Dana 30 Rebuild Guide Pt.2: Yukon 4.56 Gears, Gear Setup, Powertrax No-Slip Locker

In this episode we continue the rebuild of my Dana 30 axle. This video will show you step-by-step how to completely rebuild your differential with Yukon 4.56 gears, Yukon master rebuild kit, and a Powertrax No-Slip locker to hugely improve your off-road capability.

Subscribed. Like to see peeps build a Dana 30 and have fun. No sense in Dana 60’s to have fun on smaller tires like all the sponsored channels say u need

[@Wheeler123]

Thank you, I found your video was complete, detailed enough to perform the job without a bunch of unnecessary words, very refreshing and easy to watch and understand!!

[@dkhallal]

I’m in this process right now and have watched this video several times. I have a HP Dana 30 as well and went with the Powertrax Grip Pro LSD. I toyed with the idea of going all out with the sleeves and truss but for now re-gear and LSD with new wheel hubs will do, can always come later now that the hard stuff (getting old hubs off!) is done and add that stuff. Great video, thanks for all the details. I’m at 4 tries on getting the right pattern.

Wow, you could be a teacher with the way you explain things, even with the camera fails and missing footage this is super well done, I'm preparing to regear a tj dana 30 and will use your video as reference to keep me centered, Toyota gears are way easier to build and I have done a lot of them, I hope I can get through this without screwing it up

[@05glisedan]

I'll be working on our d30 soon. Gathering as much info as possible. Thanks for posting..

[@techi3075]

Excellent video, edit, and build!

[@DocHoliday-to6kp]

Congratulations on a job very well done.. Hope it runs as good as it looks.

[@eversleyowl]

Great video, building up courage to take on a regear for the first time and this really has helped.

[@rangefreewords]

Wow! What a lot of work on an axle to receive only a lunchbox locker. Everything from resleeve to c&t, new pinion, truss. You must of had quite a few hours in this build! Glad to hear everything is still holding up!

[@trailandco]

Still loving the powertrax lunchbox 2 years later, highly recommend!

[@silenttraveler2710]

A definite Thumbs Up Tutorial… 👍

[@andrewmills8547]

BF great content. I'd love to see you review this locker sometime.

[@vanleermatt]

Excellent explanation of the process. Getting ready to tackle mine.

[@tkbouffard5725]

Very good explanations. I will have to tackle mine soon. This is a huge help. Thx

[@henlydennett3830]

I admire your talent. Thanks for sharing.

[@mcginnis535]

Very well done! I have done this once before and you nailed it!

[@kaoticneutrl140]

Very well done sir. Will be putting mine back together this weekend (hopefully) this has help alot.

[@hunner2560]

Great video, definitely a helpful walk through.

[@joecyr9924]

Thumbs up,well done

[@skipwaelty3974]

What a great tutorial. Subbed. Thanks

[@09ironman1]

Very good video. Now i can try minr

[@danbemman2271]

Wow nice job

[@dealinwithit1]

Was the gusset and upper control arm plate difficult to weld

[@texture6]

New sub. Can you do a parts list and how did you attach the front plate. Thanks

[@BuiltNotBoughtTV2019]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Just got a set of 30&35 for my YJ and will try to rebuild and learn. Your video helped a lot. What kind of lockers is that?

[@trailandco]

It's a power lock no slip. I love it

[@ericksandoval4953]

Wow!. Your like the best

[@infidel6608]

Low pinion dana 30 is crush sleeve style

[@moejr14]

Did you do the. 8.25

[@davebooth7979]

Great job! How has the axle held up?

[@trailandco]

Phenomenally!

[@brandonbrown6544]

Excellent video! And where do you live so I can pay you to do mine! 😅

[@eduardojdm-cb9un]

yolk preleoad is in INCHES-POUNDS not FOOT-POUNDS, i learned that the hard way

[@stephenwhite5444]

Great video! How do you like the No Slip in the front diff? Does it pretty much only engage when in 4wd? I've heard you dont notice it on the street because it doesnt really engage in 2wd

[@trailandco]

It's awesome. Invisible on the street, killer offroad

[@josearguello6989]

how are you liking the power trax no slip? thinking about one for my TJ

[@trailandco]

Love it!

[@flaparoundfpv8632]

Do I need to remove and replace the pinyon races if I'm not regearing?

[@trailandco]

Yes you should

[@jalatecompa]

it is the same for dana 30 jeep zj 1998 5.9?

[@Donmar21]

Almost the same except the low pinion Dana 30 uses a crush sleeve instead of pinion bearing shims. Setting a crush sleeve is a PITA.

[@moejr14]

How’s this thing holding up?

[@trailandco]

Decent!

[@moejr14]

@@trailandco no gear noises?

[@zr2dad5]

i can just picture my neighbors calling the cops. i'd be committing dana 30 murder at some point. you have admirable patience for sure.

[@jkgkjgkijk]

*set up bearings, you said gears

[@petemiller519]

Very good video. Thanks for posting. Cheers.
