I love Ed’s enthusiasm for this one 😂

[@marklabarge3573]

Ed needs his own show. He is highly talented and has the ability to design them so more people want them.

[@josephcarrington8834]

He has 1 on KZbin now

[@zmscott2507]

Great job setting pinion depth, preload on the bearings, swapping pinion seal, then setting the backlash on the ring! I've never seen it done that fast!

[@Pereke69]

he just dropped everything there

[@dntlss]

Agree, it would have been a killer video if it would have been more of a instructional thing versus just showing new parts.

From what I understand, that’s why Edd left the show. They wouldn’t let him put in all the how to details he wanted to include.

Arent you supposed to check the gear engagement and adjust with shims and shit when you rebuild a diff?

[@cfknock52]

You most certainly are. They only showed the re-gear and not the rest of the rebuild. Funny how they try and make it look easy.

[@davesolazzo1472]

[@Jayson90210]

MAN. there is SO much info missing from this video!! Why does the carrier have to be removed? I guess if you are changing out the gears you do, but I replaced my clutch packs with carbon fiber and never pulled a thing! At least on my SN95. You could write a book on what is missing here.

I like my 3.55 ratio limited split in my truck better than 3.73.1 or any other.

[@ChuckWood]

the wheels turn slower, not faster, per rpm

[@alexghebenei5850]

Depends...

[@hescracked420-9]

And link everything for me to buy it all

[@donaldasayers]

Way too edited. Changing the final drive ratio and setting up the final drive gears is not something an amateur can do unless they know what they are doing and this video does not show that. Do not attempt it unless you have the training. There is also a fundamental error in Ed's narrative. He changed from a 3.08 :1 ratio to a 3.73:1 ratio. That makes the rear wheels turn slower for a given rpm not faster, but with a greater torque.

[@Snarl616]

Agreed. for some reasons the last season with Edd is full of things explained too shortly and that I didn't understand. The weird thing is that when Ant came along, everything was like before. Really, the 13th Wheeler Dealers season was very weird.

[@Adam.Piper62]

@@Snarl616 that's simple, it became "Americanised" i.e. lots of content done cheaply, rather and the more methodical patient explaining that the British audience would watch. They just trying to appeal to markets at once and it didn't really work

[@Adam.Piper62]

I think he perhapes ment the gear wheels rather the the car wheels

[@WardyLion]

Snarl616 Edd stated that his main reason for leaving was the decision to reduce the workshop segments, particularly the bits where he explains what something does, how it works or talking us through a repair / replacement job. He, like many, felt that these were the heart of the show and that this new direction wasn’t one he wanted to go in.

[@McRocket]

BTW - Mustang's were/are not 'muscle cars' (as Mike was saying). They are 'pony' cars. At most, they are GT cars. Muscle cars are sporty versions of lower-priced, mid-size/intermediate, family-type cars like Dodge Charger's or the old Pontiac GTO or Chevy Chevelle SS. They used to only be two doors - but today they can have more.

[@DuBstep115]

Muscle car definition is rwd, mid size, backseat and huge engine.

[@McRocket]

@@DuBstep115 Close, but not exactly. From musclecarclub.com - 'An American muscle car, by the strictest definition, is an intermediate sized, high-performance oriented model, powered by a large V8 engine, at an affordable price.' musclecarclub.com/muscle-car-definition/

[@richardanthonygilbey]

so its over to you Edd...well as you can see Mike's totally lost his mind and brought me a ford Mustang, its gonna need alot of work and the mustang needs fixing too.. Mikes no mechanic so ive sent him down to Halfords whilst i work out how to desguise the huge red stripes im planning for this car, and the lsd well thats no problem at all, ill just fit this gypsy kit from the internet. bam and we should be in profit, now where is the little yankie

[@mattikaki]

EDD was real master mechanic but ANT is not even student mechanic which you see when handling the tools. Even Mike uses tools more professionally than Ant. Ant is an ACTOR who wants to show his face and is just ratcheting tools because it looks cool. And the most awful is that Ant doesn’t wear GLOVES even when changing oils or other liquids which are dangerous today. Real mechanic would use gloves always when dangers exist. EDD was fortune of gold and WD did awful decicion when leaving UK. Americans love show type people like Edd but if you really want to LEARN something, you need Edd. I have been servicing cars for 50 yrs and have learned many really useful hints from Edd. I have all the Edd DVDs and still love to watch them.

Turned the car from a cruiser in to a drag racer that will be screaming its tits off at highways speeds. To suggest that swapping crown wheel and pinion ratios is that easy is a massive deception. Disneyland for car mugs.

[@groovejet33]

These later eposodes with Ed? When he's around Mike? His attitude is shitty. You can tell, he has reached a point where he resents people and his situation. Mike said in a interview that Ed never got sacked or fell out with people but if you read between the lines? Ed is probally sick of his position and rank?? Aparantly Ed wanted more time off. Moving to USA, instead of more hrs of filming, he wanted chill out time and beach time. After being with Mike from day 1, Ed must of got eventually sick of Mike being top dog,probally getting less coin, etc. So he started being snappy with colleuges, eventually reaching a point of no return....Oooops! Bye bye Edward
