This video just saved my ass. Thanks for making such a comprehensive how to.

Awesome, thanks for watching 🍻

I know how much work you put into this!! video turned out great!! good job

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Thanks for watching 🙏🍻

[@mikejones1514]

Dude your killing it,I really enjoy your work, I’ve watched so many gear set up videos but you really take the time to thoroughly explain what your process is. Unfortunately I won’t be tackling my gears it’s headed to the shop in two weeks to go from 3:73 to 4:56.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

its my form of meditation. Thanks for watching I appreciate it. 🍻

[@shannonshull6989]

EXCELLENT. Showed the details I was un certain about that every other D30 vid dont show. Great video quality, edits, lighting, no BS... BRAVO! Installing 4.88s with a TruTrak LSD.. Did the rear D44 already and its pretty sweet.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Nice, I have the a Detroit tru trac in the rear absolutely love it. 🍻🍻

Great video! And great tip on checking clearances on the locker. Didn’t think to do that.

Realy good video, most useful as I am going to be doing my first regear as soon as I get back from our summer holiday. But I wondered why you didn't use the case spreader for the final install of the carrier?

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Good luck it’s a bit of a chore you’ll do just fine! And I didn’t use the spreader in that moment just to show that it can be done without it. I did use the spreader most of the time. 🍻🍻

[@eversleyowl]

@@ATEMOFFROAD Thanks. I'm fitting an ARB in mine, so process a bit different. But with the copper airline being vilnerable I am trying to avoid using a deadblow to pound the carrier in.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

Very cool. Will be a nice selectable locking setup! Definitely recommend using the spreader for both in and out of the carrier. You will still need a dead blow to seat the bearings as the spreader should only open the case no more than 20 thou and it’s not enough to overcome preload. But I do believe your shim stacks will now be on the outside of the bearings?

[@Kevin---kx3jy]

Great videos. What are you doing for outer axle seals?

[@eversleyowl]

At 3:35 in video and can't see link to pinion oil baffle mentioned in video, or am I missing the link?

[@eversleyowl]

I'm going mad, I can see it now!

[@bob4003]

Do the instructions come with it, ? Are all the Dana 30s reverse gears ? ( getting parts together to do mine)

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

@@bob4003 the locker yes , the gears no. If it’s low pinion Dana 30 they are normal cut, High pinion Dana 30 are reverse cut

[@bob4003]

[@ThatGuyFromArizona]

So I am confused why the side the ring gear is physically on the carrier is called the non-ring gear side and the side the bolt heads are on is called the ring gear side... Seems backward. Also, my GC has the 249J transfer case. Would this PowerTrax locker be acceptable to run in my front diff.?

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

@@ThatGuyFromArizona the way you mentioned is backwards, left side or bolt hole side for ring gear is Marked R ring gear side. NR is marked for Non ring side. Where do I mention this? Its mainly helpful so you don’t mix up the bearing caps if you plan to make setup bearings with the old. And helpful when making shim stacks for backlash and carrier preload. As far as carrier fitment use the Powertrax website for year make and model. 🍻🍻

[@ChrisLawley43]

D30hp you don’t spread it past .015 you really want to be around .012-.013 spreading to .020 is way to far

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

@@ChrisLawley43 interesting I’m looking right here in the Spicer service manual for D30 says “Do not spread carrier over .020” (.50mm). Use dial indicator. It’s possible you may have an updated revision. Read from Bulletin No. 5325 So you are good 👍🏼 🍻

[@ChrisLawley43]

I talked to several people including a guy in a Facebook group I’m in who works for Yukon that said dana says .015 max spread.oxlocker I installed told me the same do not spread more than .015. Did you use a case spreader for your final install?

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

@@ChrisLawley43 for final I really can’t remember, but usually case spreader alone is never enough, where you will still have the need to drive carrier into the case. I do know that the carrier I used was from a low pinion which was made for numerically higher gears.

[@ChrisLawley43]

@@ATEMOFFROADthe point of a case spreader is to spread to .015 or close to it and have it fit tight so you have proper carrier bearing preload driving it in, with no case spreader you don’t know if you are getting proper carrier bearing preload.

[@ATEMOFFROAD]

@@ChrisLawley43 yes and no, spreader is designed for ease of installation and removal of the carrier, and can also assist in the feel for a pre determined carrier bearing preload. Carrier falls in and out it’s likely there is no preload. in this video carrier bearing preload is already determined by the previous two housings taken apart. The measurements taken from both housings shim stacks prove this, yes it’s possible bearing tolerances could change, but it’s not dramatic as the new and use bearings are the exact manufacturer and part number. Total rotational torque is the proper way to check carrier bearing preload. I discussed this at the end of my Dana 44 overhaul regear video. If you Change the carrier (ox, Yukon, arb) ect the deck hight and bearing seats can be totally different, additional steps will need to be taken to properly set new carriers bearing preload. This is done by building a total shim stack off calculating total rotational torque measurements. an easy way to tell if you have the proper preload on the side bearings a formula fallows. Total preload (in/lbs. with the unit totally assembled) minus the pinion bearing preload (with only the pinion assembly) multiplied by the gear ratio = side bearing preload. If your total preload is 32 in/lbs - pinion preload of 25 in/lbs = 7 in/lbs x ratio of 3.73 = 26.11 in/lbs side bearing preload

Nice video, very helpful. Wondering what size tires you’re running for that gearing? Thanks.
