1994-2018 Ram 1500 9.25' rear differential rebuild assembly pt2

How to fix axle and pinion bearings. This was a 2008. These Dodge axles are pretty much the same from 1994-2018, I do believe. Check your specifications for differences. 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017. 94 95 96 97 98 99 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

I was not expecting this dude to be rocking sandals, what a legend

[thefinalgrind]

Thanks to you, first time pulling and rebuilding the rear end was a success. 6hrs while at work. Can't beat that.

[gperiso]

Just want to say thank u for taking the time to post this video... u saved me thousands of dollars my friend keep up the great work... I didn't have fancy dials n such but I did what u said 2 turns and messed with it and it seems to be going down the road... again thank u my friend ur a life saver

[danstreazy]

Really like what you did with this video, I had a spacer between the pinion race and housing on my 2011 and I just re-used it. Your video saved me 3K plus as the shops around me just wanted to swap out the entire rear end and wouldn't do the bearing job.

[stacysullivan]

Thank you man. You helped me out way more than you know. Finally got done with my 2016 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie 4x4 with a 9.25 3.21 rear end. So far no noise anywhere from 0-75 mph.

[spelunkerd]

This video, finally, brought me to a new plateau in terms of understanding how and why this is being done. Thanks!

[coyoteaustin]

great video, Chrysler dealer tech and I do a lot of diesel work, electrical and trans, suspension, etc. This is a great video for visual learning to help me master axle assembly rebuilds, thank you!

[randyharpel]

Thank you for this!! You explainedit extremely well and gave me the confidenceto do it myself. The hardest part will be acquiring all the tools. Time to get started!!

[Malomex]

Awesome video... This guy is great.. I like the way he calls out the size of bolt it is and tells you exactly how to do the job.. Great work my friend..

[frnkpol]

Because of this video, I was able to do my own truck. Thank you so much.

[MrDobrojoe]

Love this guy.. thought he was Canadian at first. I gotta do my rear diff, same truck, good refresher.. like the way you fast forward through all the common knowledge stuff. Good video. Thanks

Hey Man, Superb job. Really I mean it and I never, ever write comments on these things. I gotta hand it to you that is a perfect job. I am a shop to your west in Dakota North!! I work on these things all the time also and one of my guys told me to check your video out, so I did and I just wanted to add my two cents and say what a great write up and video, have a great day!!

The only other thing you should have checked is the pinion depth. You can do that 2 different ways. I use the easy way to check it. I use the yellow grease that you paint on the ring gear and then turn the pinion and watch where the pattern shows up on the ring gear. Or you can measure the pinion depth with a pinion depth tool. The contact should be in the middle of the ring gear tooth in all directions. If it's too deep or too far out you will have to add or remove shims. The other thing is I hardly ever use new crush sleeves. The old ones can be reused no matter what they tell you. NOT ALL THE TIME, but most times. Most times if you re use the pinion shims and the crush sleeve, the pinion depth will be ok.

I just finished my 2004 Dif rebuild. Thanks so much for this video. You saved my bacon...

[wickerman]

Very good video. I like how you went step by step. This was what I’m planning to do this weekend if all my parts are here by Friday. Thanks for the video man

[rilli]

Nice job, not easy to work with a camera in your way. This really helped.

[CzMnHD]

pro tip use hydraulic press to slighty initiate crush sleeve. So you dont have to use too much force when installing them. Also you can reuse old one if you happen to need more shims for the pinion. Second set of new bearings helps to get the job done quicker if you make bearings slide on and off without any pressing.

[shawangunk]

One of the best illustrations ever. I like the fact during the whole thing you weren’t trying to tell everybody how smart you are.LOL

[theglitch]

I was going to replace my pinion bering myself. Now I'm thinking dang it. This looks technical!

[saturnthefox]

I like your style my friend. I am getting ready to do this job on my 1992 ramcharger. thank you for making this videos
