On this episode I wanted to close out the rear differential project so I started out installing the new spicer u-joints and front driveshaft. However, when I started on the back I realized it was the time to replace the rear/rear u-joint that I had left in place when I pulled the 3rd member. So I ran over to Traction to buy another ujoint and borrow the Tiger tool. It proved to be the most stubborn ujoint of the bunch, likely due to many winters of road salt and then sitting in the rain for 10 years in that field. Eventually after trying many different setups I was able to finally hammer out those caps and replace it with new. Now the drive train is ready for the road.
Hope you enjoy the video and thanks for all the comments, suggestions and support!

It's amazing how much progress you've made since you first got this truck .

@rickycarter1142 5 лет назад

Getting a new video on this truck is almost like Christmas anymore. You just can’t wait to see how far it’s come and almost in road condition.

@keithmelton3741 5 лет назад

I am sure this guy knows his shit, I have only been driving 5 years now, and I didn't know that mechanics could install a drive line out of time, until i had a u joint replaced and the truck felt like it was a bucking bronco. I called a guy that drove for us and told him what was going on, and that was the first time i even knew that was a thing. Glen was a good ol boy beat cancer twice and passed away from a damn blood clot! That's the way it goes, but I always took his word as gold when I had issues! Old truckers know there shit, and I will never be too proud to ask advice from them old drivers!

@sosco22 5 лет назад

I admire how you keep on truckin

@sasbad843 5 лет назад

She’s comin along just fine; still following along and lovin’ each episode. Awesome progress!

@kunu98 5 лет назад

Never knew the U-joints never had to be pressed in!!! Very cool, all the trucks should do that, makes it easier

@reese1058 5 лет назад

This is such great work. Glad the truck is getting closer and closer to being finished. LBL.

@MichaelTJD60 5 лет назад

Well, my evening just got a heck of a lot better! You'll have her running down the road in no time.

@derekfalconberg3481 5 лет назад

Now, I griped about dry axle splines prior, but good on you for doing the last U-joint. You won’t regret it! :)

@Shane-Singleton 5 лет назад

I wish light duty u-joints like the ones on my pickup assembled like these. Being able to just screw the caps on from the outside of the yoke is extremely practical. That back one really looked like a pain in the butt. I didn't think anything would eclipse that torque multiplier fiasco from last weekend. Glad you're able to get some work done on the old girl.

@scottc4433 5 лет назад

You know your gonna catch hell for no copper coat on those caps

@TwinStix 5 лет назад

Scott C yup ... missed that

@scottc4433 5 лет назад

By rights they should last the rest of that trucks life

@mikenicholson2548 5 лет назад

One tip anti-seize the out side of the u-joint cap will save a major head ache later if you have to replace. Great video

@TwinStix 5 лет назад

mike nicholson ya I missed that ... will know better for next time

@norcalray7182 5 лет назад

I could sworn I saw needle bearing fallout on that one who use the hammer on never mind I. Rewatch the video.love the videos

@TwinStix 5 лет назад

RAY Bustabade haha hope not ... I didn’t hit it that hard ... just tapped it in

@123cheetacat123 5 лет назад

Sweet that should be just like a new driveline! Now shifting should be very smooth. ! :)

@mikedowland9949 5 лет назад

Little by little but the job is moving forward! 👍

@mtrhed2884 5 лет назад

Good call, while you’re that deep into the drivelines you might as well replace the last few U-joints. You’ll never have to fuss with them again now. One less thing to fail when you’re out with the family. Can’t wait to see you let the clutch out the first time and see it move under it own steam. Everyone is pulling for you. Take your time and do it right.

@JasonSmith-vd1sz 5 лет назад

Wow, it’s really coming together. I love these videos!

@dennissmith460 5 лет назад

If you haven't, make sure you pump the u joints full of grease after you assemble them. There's enough in them to put them together. You just don't want to run them with that little bit of assembly grease in them. The videos are great, keep em coming.

@VOOODOOO37 5 лет назад

lotta brute force work. Like the progress!

@DieselDoc78 5 лет назад

Good on ya sir. Full rounds are a pain in the butt! Especially when you were trying to fit the one in the back of the tranny. I have battled that stuff for 22 years. Getting tired.....But like you say- little by little.

@roundsm18 4 года назад

Yes they are. I was hoping one day someone would have the easy answer for me. I guess the answer is probably quit being a commercial mechanic. First one I ever did out in the field I was elated... then I realized I put the driveline in out of phase. Seven years later and I will still never forget it. My current answer is two pieces of all thread that I use as alignment studs. It still only helps a little bit.

@NICKSSHOP 5 лет назад

amazing work u have done so far its coming along very nice love the video keep up the great work..

@marysoldeeley2218 5 лет назад

@1one3_Racing 5 лет назад

Huh. U joint removal tool. That's what we need. We just cut them with the gas axe and bash the caps out.

@73DiamondReo 5 лет назад

@talltrucker1031 5 лет назад

A little Johnny Cash playing in the background makes the job a lot better 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@hanksmith6479 5 лет назад

U are doing a good job I can tell u are old school I wish I could be there to help I would love that I use to be a trailer mechanic for 25 years back in the day I like doing old school project's thanks for the videos keep them coming in will be watching to the end

@hawkdsl 5 лет назад

Too late now, but its a good idea to coat the insides of the yoke/drive shaft ears with anti seize. Keeps em from rust welding in there, and makes it a hell of allot easier to get those caps out if the need arises.

@TwinStix 5 лет назад

hawkdsl ya I wish I would have known that ... oh well next time I guess

@awkwarddude 5 лет назад

Watching and enjoying every one of your videos. I totally get wanting to restore something as cool as that Pete. I'm an old motorhead/gearhead/wrenchhead who grew up on carbs and ignition points, always loved anything with an engine. My oldest son was an OTR driver for about 9 years and I share his love for the big tractors. The time I spend in the Army early 70s, I was in weapons and document security but had some limited exposure to their rolling stock. Always took whatever chance I could to get behind the wheel of even just a deuce and a half. I'm sure I'm not alone in joining you in your anticipation of your Pete's first turn of the drive shafts under its own power on its maiden voyage. Onward! Oh, and remembering the old mechanic's rule (one of many!) "Knuckles bleed easier than brakes!" :-)

@roundsm18 4 года назад

Depending on how often you have to cage brakes... caging bolt sockets are a beautiful thing in case you’re on the side of the road. I also carry 8 new caging bolts because nature of the job the thing is always stuck in the chamber or someone clocked it inconveniently so it won’t remove without taking tires off. Nice work!

@jontyhofer6106 5 лет назад

We never torque the nuts on the yokes. Even on our 600 cats with the big rearends. Just use a 1” drive air wrench and giver till she stops.

@TwinStix 5 лет назад

jonty hofer good learning for next time

@jackliddy4540 5 лет назад

Love hearing Folsom prison blues in the back this truck is going to be amazing 👍

@joshp.2237 5 лет назад

Some advice I've learned the hard way. As you put those caps on into the yokes coat them real good with anti seize. Next time you need to take the drive shaft out for any reason it will go far easier.

@joshp.2237 5 лет назад

Also when removing them dont pry on the flat part the bolts go through. You will break it apart and wont be able to re use it, as I'm sure you've noticed.

@jerrythegaffer 5 лет назад

You got loads done good bud well done 👏

@warrenholmar1129 5 лет назад

Awesome stuff! And I saw a comment below who would dislike this? I honestly don't get why you would. Fitting that yolk on the prop looked like a pain!

@deanbrown4512 5 лет назад

You have some more tough weather. I still vote for a heated shop

@williamcarter7655 5 лет назад

Great job,, I’ve learned a lot about big rigs that I had no clue about, can’t wait to watch your further restoration and getting this old boy back in on the road again, if I lived nearby I gladly jump in there and give you a hand, bye the way your attention to detail is great, much support keep up the hard work as it will pay off eventually!👍👍🍺

@Chr.U.Cas2216 5 лет назад

Really very well done again. You're a very patient man while going through all this stuff fixing, repairing, maintenancing or changing. This truck will be fantastic for sure. Good luck and best regards.

@user-rs1990 5 лет назад

I suggest using a 'lube plate' on the RV's pin box and only greasing the kingpin and 5th wheel locking jaws. Just make sure that there isn't even any slight backlash when the kingpin is locked in.

@emeraldisle70 4 года назад

Love this channel. I always smear a little anti seize on the outside of the caps. Cap will pop right out should you ever have to replace.

@dadybig6522 5 лет назад

Good job

@adriannicholson8819 5 лет назад

@FarkyDave 5 лет назад

Excellent work, my friend. You are tenacious!

@tombergman5419 5 лет назад

Just a little helpful hint next time you need to take the u joint apart when the end caps come apart from the sleeve take a bottle jack with a small socket put it under the sleeve and Jack it up. This usually gets it to pop apart if not give it a couple raps with a small sledge hammer on the yoke

Make sure line your yokes up or you'll have a horrible vibration problem. We always mark the yokes to drive shaft so we just line Mark's up put back together.

This is a great series. I’ve always wanted to tackle something like this. You’re doing such a great job. I’m subbed and looking forward to more!

@mikeg7843 5 лет назад

Dang man. After all those u joint struggles, I would have put some anti seize on the caps before they went into the yolks, for possible ease in future replacement if ya ever had to... it’d sure make for a easier job seeing as ya up there in road salt land.. awesome build also! 👌🏼

@b.atwater3904 5 лет назад

Everything was perfect until I saw an engineer use a claw hammer to move metal... OUCH, that smarts! Admire the job, and you are one tough customer working out in that weather.

@TwinStix 5 лет назад

Benjamin Atwater haha ya I need a smaller hammer for light jobs that’s not a claw 😂 #amateur

@b.atwater3904 5 лет назад

Yep, claw hammer at 5:25 #notaballpeen Any hammer in a pinch eh? Today I saw a guy driving a stainless pin on part of a sailboat with a crecent wrench, or adjustable spanner.

@warrenholmar1129 5 лет назад

Using what you have to hand having the "proper tool" doesn't make you any less of a fitter when you do the next truck I'm sure you will have "more appropriate tools" (edit: the most obvious tool you are missing is a shop, cave, tent, learn-to or any other form of shelter 😂) Some guys have the "correct" tools and still botch the job can't wait for the weather to clear up for you so we can all get an update!

I am sure someone has suggested this before, but you could borrow a bore scope camera and look inside the differential final drive. It would really suck if that ring gear was bad too.....
