Fixing a leaky differential in a 2001 Ford F-250, totally rusted through

They eat metal - hard metal, soft metal, plastic, those things don’t care. If you’re doing a differential and using silicon, then have at w the cookie cutters. But do any surface like a head or exhaust and you’re gonna have leaks eventually on one of them. You might get lucky but sooner or later the cookie cutter will come back and bite you. I can’t tell you how many heads I’ve seen that had to be redone from those plastic metal grinding disc

It would be best to first loosen the fill plug on a diff or manual transmission before you take the drain plug or cover off to ensure that you can turn it. Once you learn why, you will never forget to do it.

[@JohnSmith-sh1zg]

I think he was replacing the cover anyways. That or the fill hole was so rusty he replaced the cover. Either way this diff was getting its oil changed. You are 💯 correct though. Although you can pump the exact amount fluid back in through the drain hole 🤷‍♂️ if you’re totally under the gun.

Not checking if you can get the fill plug loose before you drain a trans/diff is like fucking up your taxes. It's so painful you only make that mistake once.

Word of advice: Never use a metal scraper to get the old gasket off you may accidentally scratch the surface and cause leaks after you re fill the diff

[@eraclioandrade1522]

here’s a tip that was passed to me by an old tech. Make sure your fill bolt can be unscrewed before draining any fluid. Might just save you a headache. I do know most replacement covers these days have fill holes as well. 👍

Just remember to always remove a fill plug first.

It's a good idea to get all that gasket material buffed free so you can contaminate the inside of the diff with the airborn particlate. That's one of the main ingredients.

[@michaelcunningham2105]

First of all after taking the cover off. I'd put some over the area to protect the gears from any dirt and metal fragment get inside the gears. Then I would start my cleanup. Because it may take days or weeks but it can ruin your gear then you have to replace the whole mechanism. Better to be safe than sorry. And if you're doing this as a business. It could save you money and time. Because lawsuits can be very expensive.

I like the fact that an impact gun was used. You know screw proper torque and all that. Reminds me of the amigos at a tire shop. MFers will nearly strip or snap off your lugs just to save a little time. No pride in the work being done whatsoever.

[@Man_0f_Culture]

@MrVAuto well apparently I struck a nerve, lol. I only bring up the impact because I've seen it too many times when they are overly tightened and next time show yourself using a torque wrench. Too many people use an impact and have no idea what they are doing and will see crap like this and think, "The KZbin mechanic did it, so that's okay." I literally had to change a tire for my niece the other week, and the POS that put it on used an impact gun. I ended up bending a four-way breaking the lug nuts loose because they were way over tightened. I work in the automotive manufacturing business, and I know there are specific torques for a ton of bolts, and people who don't know anything will over tighten them because nobody has taught them any better. If you're gonna do mechanic work on KZbin, show the proper way of doing things and put some notes in the description or in the comments if not it's just irresponsible and could cause someone to damage their own vehicles. Until then, you're gonna get a TON of MFers like me talking smack because I know what I'm talking about, and you're cutting that from your videos, and it's misleading AF. Personally, I'm glad you tightened them in the proper sequence I'm also glad you had the impact set to a low torque and you went back and tightened them with a torque wrench but you got a lot of young people and hell even older people that don't know anything about working on vehicles and they'll end up making a major costly mistake if they just follow along with something like this. As a creator who's trying to educate people, you need to do better.

That’s an incorrect way of filling a differential. After filling, you tilt the car to one side to assure that the axels have sufficient gear oil.

Am I crazy ? When I do this I pack the diff with clean rags so all that crap from the polishing wheel stays outa the rear end and do not go crazy with brake clean… I thought it was a bit caustic for the gears and any seals /bushings that might be in there; (I have the rear electronic locker) I guess shade tree mechanics worry a bit more about comebacks. Maybe I’m wrong but if so I got thick skin and let me know. P.S. I was stoked when I did my F-150.

The issue not explained is that the aftermarket differential cover is much thinner than OEM. It's basically tin.

[@ankeethreddy2629]

mechanic in USA: that would be 750$ sir had to replace the whole differential and the price is without tax, made it cheap as possible please come back again!

Preventive maintenance and service... good job tho

[@DaCat981]

Try that same job on a Toyota. A little cutting, a little cussing, a little welding.😂

Nice detail, this guy cares about his work.

I asked my grandfather why he never taught me to change the fluid back there and he says oh you can change it in any type of vehicle and I was like well. Have you changed it? He’s like no and he’s like I’ve just got lucky. My gears never went bad, I’m like what the fuck 200,000 miles

Forgot the gear lubricant lol just kidding it's good to use it just for protection be safe out there 🙏

MUST be working on his own vehicle. There is NO shop mechanic that would take this much pride in a job.

[@rolls_8798]

that new cover looks like it has less life in it than was left in the rusted out one

[@Dad_a_Monk]

Clearly, the actual problem was that gooey oily substance in the differential.

I would've gone with a fined diff for better cooling and heat transfer. To each his own.
