Love the drink breaks. Cars would be too much of a pain in the ass if you
couldn’t have a brew on hand;) keep up the good work man
I always liked the rubber plug, it never seizes up like the metal ones. I
got caught on a GMC where the fill bolt was rust welded in. I ended up
removing the cover and drilling it to the same size as one of them rubber
plugs. Worked great and still in use today.
sweet
do u kno what gear ratio may be best?
97Jeep Wnglr, (while driving) the rear end shifts (moves, jerks)
sideways/to-the-right after shifting into 2nd gear and upon letting off the
clutch (engaging the drive-train). Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated.
PS: Excellent presentations (and beer-brake remiders)!
I wouldn’t call you a idiot but hopefully I will be able to teach you
something with all the videos on the jeep that i have uploaded
i plan on running 33’s next year and going to run 4.56 gear ratio, however
with your jeep being a 4 cyl you’ll have to see what gears you have now.
I’m thinking 4.11 gears
i should have yes, to do it properly however the rear end is getting a
complete rebuild in the next couple months that’s why I did not bother
doing it
You keep it real brother. Thanks
Just bought a jeep and this guy rules man its cool he would take the time
to show an idiot like me how to take care of my jeep…right on man
He should have checked the spider Gears and check for Sharingan.
Also can you show us in a little more detail, what you use to extract the
oil from the diff as well as replacing the oil?
the front diff I haven’t done yet but i will do a proper job doing the
front by removing the diff cover and inspecting the gears
nothing would happen
Yes you should always remove the cover and inspect the gears, however I
plan on doing a gear swap in the next year so all new bearings and gears
will be installed that’s why i wasn’t too concerned about removing the rear
cover
Pull the pumpkin, check the gears. spend the $6 on the RTV.
Do you repeat this process for the front diff?
ty
worm in tequila … bug in a beer )
too bad you live in Canada…i’d love to grab a brew with you in the
states. Keep up the good work – I really appreciate the help
I should have actually filmed it, but All i used was my oil extractor for
the boat and a special pump that works with the oil bottles to fill it up
i asked because i had a reputable shop channge my rear diff fluid on my 08
ram 1500 and on the bill there was additive cost.. but i know when its
jacked up the wheels spin diffirent direction
the rubber plug is nice because you can use a extractor to change fluid,
however they should be made with a drain plug to make servicing easier. My
bmw has drain plugs on both front and rear axles
iv got a 97 jeep tj 2.5 4cyl iv got 33′ mud tires and i have a lose of
power in 5th. i was told that changing the diff gears would be the best way
to get some power back is that true?
your axle will have a tag and you can decode that to see what kind of rear
end you have. a limited slip diff will need to slip a bit before it locks,
i should have been more clear on that in my video,
ok thank u very much
what if by mistake u put lsd additive in a reg gear oil diff
you should always open the cover use some brake cleaner to clean it out
well look for damage. then reinstall and fill up
beeeeeeer is good except it’s now winter and -10 today so i think its time
to change to spiced rum and whiskey for the cold winter months
that is the only way you can get power back is by changing your gears
yah u should take cover off to check gears. then toss out the RTV and use
LubeLocker gaskets
thanks, i managed to do it with a hand pump. thanks to your videos i
changed the fluid in both diffs and the jeep running quieter now!
3:32 is my favorite part
i would first off check the bushings in the track bar in the rear that’s
what holds the rear end evenly, and also check your control arm bushings
i.e upper and lower. Plus look for any loose or busted hardware, let me
know what you find out
