F100 Gets 9" Ford Rear Axle to Handle A Turbocharged Eco Boost - Truck Tech S2, E2

Your video is so cool! I am one of your fans in Korea. I always cheer for you. Stay healthy!

[@dilliongargon6974]

Love the rotisserie idea, cool

[@davidprice49]

watched you installing front hub w/bearings. they need to be torqued to 5-7 ft pounds. especially important if using synthetic grease. doing the old way just by feel,you can wind up with 25-30 ft pounds on the bearings(synthetic) which can cause bearing failure. did it once.

[@pauldionne1665]

I will remember that if I should ever do that (bearing replacement). Thanks for the tip.

[@caneighbors7875]

Designed and made my own pieces years ago, from drop and scrap material when I found them, and lathe time (not a machinist). Bought a welder, did work; bought a bigger welder, did more work; bought a TIG machine, and continue to work. Learn something new every time I build something. Not a lot of money involved, just patience, effort, experience, and building upon that. We all start from square one, unless we make excuses for not starting (

Hey guys, what happened to the flat head?

[@jamesdiehl8690]

Stretch on the bolt when torqued? Like mains and rods studs?

[@impavitus]

What I thought

[@jamesdiehl8690]

@@impavitus I've been watching several KZbin series; powernation, etc.. and they use a torque wrench with a specific Guage that measured bolt stretch when tightening studs on heads and main caps. The engines were LS and Coyote engines for street/strip use.

Eu não entendo esse KZbin, se o canal é gringo, pq o comercial é do Brasil?

[@413x398]

That whole rear housing is overkill for that engine.

[@bmstylee]

If you overbuild it you can drive and not worry about it breaking. Plus with tuning and bigger turbos that v6 can make some healthy power.

[@413x398]

@@bmstylee The weak point here would be the standard gear housing and a clutch-type limited slip. If you really worried about a regular housing deflecting just weld on a common back brace. This is, of course, just a commercial for Currie's product and the bragging rights associated.

[@allentrotter1327]

Good thing it’s their build and not yours then.

[@413x398]

@@bigboreracing356 Fine, but if you are going to go through the trouble and expense of that housing, then fit it with an appropriately upgraded center section, not some nondescript piece. This is mismatched.

[@413x398]

@@bigboreracing356 It's a non-webbed case without through-bolts. You can bet racers that are actually using that housing as a race piece are NOT employing that same carrier.

Did you guys know someone's suing Chevy because her ecoboost burned a certain amount of oil per miles etc. Dont ask where it came from lol. Saw it in a story

[@miguelcastaneda7236]

any one out there remember what maker back in 60s offered a two speed rear end

[@americanpatriot2.06]

There were three main manufacturers for 2 speed rear ends. International, Columbia, and Eaton. They are more commonly used on your commercial heavy duty trucks. As for the pre 80s medium & heavy duty pickups/trucks, years and models varied.

[@mikepatton5251]

Nice truck but I would put a different motor in it

[@pauldionne1665]

It will be interesting to see how long those turbos last! That little engine is a powerful engine though. The cost of one of those turbos might be the cost of another engine ? Love to see how long they last ( Twin Turbos ).

[@bmstylee]

Since it's not a daily driver it's a non issue. Personally a Coyote would be cool. But availability wasn't great when they built this.

[@pauldionne1665]

@@bigboreracing356 wow that is truly incredible. That is alought more mileage than I expected. I have seen these turbos crap out with fewer than 50,000 miles, without the engine being abused at all. Ford had a diesel turbo in the 90's that was just poop. 35,000 miles was all 1 turbo would go.

[@scootergeorge9576]

How much of the Axle came from Ford?

[@2511jeremy]

None the design is a ford 9" nothing was made by ford tho its the most common type because of the tail bearing on the pinion allowing for alot more hp

[@scootergeorge9576]

@@2511jeremy - I would call it a Curie or an aftermarket 9" Ford Design. The pinon gear is supported by three bearings and being able to set the 'pumpkin" on the bench instead of the entire axle is cool too. Lighter than a Dana 60 as well. The clips that retained the axles on the GM 12 bolt was a bogus design.
