive for a hobby iam working on my old 1990 Chevy k1500 truck just about every summer its great teacher for basic automotive training easy to work on!

I know you have to make money… and the client doesn’t want to spend too much….. but if it were my rear end, I’d want to get a new or rebuilt rear end. Their only about $300-500 depending on the remanufacturing company. I have an 07 that I purchased with 60k mikes a couple of months ago. The previous owner was trying to be nice and have all the fluids swapped. Unfortunately they put the wrong fluid in the rear end and within 100 miles it was screaming. I’m just going to order s new front and rear end differential and get 4:10 gears for the 35” tires I’m planning to use. Hope your company is growing band and your doing well.

Looks like he was pulling “things” out backwards on the coast side.

I think she wanted to give you something for your birthday!!!

The ring gear change probably weight reduction schedule per Ford.They need a bit more left shim or did someone over torque pinion gear . That ok is ford OE maybe its in my 2002 9.75 im original owner

Last time I put a ring gear on a carrier just used a rubber mallet to tap it in place.
