In b4 someone tells me I should have installed a locker instead of putting the stock spider gear open differential back in and upgraded to ZJ discs instead of redoing the drums.
See instagram for more on the XJ: restoration...
I’ve been restoring this old Jeep Cherokee for a few years now and started working on the underbody a few months ago. I figured I might as well get two birds stoned at once and make a video out of restoring / rebuilding the Chrysler 8.25 rear axle. I’m pretty happy with how the rear end turned out considering how rusty it was before I started this restoration.
I’m sure I’ll be able make at least a couple videos of restoring things in the front end of the Jeep in the near future if you guys are interested. Let me know what you think about these types of automotive restoration videos. I think they are good as long as they follow a structured restoration type video with a satisfying start to finish.
Stick around until the end for some straight-piped straight-six engine ASMR!

I'm 78 yrs old. yojur typical backyard limited knowledge mechanic. always done all that i could do to keep my vehicles running and save lots no tons of money. and at today's rip off prices I would save a fortune. I"m old enoght to remember when mechanics used to tear down starters,Generators. Altinators. carbs. fuel pumps and repair them and replace them. at 1/5th the cost of a new part. those days are gone hell they are not even good parts replacers nowdays. God I miss the good old mechanics this brought back many memory's of how and what to do. and like a lot of others I enjoyed the quiet. no yaking to impress everyone with their lack of knowledge really. just action, it was self explanitory even to a mechanical dunce like me. Thank you for a very informative tutorial, enjoyable rebuild. no BS just good honest craftsmanship. a lost art nowdays. thankyou thankyou thankyou!

@theshadow4292 2 года назад

Thank you, RS for a better way of instructing the viewing audience on how such mechanical work is performed professionally. No noise, no barking dogs, no inquisitive cats, no music, no children, no wife, no explaining, just excellent restoration work from start to finish with closeup visual information along with demonstrated knowledge and professionalism, no need for any talk about how the work is gonna be done, you just do it for all fans to see.

@alfredomarquez9777 3 года назад

Excellent Resto-Reparation! One thing you could have done, is to install the coiled spring sleeve on the brake lines. I have seen damaged tubing several times, and found that the protection achieved with that type of sleeving is truly outstanding against flying rocks and even some crushing! Just a suggestion. Another one is adding EP additive (Extreme Pressure, like moly) to the refill. That takes care of any realignment when changing bearings,as it is impossible to keep 100% exactly the same gear teeth meshing... microscopic changes are introduced, but using EP allows to create a new contact surface and prolong life.

@@dneilson2412 I think but I'm not sure they meant the 3M brake clean or whatever that was they sprayed on some of the parts. That wasn't done primarily to clean the parts it was to place a layer of oil residue on the areas that need to remain smooth and slightly lubed, the shiny areas. Which are areas things like bearings are pressed on to.

I don’t know why this video popped into my RU-vid feed but I had to watch it. Back in the 1980’s and 90’s I was a technician for Dodge. Watching the vide brought back all of the memories, the individual smells from the materials, the feeling of the weights of the parts and those of the tools. I rebuilt many of these differentials over my career with Dodge and I remember every step plus some you did not show. What frosted me the most about this job was the ridiculous low flat rate I received for doing the repair. I remember the job to R&R a ring and pinion gear set was reduced to 0.8 of one hour multiplied by my journeyman Union wages less Federal. State taxes and Union dues left me with about $15. 🤬🤬🤬🤣😂🤣👍🇺🇸💯
