Rear diff Regear

Alright. Thank u sir

 

Comin' in here from the Jeep world, sorry if that offends. Nitro doesn't have a very good rep over there. I'm not clear on this, does everyone know you need to regear both front and back? Again, don''t want to offend, just want to make sure everyone's driving happy.

 

That's rich coming from a group sporting dana 35 and 44s.

As you might guess, knowledge level varies by member.

 

-snap-

 

I don't know what that means. Did I just get burned?



Damn!

 

Not you per se, but your guys who aren't fans of Nitro Gear. It's about the best aftermarket stuff you can get since Richmond isn't making gears for 2gens.

Dana 30s and 35s are garbage. Dana 44s are respectable stock (still not a Yota axle) and quite capable when rebuilt with the good innards.

 

I'm gonna sas my truck with a Dana 35 bro

 

Do it. Then run 4Ds.

 

Shit man, even Jeepers laugh at 30's and 35's. The rich dudes (the rest of us just want to) get rid of the D44's and go with D60's. I've been good with the Yukon stuff. Just learning about Yotas now and looking forward to it. Going to have to sell the Jeep to afford the advanced classes though.

 

Yukon is fine, although I'd much prefer Nitro.

Zuk prefers Nitro, and as far as I'm concerned, his word is gospel:

The go-to Yota axle is a fabricated housing machined to accept the 9.5" landcruiser third. Every bit as tough as a D60, and often less expensive to fully build.

That said, even stock Yota axles like the 8in rear are solid for anything up to 35s as long as you're not leadfooting it.

 

I want to go with a steering 14. CAUSE YOLO

 

14b are cheap as shit. Probably the best value of all the big axles.

 

Lets have a sas party

 

14 bolt front steer makes me hard but too much work and a chevy 60 will work just fine p) with some yukon shafts and joints. 14 in the rear though for sure.

Land Cruiser of course not the Taco

 

Ok so im gonna be fixing this rear diff (finally) but im building up a parts pile... Is there anything else i should be doing while swapping my damn near grenaded diff. I got a new rear u joint already other than that a shit tonn of brake cleaner lol ... I woildnt mind a few other ideas for repair/preventative maitnents

 

Rear axle seals

 

Well revive, got new 4.56 regear third from Ecgs and installed 2 months later I have to do it again.... Contacted chase at Ecgs talk to him for a while and he is going to replace it under warrenty! Sweet but booo. I followed there break in procedure that they have posted what would cause it to go this fast. When I took of drive shaft I grabbed pinion flange and it goes up and down and in and out not much but more than it should. My guess screwed bearing. Specs of the build 4.56 gears solid spacers, new seals, new bearings... Ideas?

 

damn that sucks

 

You have a solid spacer now? Hmm. With the crush sleeve you have to retorque it. The solid spacer doesn't require the nut to be retorqued. Maybe it wasn't torqued when you received it?

 

^^ Could have been sleve/pinion nut not torqued. When I had mine done they had to pin the pinion bearings cause they tend to ware down and spin on toyotas. They should be able to figure it out when they get it back.

I'm def going to give mine a check over, installed a couple months ago too.
