THANK YOU FOR SUBSCRIBING!

[keithdawe]

no nonsense, simplified way of doing things.. you are truly an expert in your field. Thank you for taking the time to make the video. I have definitely learned from you today.

Finally A true DIY ! Covers all the important setting the Pinon ! Great Job TY !!! I have the details now i can be confident to tackle this job and it not a lack of mechanics but the finer steps needed to know as no one person i have seen showing it all !

[jasonlee]

I am at this point in my project setting up reared gears with a posi. I get in my own head and worried about screwing this up. Excellent information video. Super glad I stumbled on this. Thanks for sharing. 🤘🤘🤘

[jonify]

Thank you for the no BS and stupid reality tv crap that other people put on their “instructional” videos!! You absolutely made everthing clear for me and answered all of my questions!

[jayparlette]

This is the best demonstration of setting up rear ends I’ve ever seen. Great job.

[erik]

wait, u check a pattern? lmao just send em! nah just playin, i been changing gears for years, this is spot on info for someone who wants to see how its done. finally did 4.56s on my 08 silverado today, still worry myself to death when i change ratios vs replacement parts, nice, quite and smooth like it should be so i can sleep easy tonite,

[minig]

Man I’ve watched at least a dozen videos on this and this is the only one that gave me the confidence to tackle the job on my Silverado 4.10s and a posi! To replace the Grenade80 and 3.42s

[hotroda.]

Damn it brother!!! You have the God given ability to explain complicated shit in a easy to digest way! Top Notch Video without any bullshit and you stayed on subject

[harrysgarage]

Nice, thanks…… after 20 MIT mechanical engineering style videos yours made me the most confident.

[MacStrengthCo]

One of the best videos on gear setup and posi install. Thanks.

[joshcardwell]

Good video, i plan on going from 3.08 to 4.11 in my 8.2 10 bolt and feel more confident after watching you set yours up. Thanks for sharing.

[rdGenCs]

That was one of the better gear set videos I’ve seen on YouTube!

[sfuller]

Great tutorial!! I have a '68 C-10 that I'll begin restoring this fall. The rear diff is definitely a good place to start!

[ridendacamaro]

Thanks, I have a few 10 bolts that will need to go over and change gears. watched many videos and your video give me more confidence thanks again.

To throw this out there:

While setting preload after you throw on the crush, when you get it to 5-12lbs preload, take smooth head hammer of your choosing, with the force you would drive in a small finishing nail to wood, hit the end of the pinion (thread/shaft side) and few times, then do the same with the gear side dead in the middle of the gear.

Once in a while the bearing races didn’t completely seat. After a moderate test drive and break in, I get decel whine and find the preload lost and have to retorque. (Note: I used tamper marking paint and the nut didn’t back off), Smacking it a few times is good insurance and will give you confirmation if after smacking it a few times on each end loosens the preload to zero. 🤙

GREAT how to video brother, just kick up my confidence a bit, my old one blew up on me so I’m going in and getting her done. Thank you

[rileywalker]

I am about to do 3.90 gears and true track in my silverado. This video made me feel a lot better about it.

[kylehayes]

Best ring and pinion set up video. Outstanding work.

[jodyclancy]

I appriciate your video, worked exactly like you demonstrated, hit my 19in lb first try thanks man!

[billybobbubbawubba]

Thanks for the video. The shops in my area are charging $7-800 for this job. I'm going to do this if it takes me whatever!
