Dodge ram 1500 front differential removal nut and bolt. Covered it very well.great video

So in this video I’m pulling the front differential out of a 2004 Dodge ram 1500 I’ve done this job several times most of the time on the Dodge Dakota‘s and Dodge Durango‘s. It was pretty much the same except in this video and on this Dodge Ram I have to actually take the ball joint out of the upper control arm. And that is some really good stuff because I show you a super tip!! on how to remove it without destroying it.Also if you’re watching the video you’ll notice that I took out the torsion bar brace support. I really don’t think this was necessary but I did it prior to removing the ball joint upper control arm. With the hopes that I could pull the differential axles out without removing the wheels. That was unsuccessful. So I do not cover the torsion bar removal in the video. But it was only held in by 4 nuts and bolts. And you can simply pry it out from between the two of them. I hope the video was helpful God bless and have the best of days

Thank you for your dedication in teaching everyone I really needed I it a lot

On my truck ('06 Ram 1500 SLT 4x4 5.7L Hemi) the 2 bolts at the very top of the differential were actually 18mm bolt head and 21mm nut. Not sure if the measurements you gave for those 2 were just mistaken or if this truck just had a different setup. But for anyone doing this, be prepared in case those bolts are larger than expected. The top front one is especially hard to get to. You have very little room to get a socket over it without it hititng the frame. Bad design. You need a deep socket, but not TOO deep, or it will hit the frame. I am going to cut these bolts a bit shorter, so that when they go back on, there is no thread sticking out past the nut, so that it's flush wiht the nut. That will allow me to use a shorter socket next time which will really help with removal.

Another video the guy cracked the hub assembly after striking it. Thank you for posting this. Im about to take this on myself. I spray down the lug nuts with wd40 to make the socket slide on and off easier.

Awesome video bro! My front differential on my dodge ram 2004 1500 5.7 just broke on the passenger side where the two bolts go in, had put in on 4x4 yesterday and drove it a bit when i went to make a right turn i just heard a loud breake! Took it back looked under the truck and that image of the whole differential fell and hit the cross bar is really whats holding it up . I had changed the oil pan and gasket months ago and i had to bring the differential down to replace it. When i tried putting everything back i could not for the life of me put the two bolts that go in on the driver side thwy just kept hitting the oil pan. So i left it like that without those two bolts. And put the 3 bolts and two passeneger . Now this is what i get for not putting the bolta back. Im thinking just getting same bolts and figuring out how to get them in so it could hold differential up even with the broken passenger layour were the two bolts hold it up?

Great video. I have to change my front differential on my 2004 dodge ram 1500. Do you think it's doable without a lift? I'd be attempting it in my garage.

[yogideer]

Great job...my differential just went on my 2004 dodge ram 1500
Do you have time change out 1more???🙏

[ldroski]

So you accessed both top bolts from the front side of the diff? Just used and extended ratchet wrench? I’m having trouble getting the back side bolt.

[jesuslver]

I need some help with my 04 ram 1500, when I first got it I notice that it was missing the front cv axles and front shaft now I'm slowly starting to get the money together to buy them all new and get my 4x4 back but I'm not exactly sure if my front diff is ok or not and I really don't want to go installing new parts just to find out it was screwed later and have to take them back out, any advice on what I should test out / try out to know its in working condition? btw love the vid very informative and awesome camera positioning.
