[DFW] What have you done to your G Today?
I get to happy! im going to attempt to install this tonight..needing to clean up the garage alittle bit and get my shelf set up so that I can stack off all my parts.....getting tired of crap sitting on the garage floor....
Good luck sir. I've been told even pumpkin installs are difficult even though they sound and look pretty simple. Wish I could be there. Would love to help and witness that install
I talked to Jake and read the DIY...its actually about an hour job....just need help with the pumpking because its fairly heavy..I will use the jack to raise it back up into place.
Btw - I just got a finned diff cover for the TITAN..
Ok good stuff Chris - I will start farthest left first..
You only need the axle stub swap IF you are going from an open diff to aftermarket.. Since you are going VLSD to VLSD....you dont have to swap anything... (unless your diff didnt come with any stubby axles - you just would use yours)
The rubber part doesnt have to be touched at all sir.. dont take that off UNLESS you are swapping them with new - so that alone saves you a good hour or so..
Where you have to regrease is where the axle slides into the knuckle.. not the splines but the flat part...I will find ya a pic..
HERE! and use some DAMN GOOD lithium grease so you wont have to do this down the road..
