"There are no mistakes, just happy little accidents" - Bob Ross. Great video as usual.

That was straightforward. Made the job look a lot more doable.

Rear ends. What a happy subjec!

Even though it was a Ford, still interesting. All good to know. Just found a Studebaker in my local old car yard.and it was mostly there.

Your timing of videos is so funny to my car troubles I must share this story a month or so ago my 87 Ram chargers drive line exploded while driving down the road. I thought it was the drive line come to find out the rear end came apart. trying to Find gears and things to Rebuild the rear end I Found a used rear axle and put it in after Driving it The Used rear end was howling and making a lot of noise so I bought a new set of gears from rigid axles and Wanted to put in new gears Myself Never doing it before I wasn't a 100% confident doing it and the gears were quite expensive I called many shops and I had a lot of shops that would not do it they weren't trained and did know how to Install gears. I finally found a shop that could do it and they installed the gears and then charged me full rate and gave me the truck back my speedometer was off and the truck drove funny come to find out the gear set that was delivered was wrong the people that installed it knew it was wrong when they installed it but because I supplied them they said that was my fault instead of calling me and asking they even knew The reason it was there was for noisy gears and that I did not want to change the ratio. So then I had to order a new set of gears the correct set and have them installed. my $2000 toy 87 Ram charger just cost me $2300 for the rear end I should of done it myself

Looking forward to the 8.75 rebuild and setup..With sure grip and new gears hopefully

Great video! I've never wrenched on a differential. Scared of 'em.

I was too, for a long time. But eventually was in a situation where I just kind of had to, and after making a couple mild tactical errors, I got the hang of it.

Jeepy goodness. Great video dude!

You have good taste in tools (the brand name and the cobbled together varieties).

Great job! Great information! Great video!👍

yes, do a mopar 8-3/4 rear please.

should look at the diff cover video that Gayle Banks did and heat tells how the pinion is oiled

Geezo! I missed this video the other day somehow! I blame it on my stupid finger. I rebuilt my Dana 60 with a Richmond kit. The supplied yellow goop would not produce a good reading. I used white spray paint, and it worked great! I'm amazed that neither of you spurted any blood! Good job you guys! And remember... if you can't laugh at yourself, I will do it for you! (Another Bad Ash original!)

Oh that’s a good one. Haha. Yes, remarkably little blood was shed that day. We’re doing the Dana 30 front end in the jeep today. No blood… but lots of god damn obscenities, fuck this thing.

Great job ! I can't wait for the 8-3/4 sure grip sequel. I need to change the gears on my challenger. I think when I do that I'm gonna do a disc brake conversion too.

Studebaker...yummmmmyyy!!!!

Complicated, delicate, brutal & easy all on the same job....

Good content thank you...

I have a limited slip that came with my Lil Red…never had the guts to put it in.

When you do the 8 3/4 video, can you make sure to include details about the 489 case? Fixing to have to rebuild one i just bought. Thanks!

I will see what I can do, but it seems more likely I would have my hands in the 741/742. I will try to do a big video where I cover the differences between them.

Or if you don't have a fancy dial indicator get you some shoe Polish and look for a cigar shaped imprint on the gears that's the Old School way for some of us who do it in the driveway who Don't have Fancy dial indicators from Harbor for

Oh I paid way more than harbor freight price for that one… but $20 says it’s the same junk. Dial already broke once.

The gear surface isn't rusted. That is spalling. It is a form of gear wear where the surface separates from the rest of the parent material due to fatigue.

@DeadDodgeGarage

6 ай бұрын

Why is it only showing that wear in areas that do not make contact between the two gears? And why are those areas full of rust staining? The pattern looks just like several rusty gear sets that I found pictures of online - gear sets that, like this one, have sat around unused for years and have seen way more moisture than they ever should have. I don’t know what the mechanical process for preserving the areas that make contact is, but I suspect the forces acting on the gear oil film between the two gears could explain it. I don’t know how a gear could fatigue in an area that - at least when cold - makes no contact with its mated gear.

Yeah well..... I looked at the yellow 💛 TJ jeep 👀 wrangler ..... And the Studebaker 🤭 Mmmmm...... pudding 🍮 for diff , fluid " No , I don't remember , Why would you do that ? " .....LMAO 😂 Jesus Chrysler !! That phase angle is , quite substantial !! Oh , Christ , I hate dual pattern wheels too

The angle is likely why the double cardan joint decided to exit stage right. (I'm the owner of Jeep. It also needs the front diff re-done(re-geared+lunchbox), so I'll be convincing him to help me with that one as well. haha.)

kind of like a outdrive on a boat, sorta almost
