What gears were in it before?
Great video! Thank you for the step by step.
Great video….question…was the gear ratio already 4.88….it obviously was or you would have had to do the front right ?
So at the start you show they play on the drive shaft, how much play do you have on the drive shaft after install? I hear thump noise on mine, between gears, (manual trans) doesn't feel right
Thanks a bunch of the tip on freezer and over. Took two tries but the second time it went just like in your video.
What did you use to hold the locker switch open? I see the string hanging there, but it is hard to tell for certain what you have holding it.
Great video. Very well detailed DIY.
Well its not done yet. After regear your check engine light will turn on. Then your JK will get into limp mode and stuck on 3rd gear. Also A/T temp light will turn on. Why dont u guys also give us tutorial how to setting TCM modul. This Junk JK has very sensitive computer, doesnt tolerate any change even in minor modification.
In the vid I noticed a string hanging out while you were installing the pumpkin .was string attached to a block too hold the plunger out ?
Hiw did you get the old bearings off you never showed that.
Did you change the carrier bearings?
How did you get them to sponsor you?
That’s a pretty cool rotor trick as long I guess as you don’t have drum brakes on an older model.
Excellent thank you
Great vid guys, a couple things tho..1- just an fyi it's very rare but some diff ring and pinions are timed maybe you can make a vid describing them , 2- did you pre lube bearings before final install? ,3- if you used the new crush sleeve you guys should go through the procedure on how to properly crush the sleeve and measure breakaway torque for your pinion preload. Other than that nice work guys .I love that diff cover too lol.ooh yeah I didn't see you guys changing pinion race lol.
The shims you use come whit the kit off yukon gear?
Good video, about to do a gear change on our jeep.
Excellent Video
ThankYou
how did you measure the pinion depth?
LOVE THE MUSCLE SHIRT WITH ZERO MUSCLE MASS….HELL YEAH MAN
My mans bare foot!! Awesome job guys nice video!!
Super video but i have question.What is the sensor you left inside on the top right side what this sensor do.
Thanks for the good tutorial video. It was also a pretty big confidence booster for me doing this job.
Warpig great video! That being said… you and your cousin want to make some extra Christmas money? Video or not…I'm not mechanically inclined enough to do this. Same as you. Yukon 4.88 But mine are sitting in boxes. Lol
Be careful !! Don't kill the Mushroom.
Hi wouldn’t you want to replace the pinion bearing RACES that were in the housing? Did I miss that step?
Love the video!!! Just an FYI but I would put a tire under the Jeep for added safety.
Thanks for making this video. Very informational on how to take apart a Dana44 JK gear box. A couple of questions: Did you check/change the pinion bearing races while you were doing this install? I also agree with the bearing preload comment, it's important to check that with a torque gauge.
You guys anywhere near Dallas Texas ?
So I can put a different gear ratio in the back and leave the front stock?? It will be great…
