What gears were in it before?

TheyCallMeCoolRon says:

Great video! Thank you for the step by step.

Jimbo says:

Great video….question…was the gear ratio already 4.88….it obviously was or you would have had to do the front right ?

onceonceochenta says:

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

Roland Jenkins says:

Thanks a bunch of the tip on freezer and over. Took two tries but the second time it went just like in your video.

Eric Piepmeier says:

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.

Cody Ellington says:

Great video. Very well detailed DIY.

Lick Wicked says:

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.

mel plishka says:

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 ?

Douglas Edwards says:

Hiw did you get the old bearings off you never showed that.

Brody Adams says:

Did you change the carrier bearings?

Jacked 2 Jeep says:

How did you get them to sponsor you?

Jon Becker says:

That’s a pretty cool rotor trick as long I guess as you don’t have drum brakes on an older model.

justlookin251116 says:

Excellent thank you

mel plishka says:

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.

Dude Of paquetville says:

The shims you use come whit the kit off yukon gear?

Chris Does What - DIY, Recipes, Travel says:

Good video, about to do a gear change on our jeep.

dtmphone 1 says:

Scott D says:

how did you measure the pinion depth?

Someone Somewhere says:

LOVE THE MUSCLE SHIRT WITH ZERO MUSCLE MASS….HELL YEAH MAN

Travis Mccarthy says:

My mans bare foot!! Awesome job guys nice video!!

BLUE SKY BROTHERS says:

Super video but i have question.What is the sensor you left inside on the top right side what this sensor do.

MophinLew says:

Thanks for the good tutorial video. It was also a pretty big confidence booster for me doing this job.

JL's Jk says:

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

I B Trippin says:

Be careful !! Don't kill the Mushroom.

wdsracer says:

Hi wouldn’t you want to replace the pinion bearing RACES that were in the housing? Did I miss that step?

Jeffrey Starnes says:

Love the video!!! Just an FYI but I would put a tire under the Jeep for added safety.

Daniel S says:

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.

Josh rodriguez says:

You guys anywhere near Dallas Texas ?

rafael molina says:

So I can put a different gear ratio in the back and leave the front stock?? It will be great…
