How to Remove & Replace RAM 1500 Rear Axle

[@rippybuckyxboxplayer465]

This was such a helpful video, as a few days ago my rear axel locked up going down the road after the rear bearing gave out and i have to fully replace it. good video and nice work

[@henryg683]

Glad you got the rear all figured out with the tires and bearing deal I’ve had them bearings go in two of my trucks but they were gently abused!!!! See you in the next video!!!

[@oldschoolgtown5567]

I’m dealing with a bent housing on my ram now. 2013 rusted bolts everywhere (NY)…. Wish me luck just picked up a used housing for $800 🤦🏻‍♂️ hope it all goes well I’m using a 2018 on a 2013. Should go smooth right?

[@ulisesastorga9131]

If that doesn’t work, check the rear thrust angle. You may have to buy rear adjustable control arms to properly align the rear thrust angle to get rid of the vibration.

[@MM_in_Havasu]

Hope this will eliminate any vibration issues that may still be happening! Thanks for the update!

[@pzpinkslip123]

Did you loc tite the driveshaft bolts to the diff? Or just tighten.

[@dustyderrik6358]

Wish you had a video of the noises it was causing at speed. I suspect my pinion bearing being bad but I dont know how to properly diagnose the sounds I hear

[@thefastchannel914]

The convertion is that the calipers too are they for sale?

[@pzpinkslip123]

Im gonna do this job. Only difference is ill use the lift to remove the parking brakes at eye level but mostly gonna work near the ground.

[@bobr7867]

Toward the end you mentioned you swapped over a "13-50" flange. Is that necessary for any axle swap or was there something specific about yours? I'm getting ready to swap the rear axle on my EcoDiesel (I tow our travel trailer a LOT) and want to make sure I have all my bases covered. Thanks!

[@xDJLAFx]

did it end up going well?! thinking of swapping my axle as well lol

[@thunderstruck6060]

Looks awesome brother at least You narrowed it down 👍👍💯🙌🙌🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👌👌👌👌👌

[@C8sorbs]

No test drive? Ah man, I’m feeling gp’d! Looking forward to the big reveal 👍🏻

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Haha it just drives like it’s not broken now 🤣

[@beef9c1]

MAN! That's alot play for the pinion Jon. At least for now you know how to check for excessive wear or play on your rear axle. It could have been worse if the rear axle gave out or snapped while you were pulling the trailer to Texas. I hope no more problems with the rear axle.

[@tgtshirts1]

it's much better watching other people work. lol fun video. thumbs up

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Haha thanks man

[@hellcatredeye-g6582]

My 2012 ram Went out it took my daughter 2 1/2 hours to remove and install the new one ….But we are mechanics we do this all day 😊👍

[@israelcrisanto8635]

How much will a job like that cost?

[@bdogjr7779]

Awesome J《☆》Nice work👍✔Good luck with the warranty🖖🤓🏈

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Thanks man!!

[@wayneshaw3067]

I have a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500, the rear universal flange broke while driving about 30 mph the drive shaft dropped and a few seconds after before we could get off the road the rear of the truck catapulted us up I got out pulled the drive shaft out put the truck in 4wd tried to dr forward it would not however I could dr in reverse. I drove home jacked up the rear of truck and the rear wheels will only roll backwards any idea what's going on???

[@E-63836]

For those wondering there are not brake lines running parallel next to the axle

[@waltham1654]

Awesome video this was very helpful. Peace

[@qudarrowilliams5156]

What rear axle ratio you swap to?

[@johnmacaluso7249]

Thanks alot great video and Information

[@xDJLAFx]

is this truck a 4x4??

[@davidledford697]

[@tomathiasbeauford3759]

Good work

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Thanks!!

[@israelcrisanto8635]

How much for a job a like this

[@GarageWorx]

Wonder if it's from towing heavy loads?

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Yeah apparently the crush sleeve can wear as well from heavy loads too causing the pinion bearings to fail. This new one has a crush sleeve eliminator on it too so it should be one less failure point

[@713Scarface]

@@BoostedMotorsports Hey John do you think 22*12s on 33s can cause this to happen as well?

[@chevyv20]

LMFAO, You're buddy Jason is funny! "Yeah, it's been abused quite a bit, but it's good enough for you John"! That's too funny, it kind of sounds like what I would say!

[@gilhernandez605]

how big is his shop?

[@BoostedMotorsports]

30x55

[@AncelGlobal]

Awesome

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Thanks man 💪

[@blessedfamily3696]

Why don't you change the title to "Complete rear end housing removal/replace" instead of rear axle? Big difference

[@synack7350]

well that's one way to change the rear end gears haha ;)

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Lol yeah it was overkill but he had it sitting there 🤷‍♂️

[@williamwhite9767]

This way you get rid of the bent axle housing.

[@hunterdan2002]

I don't think it was bent, he had a tire with a broken belt that was causing the weird wear issues

[@tonydragonn3258]

would love to show what happenned to me , hearing comment about not knowing where your trucks been sheesh , my rear caught fire and at the moment i wasnt hauling anything . kawpowee was the noise and smoke . partly i have on video , staerted my buiseness off my investment into this truck 2004 1500 5.7. cannot afford $5000 shop fees for repairs . dont wanna lose my truck either. cheapest way out ?

[@WendysAnime]

Biggest fear was the springs, Mine uses leaf springs :(

[@riccochet704]

My warranty is 30 seconds or 30 feet, whichever comes first.

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Hahah

[@TheShangralaaaa17]

[@davidledford697]
