@aaronshields6165 4 года назад

One more thing I would add... Always pack the back of your seals with transmission assy lube or vaseline to make sure the springs don't pop out during assembly.

@Donmar21 4 года назад

18:45 - It being a high pinion means the drive side is the drive side and coast is coast. A low pinion is backwards as you stated which is why a low pinion is less desirable, it drives on the coast (weak) side of the ring gear.

IDK if I am a gearing god or just super lucky, but the first two times I did it I was spot on and didnt have to make any adjustments. The third time I only had to make a small change once. I am not going to make a habit of installing gears a lot because I like to keep my record clean as it is.

@ciscogsx1000 4 года назад

Youve done a great job both physically and educationally. Just a few things with all due respect. I see you having trouble getting your ring gear assembly in the housing. Companies like Mophorn makes a housing spreader to be used in the big blind shallow holes to either side of your housing opening. Just Google jeep differential spreader and or look on amazon. Also unless I saw it wrong (if I did, apologies), when you push your bearings on dont push on the opposite race from the interference fit. If you are installing on a shaft, push on the inner race. Installing in a housing bore, push on the outer race. Not adhearing to this could brendel the bearing race and shorten the life of the bearing significantly. Take an old inner race and dremel out the center till it's a slip fit or more on the shaft and use it as a pusher die. Same for outer race applications. Hope this helps. Keep up the good work and awesome editorials.

@randycane5894 5 лет назад

Dana bearing caps are marked at the factory for orientation. if you look at the cap there will be a letter stamped in it and the other cap will have the same letter but turned sideways, the seal surface of the housing will have the same letters that you align the caps with

@MuddyBeards4X4 5 лет назад

@keithlea6804 5 лет назад

I pulled my Dana 30 high pinion and put new gears bearings axles hubs balljoints. Did the same with my Chrysler 8.25 on my 96 Cherokee. Should be good for another 200000 miles. Great video wish you had this video out a year ago. The previous owner removed the ring gear on the d30. What a shock that was when I removed the axle cover to see why my front axle wasn't working. Still cant figure out how they tore up the ring and pinion.

@crayfishroll 5 лет назад

Very detailed video. I watched Nate's part one already and I'm stoked about this one because I literally have a high pinion 30 out in my driveway waiting to build similar to this one. Never done gears but I have set pinion preload on a Dana 30 low pinion with a crush sleeve which is different than the high pinion with shims. I still need a few tools yet as well. But I am def going to try and tackle this soon!

@scottcampbell2836 4 года назад

On the topic of pinion and diff bearings getting lubed. Check out Gale Banks vid on diff covers. Made me re think diff cover armor. I will be stock cover with external bolt on protection.

@rareearthfab5511 5 лет назад

New subscriber to your channel. You should invest in a case spreader! Like you said... you can’t set preload too high on the carrier bearings and to this I agree. But some additional preload you can obtain by spreading the case .010 - .015 will help reduce ring gear deflection under stress. We all know deflection is a major enemy of the ring and pinion! Look forward to browsing them through all your vids!

@MuddyBeards4X4 5 лет назад

Thanks, 👊🏻 I definitely would like to get one, would save a lot of headache trying to get shims in, I just looked them up and they are more expensive than I was expecting.

@rareearthfab5511 5 лет назад

Muddy Beards 4X4 Look on eBay. You can pick one up with free shipping for under $70! I build a lot of axles for drag cars and 4x4s. I have 2 sets of tons for Jeeps in my shop right now and just finished another set. It’s a worthwhile tool to have! Also if you don’t know. Spicer has a book that lists all the stock pinion shim sizes used in different housings like the 30,44,60, etc... it’s not always spot on but a really good starting point when starting with an empty housing. I find I’m usually .005 / .010 away from perfect.

@MuddyBeards4X4 5 лет назад

Awesome man, great tips, I will definitely check it out!

@JS-nk4re 4 года назад

Man you make it look so easy my axle has been sitting on my nench for 3 months cause i gave up trying to set backlash.

@patsaunders6035 4 года назад

Like the build but quick tip of advice and please dont be mad at me for it but the next time you press a bearing on anything. Take an old bearing and cut the cage of then cut a line threw the inner race and press bearing on with inner race. If not you put pressure on inner and outer race and needle bearings so when you install everything it's not smooth as it could be and may feel like you have trash and will premature wear on bearings. Other reason for cutting the line on the old inner race it cause you can just tap it off anything its pressed on to and you dont need to struggle to pull it off. When teaching gears to people I fell thia is one of the best tips!

@2S1L3NT 2 года назад

He literally did exactly that, and explained it in the video... 😑

@joellindell7930 5 лет назад

Hello! Nice work, A question.. Why do you not use a Case spreader? just to save the shims..

@MuddyBeards4X4 5 лет назад

Thank you. A case spreader is definitely something I wish I had, would make life a lot easier and less frustrating when adding preload on the carrier. The cost was pretty high last time I had looked into buying on years ago. They are much more reasonable now, so I might have to get one. Thanks for watching👊🏻

@hosejockey61 4 года назад

Put your ring gear in the oven at about 170 degrees for a little bit. Will slide right over the locker and into place. You never want to use the ring gear bolts to "pull" the ring gear into place.

@lornehood3778 3 года назад

Hi MB, using your video for my build of dana 30 narrow. Love your guys stuff. My question is on the zip locker ring gear sleeves for 7/16 size to 3/8 reduction. I pulled the numbers from the bag in video. Got the sleeve today. Yes 1 sleeve not 10. The cost was $13 . Did you have issue with this. Did you have $130 cost for 10 sleeves? Seems crazy. Thanks again for your content.

@MuddyBeards4X4 3 года назад

Unfortunately this was not my axle and I just told him what I needed and he bought it. But that sounds outrageously expensive. That being said it looks like summit racing has them for $5.56 each, so not as much but still more than I would like to pay. Thanks for watching the videos, good luck.

what year did you get your housing from on the xj cherokee.or what years are acceptable that i can put into my 98 wrangler?im looking for a high pinion,and why is it you said you cant go above a 3.55 because of the break between pinion gear and i guess you meant the carrier.everyone says it will accept a 3.73 and thats what im shooting for.im running 33 in. wide mudders and its way high as mine is factory 3.07.please point me in direction without costing me a fortune,i dont have.If what you say is true about the break,should i just go with 3.55 and or try to get different carrier or what can i do? sincerely Robert A.great video by the way i love yor channel

@MuddyBeards4X4 4 года назад

Thanks, I believe most Cherokee’s older than 2000 had a high pinion. I would look for a whole Cherokee Dana 30 with the gears that you want and just swap it for the one you have. It will bolt right into the wrangler. Than change the gears in the 35 to match. That would be the easiest and probably cheapest way to upgrade.

@cliffbraun3850 2 года назад

I have been running 37s on a D30 in my XJ for years..... it's all stock internals.... I did do the wj swap for bigger brakes, and I put together a Ruffstuff.com steering link kit.... other than that, stock axles, no truss. No sleeve kit, no knuckle gussets, no bad ass extras...... And no issues.... but I do adjust driving style to protect the D30 all the time.... that being said, it's pretty amazing what the D30 can actually handle 😀

@Ryan_Tidwell 5 лет назад

Thanks for the vid. I have been watching Nate for a while now so I thought I'd check this out. Never done gears so a lot of what you were talking about was still confusing. Any recommendations for something to read or watch for someone that doesn't know enough about carriers, lockers, preload, backlash. ect? I have watched some videos and get a bit here and there but still have a lot to learn. Also I didn't see a crush sleeve like I have seen before. Do you ever use them? Looks like you would go through a lot of them with how many times you pulled this thing apart.

@MuddyBeards4X4 5 лет назад

Thanks for checking it out👊🏻 setting up gears can be daunting, I recommend getting Yukon gears installation guide and just read it a ton of times. Just google Yukon gear installation guide, it’s the first thing that shows up. I usually use a crush sleeve eliminator whenever possible. If you were to use a crush sleeve it would be one of the last things to install once you have your pinion depth. I have another video setting up Nate’s 9” axle from 6 months ago. And I am currently editing a Dana 44 axle setup. So check those out and read the manual. Good luck👍🏻

By the way sorry not advocating for any channel just thought you should know what I looked at. I have also been talking to Yukon tech person about the hat sizing on the turned down Cj rotors. I think the space will be somewhere about 3/4 inch...I wonder if that is to much with the loading moment caused by braking.

@fishrrelaxing9361 4 года назад

Your pinion should come with a shim reference mark on it.. it will either read.. .26# or +\- 1 etc.. The +\- reference is per the factory spec.. so increase or decrease that much thou.. Factory spec is .260 so if as typical your pinion is marked .262 you add 2 thou shim from factory spec. This is much more difficult as you don’t have the original pinion which should also be marked and could be used as reference to double check however factory pretty much always the pinion will be spec to .260 and the factory makes all the adjustments to the carrier.. This will save your a ton of time

Feel helps a lot, but everything is measured and has specifications it just helps knowing how to fix it when it is not correct, thanks for watching!

Would a 6 ton press be enough for pinion bearings?

@MuddyBeards4X4 3 года назад

Maybe, I know a 12ton would work.

wait what!!! how much to put my gears in..if they only go one way then ..why..ok how much should i pay to have my gears put in? 36 s what gears I want to drive more off then on.

@MrGalaxieman 5 лет назад

You mentioned a locked d30 you had on 36s. Was it a built axle with truss and armor or stock?

@MuddyBeards4X4 5 лет назад

It was a hp30 with chromoly axles, 4.88 gears, Detroit trutrac and ranger style locking hubs. It did not have a truss or any armor besides an aftermarket diff cover. It was definitely at its limits and I babied it for sure until I got the Dana 44. And then I got 40’s. So kinda back to babying it, lol.

@MrGalaxieman 5 лет назад

@@MuddyBeards4X4 that's kind of the route I am taking. I was leaning towards jcrs truss since it looks simple to install, and also c gussets and sleeves but idk if I need all that. I will be running 35s and eventually 4.88 gears. Do you think the truetrac was easier on the axles than a full on locker? I dont think I'd need anything more than lsd but I've been considering lunchbox locker for the front as well since I could install it now

@MuddyBeards4X4 5 лет назад

I would just do the truss and the c gussets. 4.88 gears and 35’s will be perfect. Locker really depends on your budget. Robbie has the Aussie locker in his Dana 30 with 36” and he likes it so far. The trutrac is an amazing lsd. it was my favorite by far for drivability and offroad, but 35” tires is pushing the limit of that locker, I believe Detroit say 33” max. The way the trutrac operates is way easier on axle shafts than a lunchbox. Really depends on tire size and budget. A lot to think about, that’s why I have changed mine like 4 times, lol.

@kenskens69 5 лет назад

Nice been thinking in doing all that just a smal different im using mecanical locker ,and will you recomend 4.88 gears for 37 inch tires

@MuddyBeards4X4 5 лет назад

Nice, gear ratio depends on what your goals are. 4.88 gears and 37’s will be similar to stock, would be fine for the street and hitting some trails but crawling on rocks you would wish you went lower.

Sweet video! What's your thought on using an old inner pinion bearing race shaved down to setup pinion depth?

@MuddyBeards4X4 5 лет назад

Thanks👊🏻 I have a collection of carrier and pinion bearings that are shaved down for setup, makes life so much easier.

I have a low pinion 30 in my '01 XJ. Any suggestions for upgrades or just find a high pinion unit? I'm on 31's, 3 in. lift, never anticipate going over 33's.

@MuddyBeards4X4 4 года назад

If you are only going to 33’s just stick with the low pinion. Get a good locker or limited slip and matching gears

@robertweinstein6441 Год назад

Did you add axle sleeves?

@MuddyBeards4X4 Год назад

No sleeves in this one. But that would definitely make it a lot stronger for sure.

why not getting the 30 spline axle shafts locker with 30 spline axle shafts , since is the ultimate dana 30

Not my call. he bought all the parts and asked if I could install it for him, lol. Will be plenty strong for 35’s for sure.

@jimlayhey1965 5 лет назад

can you weld truss on when on the jeep or do you have to have axle all apart

@MuddyBeards4X4 5 лет назад

You could do it in the Jeep, but I would recommend taking it apart first as there is a lot of heat that will transfer to all the internals, seals etc.

@keithlea6804 5 лет назад

I have a 2008 Jeep Commander with Chrysler 8.25" rear diff, 12 bolt pattern. I've been wanting to find a gasket for it, but all I can find are 10 bolt pattern gaskets. Do you know if the Dana 30 is the same 12 bolt pattern as the Chrysler 8.25, and if there is a gasket available for it?

Not sure, I never use a gasket, just oil resistant gasket maker. But I am sure someone makes one.

Crush sleeve eliminators are the way to go. reusable, you don’t have to replace it or guess on the pinion preload if you take anything apart. And crushing a crush sleeve is just straight up a pain in the ass!
