Worth noting that the set-up process varies between older style milled 5-cut gears and the newer hobbed 2-cut variety. Very very important to know which you have because the patterns read differently.

Super cool stuff goin on. I know why you're not more popular, and I hate it. If anyone doesn't know it's the same reason MTV is no longer music and the history channel isn't actually history.

When you get the gear set that is hard to get both sides matching , always get the drive side right. The coast is reverse and not under high loads. The pattern that is ideal splashes the oil out away as the tooth comes in. This vid nails ut

When someone understands a subject so completely they can often explain it in the simplist of terms. Well done!

Skf is better than timkin they are both very good

This is the kind of thing I LOVE about machining. You don't need a multi thousands of dollars investment or specialized tooling. Just make your own, make it work for the few things you do and keep it simple. Great idea!

Did you know GSP wheel bearings use timken bearings?

I recall there was somebody running one of your load bolts in an offroad/mud competition somewhere that you told me about. Was a buggy of some kind -- any chance you still remember what that video was?

I guess it is involute spline in that gear. You cut 90 deg. How do you think about that.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT GUYS HAND SINGS / WTF , IS HE TRYING TO SAY / I HOPE HE WATCHES THIS VIDEO AND SEE'S HOW SCREWED UP HE IS

I don't often comment on videos but what you've come up with here is brilliant. Thumbs up and a subscribe.

Excellent video .. by far the best explanation I have seen

Great video, just found your channel. My father was a tool & Die maker from the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s. I inherited his lathe and purchased a mill about ten years ago. I was alway under the impression that axles were all hardened after splines were cut, is that not the case?

Watched you on Amazon prime. Great stuff. Hope you are still friends with your co pilot

Excellent! thanks!

Brilliant

What kind of measurements did you come up with for 3/4" bead width? Would you sell any inserts?

Awesome 🤩. Thanks

Would this be the same for a detroit locker. I would assume it all varies but im looking at running dana 50 gears in a 44 with a detroit locker.

That was a really cool and informative video man. Thanks

Trap Pass is awesome in so many ways.

Thanks very interesting

Best explanation I’ve found. Thx

Good job! It makes me want to fire up the mill.

You already built a 5 lug full float Dana 60. It's in my Willys wagon.

Moving and smooth

That's some fast splining right there

Nice fix that should hold up well. Just gave me some ideas to do the custom transfer case clutch gear. I think that I could use a side gear like that for the internal splines.

Finally!! You nailed it! I now know that my backlash isn't good but my pinion depth is good! Awesome simple video! Thanks!

Dude. This has been the most comprehensive view of how it works. I’ve been fighting with mine for a week now working on it an hour or two a day cussing. I have finally gotten it where it needs to be. You are a saint

I been setting up gears for 30+years The Gearman says "Nice Video" accurate and easy to comprehend!

It's like I stopped by to visit and you said I could stay and you would reveal some R&P magic if I just kept quite. I did and you did. Thanks :O)

Great video. Pinon depth overlays were extremely helpful...thanks

Nice job .

Thanks 🙏🏽

Why are they so loud going from reverse to forward. Sound like a tooth breaking off every time

Short but perfect explanation

My pattern looks nothing like that. It's cutting a knife edge right in the middle deep into the gear.

I have been fighting a C3 Dana 44 for more than a week now. I love the car, hate the Dana 44. It's a dumb design to have to press on bearing on and off while constantly changing shims trying to get the pattern right. I am broke and should have just bought a rebuilt unit with a warranty thinking I could save money and do this myself. I thought I did everything right and still cant get the pinion depth and gear lash right. The big problem is the idiot manufacturer sent nothing but thick shims with the kit. the thinnest shim is .0102. The shims I pulled out of my old unit has a .0036 shim it it. unfortunately I damaged it pulling the race out.

Very cool demonstration of load deflection

Wish u lived nr me I’m need a pair of longer axles

I have one in my GN and I love it. People bitch about the ratcheting noise on turns or the rear end sometimes kicking out on you while coming out of a turn but when they lock, they LOCK! You don't have to worry about wearing clutches or finding the stupid additive for the factory positraction setup.

Real good meat and potatoes there budd👍

Simple and right to the point, thanks!

Another question, do you have a preference to using Dana 50 gears or JK Dana 44 gears when upgrading a Ford hp Dana 44? Your site says they're both about a 44% increase in strength. Are they both 5 cut gear sets? Or is the newer jk Dana 44 2 cut?

Thoughts on just running no slinger at all and just running pinion depth shims? I feel like the slinging of the gear oil off the pinion head itself may be adequate enough.

TWO TWO Many Chiefs and Not Enough about the Noise They make . Lost a friend since 1974 over the noise they'l no matter if i shimmed it perfect or not . i did like the shortness of the Vid . PEACE

Carl coming through with a cure to yet another one of my problems !

Really appreciate the video! A friend and I will be using this method for shortening a jet ski driveshaft here very soon! Nicely done!
