With these and other ford superduty parts going possibly (dont know the real numbers, just know many already are) obsolete any plans to make some of the superduty parts yourselves ???
Yes, some of the most recent items added to our portfolio are rear wheel hubs up to 2014 I believe. We evaluate requirements constantly, nut sure what is up next for Ford but we make lots of different parts now.
Do the 1356s have crush sleeves that need to be set when putting them back together? I'm currently pulling mine to replace the inner seal and resealing it for leakes. Thanks for sharing this video.
No crush sleeves, but if it's coming out it may be a good time to throw a rebuild kit at it anyway. The chains are rated at an average 150k life span...
Good eye! We don't do service, this was a core axle for video purposes only. All parts are reused, we have an excellent parts washing cabinet. After video completion, the axle is stripped and all unserviceable parts discarded and serviceable parts sold individually as used.
The tungsten tip can be resharpened until there is no stickout left, however we have not sharpened it since acquiring the machine a year ago. We mark thousands of items per year of various materials, I would say unless we brake the tip somehow it will last several years.
I'm tearing into one now, the front gears on the main and countershaft are completely stripped and input shaft bearing .Got to fix it cheap and good.was working and was stolen by teen that said it just locked up and quit at 15 miles.
Yes, for many years we were known as Quad 4x4 but updated to Torque King 4x4 to eliminate confusion with ATV parts, and to go along with our Torque King line of premium products. Our tools are still manufactured under the Quad 4x4/ Quad Tools brands at our Roberts, Montana machine shop.
i did my u-joints without renoving axle shafts while doung ball joints, easy pease, even for a 64 year old retired diesel mechanic with a 03 3rd gen sitting on driveway,
Is it possible to get the 3rd member to tight? I adjusted my bearing preload with that tiny tool and it took some pretty good leverage with my ratchet. Is it supposed to be that tight? I mean i did check overall pinion inch lbs after i finished and im sitting at 40inch pounds total from the pinion and 3rd member preload. I just dont want that 3rd member to tight. Might overheat if i got the preload on the third member to tight right?
You should be ok with pinion at 40, the diff adjustment should also be fine if you followed correct hole adjustment. The bearings end up getting preloaded several thousandths, so it is tight with the tool.
Is the big gear supposed to be all gritty spinning it freely? It goes away moving the shift collar… but I don’t remember it being all crunchy spinning freely 🫤
I put a white mark on all the parts saying all faces input shaft. Took it out spun it got everything back in case and I think I gotta pull it once again. Cause nothing wants to turn 😂😢
Where was the torque calculation since the tool added leverage to the torque wrench? Why not put the torque wrench on the tail shaft so that it is on center? Amateurs.
Way overboard on the sealant. I would never beat on a syncro hub with a metal pipe like that. Learn how to use heat and freezing. That stuff will fall on. It's called finesse.
There are several differences between the housings, but we have not gone through to see what is needed to convert a newer Dana 60 to a hub/spindle setup from older parts. There are conversion kits available though. torqueking.com/category/hub-kits-dynatrac-free-spin-1999-2004-ford/#y=777
@TorqueKingTV gotcha yeah I'm looking to put the older hubs on a newer 60. For my 94. Want 3:55 gears. Just seeing if there was a cheaper why to make it happen with out tearing into the houseing
Great videos! Building my second NV5600. Why cant you leave all the shift rails out and input seal when checking end play?? I remember my last one. Its an act of god getting them all lines up.
Sure looks like the front to me unless you have a rear steer axle! Offset differential housing and knuckle "C" at each end of tube kind of give it away...
Never heard anyone call the outer baring race "cups", but I'm not saying it isn't a proper term either. I assumed the "cups" are what the outer bearing races went into? Also, what was the reasoning behind swapping out the tone ring? I couldn't see damage to it?
Actually, cup and cone is the terminology used by the bearing manufacturing industry for race/bearing.... Quite technical, but it all means the same thing. We removed the tone ring to show the process, but it is not required if in good condition.
Id like to see another video that covers the seal that also includes the wear sleeve! It sounds like its installed the same as this seal but with the wear sleeve at the same time.
I don't have anything to do that video at the moment... But process is identical, the wear sleeve comes pre-installed in our seals and our tool is made to install everything simultaneously.
hey, I got a question. I can't find an answer on forms or anywhere. The seal on the rear output shaft, is that installed from the inside or can I just replace that from the outside? like remove my transfer case, replace the seal and put the transfer back on
That is 100% an outside job, although your transfer case is also sealed from the input... Not sure what kind of leak you have but while you're in there check the 5600 for shaft play and that the vent on top of tailhousing isn't plugged.
I have a single rear wheel drive Dana 80 on my 99 1/2 f250 I was told on the tag 373 gears and that it was a one ton Axle my question is when I seen you pull disk/drum off and apart it looked like mine ? Is it possible to make mine a dual wheel set up. I would appreciate an answer it looks like I would need the dual drum/disk to bolt to my hub I appreciate the information.
Ford only uses a Dana 80 in DRW applications... Single wheel was limited to Dana 60 and 70, but Sterling axles are more common. Generally speaking, a SRW uses a larger inner wheel bearing and that limits hub interchangeability. We do have some spacer adapters available for this conversion but we need to verify which axle it is. Send us axle pictures to sales@torqueking.com and we can evaluate your options.
