Front Diff Removal and Install

Picking up new rear with Harrop elocker and 4:10s along with new front diff with just gears and new ECGS bushing for my 14 DCLB. Anyone have a link with step by step instructions for front diff removal? Is it the same as 1st Gen?

 

Found it at ttora, linking here so others can find it if searching specifically on TW.

 

Thanks for the link. I'll be regearing in a few months so this will be helpful.

 

These just came in, waiting on extended brake lines while I have to bleed and then ready to install!

 

4.10 geras?? That is all

 

Op, I've done the Eaton/Harrop install on my front and the thing i remember the most vividly is how deceptively heavy it was. Do yourself a favor and rent/borrow a suitable jack such as a transmission jack, as trying to do this alone was not a lot of fun.

 

This thread is about 2 years old. Yes, went with 4.10s to bring the truck back to factory spec when bumping up to 33's. Didn't want or need anything more as most of my "wheeling" is on forest service roads and I'm not doing a ton of crawling. I had no issue doing this with a normal jack and some 3/4 ply, but YMMV.

 

Hey Jtrue did you find any good instructions on doing this? Do you have a difficulty level by chance?

 

These are the instructions linked above. Make sure you swap the stub shaft from the old diff to the new one. I did it by myself and it was rather difficult, having a helper would be nice. If you have never done it before plan on a full day.

 

Okay I saw these online but didnt know if there were a better set out there. Do you have a picture of a stub shaft? Im not sure if that would apply to me but i am planning on getting a built 3rd member to swap in there fro ECGS with the air locker up front.

 

It sounds like you'll be swapping out both the front diff and rear 3rd member w/ air lockers installed by ECGS in both?

The stub shaft is specific to the front diff. If you're buying a new diff with the airlocker already installed and returning your diff as a core then you need to do this, otherwise the ADD collar will slide over and have nothing to enagage 4wd.
