I know this isn't what you guys want from me, but I needed to do this conversion on my truck and I have a lot of fellow enthusiasts who need to know how to do this stuff too, so I filmed it. Hope you enjoy it. anyway. Thanks! At the very least you can laugh with me while I do dumb stuff 🙃

Keep these video coming! This one takes me back to when I was building a Dana 60 for my 2 door Tahoe. It has a Ford high pinion center, Chevrolet outers with Reid knuckles, and to top it off I bolted on some 90’s era dodge 3/4 ton wheels. I call it the Detroit Hat Trick axle. Lol I learned so much about the one ton axles back then. What fit what, what years had what options, widths, u-joint size, etc. Sadly I have forgotten most of it by now...

29:00 ... The "load" on those little bearings are when you are NOT in 4x4. So the shaft is sitting still, and the wheel is turning around the shaft (so there's not much load, ever-- but still a lot of free spinning). When you put it in 4x4-- the wheel and the shaft are turning together, so then that bearing is no longer spinning at that point. I have a 2002 F350 7.3L Diesel, which I believe has Dana 60 axle in the front --- and it has that same little needle bearing on my shafts, and they are very loud, because they lose their grease so easily, and then it's constantly spinning on those outer shafts when you're only in 2wd. It's really a bad design IMO-- because on my F350, it has those sealed hubs for the wheel bearings, which seem to last forever--- so that little needle bearing on the shaft ends up getting neglected, and wears a grove into those outer shafts. They should have designed that little bearing to be a sealed bearing, and it would have lasted so much longer.

In a very respectful way, I have to say it was pretty cool seeing you out of your normal element. It shows the sincerity of what you do and how when technicians weather professional or do it yourself run into issues there are always those willing to help. Definitely a different type of video but very much appreciated. I definitely look forward to the next video 😊

Honestly, you,Eric at SMA, Ivan at PHAD, just about any video y'all put out, we're gonna want to watch. Because you all are just that good. Wife and kids cleaned house the other day, and I tore it back up because I couldn't find your book I have.

Use both locking rings to double the pulling threads. I have also used a 2x4 against the spindle and hit that with a hammer. This is fun stuff. Thanks for bringing us along.

Awesome job on this video man! Tons of useful info/tips

Cool rebuild and conversion. Modifying trucks / machines is pure mechanic essence which is find a way to make it work for what you need. Doesn’t get more America than that.

I've been following your content for years and like the fellow mentioned below it is great seeing you outside of the norm and sharing. This is some of the hardest most difficult mechanic work there is in my opinion and many can benefit from a few tips. This video would apply to quite a few axles including obs Ford, just slight variations.

I appreciate that! Thank you! I am by no means an expert with this stuff, but maybe that's good too? Showing the struggles and the doubt with things can help a DIYer in his driveway for sure.

When using the puller hit the end of the threaded shaft, you notice the space between the top of the shaft and the hex. That is to allow for hammering on the shaft. The vibration helps free whatever your pulling. Hit it, tighten it, hit it again. You’ll see how much better it works.

I remember when I first started I was afraid of the torch and would take twice as long working stuff back and forth now I’m comfortable with it I use it daily here in New York

Great video Brotha! I actually met the owner of Timken at a Speedway fuel stop in Southbend ind. Super nice guy!

Just signed up for sd premium,that’s a good looking truck reminds me of the show Simon and Simon

take it to a machine shop and have them spray weld it and turn it down, probably cheaper to buy a new shaft

I have no idea but I somehow missed that video in my subscription box. That axle appears to be from a state where they live by "it can't be stuck if it's liquid". Like others already said, I also enjoy this kind of content. And honestly, video quality is not that important for me. More important is audio as well as the actual content. Just some things about me: I'm a DIY and enjoy working on my car nut work in IT. I most likely will never need to do most if not all of the diagnosis you do. However, I enjoy your content because I like to learn new stuff about things I'm interested in and you do a very good job of that. Also, some of the stuff like the way of thinking and how to approach a problem can also be (translated and) applied to other stuff like IT. Ex. finding the common thing about all the failed things (like a bad ground) and go from there. It's basically the same reason why I watch other automotive KZreadrs like Eric O., Ivan and ETCG (and many others). Doing that encouraged me to start working on my car in more depth as well. So, even though this does not involve scopes or scantools for thousands of dollars, it is still a great video as it shows problem solving and teaching regardless.

there's a really crappy seal thats supposed to seal the shaft and that little bearing. most people tear them apart and they aren't in there so out of sight out of mind. i think thats why that side was all rusted up.

@calholli

Жыл бұрын

@@richardcranium5839 Yeah, that was my point. The large sealed hub wheel bearings last so much longer than that little axle seal, and water gets into that little needle bearing and washes it out; It just needs so much more maintenance than the big bearings, so it gets absolutely neglected, and most people don't seem to know this-- hell, I didn't know it until I seen how bad my outer shafts were worn because of it............ One little trick you can do is try to get in there with a NEEDLE on your grease gun; Since the seal is probably shot anyway-- you can pierce the top of that seal on the inside and fill it back up with grease without taking it all apart. (at least on the dana 60 axle).. they should have made these with a grease zerk somewhere and it would have solved everything. I bet they have sold a LOT of those outer axles; because I have never personally seen one that wasn't worn, scratched or gouged, or just flat out destroyed. They almost always need outer axles-- and this video is no exception.. The REAL failure is that it doesn't have a RACE on the shaft. They chose to let the bearing ride directly onto the shaft, rather than having a simple hardened bearing race be pressed on there, like every other bearing surface ever made... Even worse, once the bearing or shaft gets worn -- it destroys the seal even more, since the shaft is no longer held in the center, it can move around a bit; it destroys the seal even more, which lets in more water, washing out all the grease, which wears down the shaft even faster and it's just a runaway issue.

About 13 minutes in when you said you thought the spindle was already moving, capitalize on your two jaw puller to tell you whether or not it did. If it did move, that means tension has been released on the puller. For the moments the puller doesnt' just fall off altogether, you'll feel the forcing screw turn easy for a bit more than it did and feel it out as you continue turning the screw, Return to chisel or hammer therapy tactics as needed along the way, but keep using the tension on the forcing screw to help tell you when. One thing I'd like to see you try out in a video is a 2", 20,000 rpm, .006" strand wire wheel on a die grinder for some of that fussy cleaning. Grainger has them and their part number is 3A204. Wear your safety glasses and expect to wear some strands eventually. But these wheels do a great job of fine cleaning without eating up the surface you're trying to preserve. With good throttle control of your die grinder at around 50%, it does amazing things with cleaning and preserving aluminum surfaces too. I'll be happy to donate and mail you one if you have a PO box I can send it to.

the loose fitting bearing cant you pop it into college put on lathe turned down to clean put weld to build up and re machine to size good practice for the students in the machine shop or shrink tube on have you seen cutting edge engineering and some of the repairs he s done on youtube

Wo man

First off, great video! It explained a lot of what i MAY be looking at doing in the fairly near future! I have a 90 w150, that i've swapped to '78 w200 axles. I've been through 2 front left u-joints, 2 front left outer shafts, and now 1 left inner shaft, due to the u-joints giving out. (I've made it a point to grease 'em, since the first one gave out and took the first outer shaft with it). This last time, i'm HOPING the busted inner shaft yoke was just weakened from the trauma, from the first u-joint failure. Both instances, the joint gave out, and out of necessity to get the truck to a trailer i had to drive on it... Aside from the fact that they're both "3/4-ton axles", can anyone tell me why i SHOULD look into doing what you've just done, opposed to converting my original CAD 44 to 8-lug? (These full-time 44 axle parts seem to be getting harder to get ahold of... i've bought all 3 shafts from torqueking, in the last 9 months) if anyone DOES have input for converting to the 8-lug, i'd greatly appreciate a list of NEEDED components! Thanks again, @scannerdanner!

👌👌

There is a you tube channel the ram man has modern conversion kit really nice

My 97 Isuzu Rodeo has a center axle disconnect like that. It's vacuum operated. I'm debating on welding it solid and just converting to manual locking hubs--- because at 320k miles-- that axle disconnect is trying to stop working on me.

@13:55 trying to get the spindle off. i go in between two studs then again 180 out drill and tap for jack screws. no chance of hurting the spindle.

It's such a pain tracking down parts to swap these back.
