thanks for the video. None of us want to say we don't know this already but if someone hasn't done this before or it has been a while this is needed. Great safety instructions.

[@jimmcmahon9318]

Man I’ve been scouring the internet and forums looking for a video like this. The manual is crap and pictures suck for description, so I needed this. Thanks brother!

[@jeffautrey1409]

Great video. People don't think about safety until it's too late. Keep it coming.

[@sebastiandiaz5682]

I'm happy that you discussed placing jackstands to support the vehicle for safety while doing repairs and maintenance. Twelve years ago my neighbors kid was crushed to death under hi Honda Accord. He was not using jackstands. Be safe everyone.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Omg

[@akbychoice]

One of my teachers in a heavy equipment class in HS died when a bus fell on him. He was the one that always stressed blocks, chocks and safety.

This is the first video or any source that clearly showed how to safely lift a super duty on a hoist, thanks!

[@yarospringglory]

Best explanation I’ve seen to date!! Thank you!!!

[@ATR-42]

very helpful for those of us at home, thank you Aaron!

[@bozerbrett7867]

Spot on video for us guys that rotate our own tires and do our own brake jobs. I've always jacked up my vehicles from the diffs and never had a problem, no way I'm gonna use the factory jack and use the jacking points illustrated in the manual, I'd be there all day just to jack up the truck!

[@ericdavi1231]

A video for the common man and his floor jack! Love it! I even use my 3 ton northern tool yellow jack to lift our LCFs.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Hell yeah bud

[@michaelmooney6245]

Hey Aaron, I keep a bottle jack similar to the one you showed in the stock location behind the seat. Much better than the Ford unit and also nice for the guys who tow a lot. Can use it for the trailer as well. Also, love your concise style and focus on safety. Keep it up, your a great resource for the common man.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Hey thanks my brotha, we appreciate ur feedback 🤙

[@ItsMeUrDaad]

Secure that thing down if you havent man you dont want it flying around in an accident 👍

[@bigshafe]

Great advice, especially with chocking the wheels. I have a 3 ton wheeled and 12 ton bottle jack like yours but with the air assist option. Sure is nice when you have shop air.

[@jerryknorr679]

Great video ARod, I also have a bottle jack in my truck in the tool box bed, with my Craftsman 1/2 impact gun. Thanks for sharing ur tips.

[@willb7975]

Thanks for the knowledge bombs. Mostly use the same points for my "driveway garage" plus jack stands. Need to get a small bottle jack in lieu of the factory jack.

[@charlesklippel92]

You always entertain me when I'm watching your videos also next time you get a 450 in a 22-21 can you do a video on that I just ordered my 23 F-450 Limited

Unless someone you know has just installed a Banks Rear Diff cover. Just saying. That Jack will lift up the truck and at the same time print out a order bill for a new replacement Diff Cover. Good ft end demo Ford has warnings all over about using the ft diff as a lift point.

That Daytona jack is nothing but a snap on with different stickers 😂😂

I stay off them silly trucks

[@D4x4Bronc]

Nice and safe. Greasing the roller bearings on the jack wheels with grease is helpful also. Neglected one for so long it wore a flat spot in the wheels dragging on the concrete. Some grease fingered in works like new.

Dude it drives me crazy. Try rolling a 6r140 on a jack...yeah not fun. Oh BTW did I tell u the one time my cart ALMOST TIPPED OVER....not good

@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod dude I know… I can’t imagine working on that floor… I am so ocd about my floor that it gets moped before I even try attempting to roll a trans around… drives me nuts to have anything at all on the floor, let alone big chunks of epoxy missing and those Cavernous cracks… you deserve the best! Keep up the great work appreciate what you are doing. I hope Ford corporate notices what you are doing, believe me, you are not the norm. The dealerships around here are a joke, I Wouldn’t trust anyone at my local dealer ship to even change the windshield wipers on my 6.7

[@BlackdogNY]

The front differential on my '06 looks similar to yours....it's doest have a large flat area like the rear. My jack slipped off... luckily nothing got damaged on the truck. Jack is a bit bent...lol. Does anyone make a cradle that goes around the diff for more stability?

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Yes they do

[@Itsa_Mea]

The Daytona jack has been a real performer for me too. Except the rubber pad got chewed and eaten up.... too much brake clean exposure I think.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Hahahahahahah

[@brianmercado2968]

Hey I understand this is allot to do but could you show how to lift trucks with a jack and jack stand to decompress the suspension? I'd imagine you just lift at the same points as you would with the hoist? But those points are also high off the ground for a jack. Thoughts?

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Why wouldn't you do as I showed you here

[@brianmercado2968]

For instance, I don't own a hoist I only have a jack and jack stand, but I need to lift the front end of the truck with out the suspension compressing on a 11 rwd drw 350 cab chasis.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Ok

[@mannyfresh8504]

Will the same apply for a 1500 🐏… jacking via rear diff. ?

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Shit yeah

[@taylor3915]

Just noticing from your plate, you’re in VA? I am too. How would one get in contact for you to be the one performing service on a super duty?

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Just a dummy plate. We're in DET. Come thru, we get trucks shipped to us all the time.

[@nombr]

Not that I don’t trust you arod but from all the forum cruising I’ve done every one says to avoid jacking from the diff. Is there a certain spot that worries people when jacking up from the diffs or something? I’ve personally been using the factory bottle jack and lifting up where the manual says to. But if I can I would love to just use a ford jack

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Jacking from the diff has absolutely no bearing on anything while lifting. #1 reason WHY I am not on forums is because of this goofy nonsense. There are hoists that lift up these trucks that actually grab the tubes....stay here!!!!.....NOT on THERE pal

[@nombr]

Haha ok sounds good, thanks for the clarification man

The tip you gave about jacking up heavy duty pickups with the wheels just coming off is also a good tip vs raising the vehicle too high @ 5:58

[@ericcabrera5260]

If I just need to jack up one side on the rear, could I just place the jack on the rear shock or does it do harm to the shocks?

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

I wld jack up the diff like u saw me do

[@sufoj]

So I need to let my rear suspension hand so I can install air bags on a 2019 Dually that pulls a horse trailer while hauling a 2300 pound slide in truck camper. I have not lifted one of these before, and my garage is the outside, on a gravel driveway. Any ideas from the crowd? I need to lift from the frame?

What size jack stands you use for f250

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

I dnot remember

[@axl151]

I see lots of people lifting under the rear diff without issue, but page 335 of my 2011 owner's manual says "Never use the front or rear differential as a jacking point". Why is this? Serious question.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

I suppose the "weight" of the axle tubes & what not "bending".....I duno if I believe that...but that's what I was just told. Cld be tru...nvr heard of it

[@TJB-zt9tx]

Don't get the jack under the edge of the diff housing cover plate! You'll bend it and create a leak. Then you'll be spending more money on a new plate.

[@johncaruana6406]

I’ve read the same thing before.

[@Dcj01]

Just put a piece of 4x4 in between the jack n diff.

Ford says not to use rear diff to jack up. Is there a reason for this ?

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Ford also says other things, but do you guys listen to that.....

[@m9ovich785]

Pressed in tubes can distort, because the Vehicle weight is at the suspension and you are trying to lift aways from that point ..

[@donaldkraft7371]

Check out safe jack for bottle jacks, great kit

[@acemobile9806]

you do NOT want to jack the pumpkin on an axle with press-in tubes (Sterlings, Dana 80s, AAMs) with a lot of load on the truck. You can distort/bend the axle tubes doing it that way where they are pressed into the carrier. Axles with drop-out chunks (Ford 9", Dana S110s, any semi-truck) are not quite as sensitive to this but still use some common sense. If the truck is heavily loaded, either get the load off or jack as close to the wheels as possible. The heavier it is, the more you'll want to use the bottle jack & as long as the vehicle stays in place, it's actually safer. Just my 2 cents based on my years of "shaking hands with danger" 🤣

[@raymondmiller2666]

Would you damage the truck if you lifted from the receiver bar in the hitch with a floor Jack ?

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Ummm

[@larryphillips4164]

Gg

[@GunsStangs]

Promoting jacking on the differential is insane. You are taking the distributed weight from both springs and placing it in one center point. The weight of the truck is still on the springs yet not on the wheels when jacking in this manner. This may have been fine in the days of a continuous, solid rear but those days ended decades ago. This is NOT a safe method of rear jacking with a modern, live, rear end.

[@bretthl1]

bullshit

[@lchavarin]
