Jeep Wrangler Differential Cover Upgrade Do It Yourself- G2 Brute Aluminum

[@Mixofitall]

I am recently a new jeep builder. without your videos it would not be possible. I appreciate the thorough directions that you give. looking forward to putting my new G2 differential cover on this weekend. thanks bud!

[@AutoEdits]

Glad to help!

[@Jetmech01]

I didn’t think about the oil level, I was thinking of the strength part. Now I know that this is a pretty important upgrade. This is why I love your channel!

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks so much... I can't even take credit for really appreciating the added benefit of that element without my Jeeping freinds!

[@jackmoorhead2147]

I see there are several comments about you spilling fluids. Heck, that means you are as normal as the rest of us. Excellent video and I really like the idea of the hand pump for the gear oil. Keep these videos coming. They are great!

[@AutoEdits]

Thank you!

[@iamoutofideas13]

The hand pump thing at the end is priceless! I'm that guy who never would have thought of that and just kept spilling gear oil all over my driveway.

[@paulj.8652]

Love being able to reference your videos, no matter how old, when I perform upgrades to my Jeep! Thought I'd share that a good habit when changing diff covers is to use a pick to check the bottoms of the bolt holes in the diff for dried rtv. I've had instances where whoever last worked on the diff applied way too much rtv and forced it into the holes. This has resulted in the new bolts compressing the dry rtv and shearing off as a torque wrench will not indicate appropriately in such a case. I sure learned the hard way! Bolt extraction can be a pain!

[@robertd3508]

Just bought my first jeep. It's a 2017 JK Ruricon. Didn't know what I waited to do to it ,but watching your videos you have got me thinking of all kinds of stuff to do to it. Best videos I seen and I really like the way you show how to put stuff on. Keep up the great work on the videos.

[@AutoEdits]

Awesome to hear from you! Welcome to the Jeep world and I hope you stick around for a while!

[@hamilton5071]

You need your own TV show. You have the voice and speaking skills for it.

[@EVH5150iii]

This is my favorite Jeep channel. The editing and information is well delivered

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks 👍

[@stoneyroberts9118]

Great video as always. And please do a video on the cleanup/detail work as I always admire your cleaning of the Jeep when installing new parts, I know you wheel it but also keep it in good shape too which I admire.

[@AutoEdits]

Well cool! I'll put that video in the mix!

[@philv930]

Sweet! This video was a great walk through! I made my life a little easier and went with Lube Locker Gaskets instead of the Sealant with my Poison Spyder Bomb Proof Covers. Hardest part was filling the oil to the right level.

[@ryanvolna9069]

Jason, I've been watching your videos for about 2 years now. I love watching the progress on your projects and your videos are wicked cool! Keep up the awesome work and great attitude! Peace!

[@AutoEdits]

Really great to hear from you and thanks so much for the support all this time!

[@frost6157]

I like how the diff cover looks like it has the Jeep grill on it!🔥🔥

[@AutoEdits]

Didn't really look at it that way till you said that... now I like it even more!!!

[@NaturesChild]

FrosT beat me to it. Was gonna say he has a couple more easter eggs.

[@jamesandrews7441]

Nice Jason. Very nice. That's one of the best upgrades I did to my jk too. I used lubelocker gaskets though. I dislike rtv sealant. Such a mess. I can take those things off as many times as I want and they never leak when I reapply them. Great video

[@kevinbates5760]

Great vid as usual and thank you. I am going to change gear fluid before my Moab, Colorado trip this year. I did not think about the pinion angle change effecting fluid fill.

[@AutoEdits]

It's actually a thing! Thanks a bunch for watching!

[@Warhorse469]

Those hand oil pumps make life so much easier and less messy lol

[@AutoEdits]

You got that right!

[@user-cb7cf6mp4q]

I’ve really been missing these Jeep videos!! Hope you do another road trip soon so you can document everything!

[@AutoEdits]

I'm due for a road trip in this thing soon! Thanks!

[@jr388]

Finally! More on the Jeep.

[@brianwebb9121]

Love your video. Word of advice....I put large pieces of cardboard under my jeep for all oil changes and diff fluid jobs. I was wondering for the life of me why you just didn't simply move the pan under where you were pouring. I get it the first time you spilled, but then you did it two more times without putting carboard down and moving the catch container underneath. Sorry but that seemed to just be a no brainer to me. (🙂). Keep up the good work on your videos as I always find them helpful.

[@RobbieHodge]

This has been on my mod list for a while. Time to order diff covers!

[@AutoEdits]

Yep, me too... glad I finally just knocked it out. Even shooting video, it didn't take that long to do.

[@i-Lion9]

I know this is an old video but I look for your videos when I'm working on my jeep. I'm going to change my diff fluid and cover. I was wondering if it's necessary to clean the inside with brake fluid. This will be the first time I change the oil. Bought the jeep used. You ROCK!!!

[@AutoEdits]

Unless there is something specific to clean in there like metal debris... I do NOT use brake clean inside the diff. Just wipe down what I can and seal it back up.

[@i-Lion9]

@@AutoEdits thank you will do

[@dukejunior7081]

That's funny you mention about the washers. Yea I do that. Always put the nicer, shinier side of the washer out. OCD.

[@AutoEdits]

Yep!

[@tomb9953]

Sorry guys, it depends on the application. I know the shiny beveled edge looks better facing out, but that leaves the sharp edge facing in and that can gall the surface when tightening. Also, it depends on the type of washer. Such as spring or conical washers. These have to be used with cup side in to get the benefit of design. I’m getting to long winded. I deal with the washer issue in my job all the time and have installers go back and flip washers, and at times we are talking well over a hundred. They just love me for that. Lol

[@bfreddyd]

Great video Jason, working on the Jeep is definitely my favorite, keep 'em comin'.

[@1111Overland]

This might sound a little weird but, I’m really really excited for your “next video” about cleaning the undercarriage of your jeep. I think it’s often missed and something I really want to learn. The few times I’ve asked people how they do it they give me that quizzical look as though I’d be crazy to clean the underside of my jeep, but with all the rust dings and other things that happen it makes perfect sense!Looking forward to seeing your techniques!

[@AutoEdits]

Not weird at all... ok maybe a little... no kidding... or am I? LOL!

[@RayBullHere]

Thanks never thought of fluid level difference with raised pinion angle.

[@AutoEdits]

No problem 👍 I learned the same way from a friend!

[@leroycastro-martinez3804]

Awesome video brother!! Can’t wait to do the same upgrade. Your videos keep me going bro. I stay up watching all your videos even though I know I have to wake up early, lol . I literally watch till 4am and the same videos

[@organicmechanic8170]

@autoedits great video! I just grabbed a pair of the new style G2 Hammer diff covers for my Gladiator. It was either the new G2 Hammer or the ARB Diff cover and I went with the G2 because I've seen a lot of the ARB covers with rusty logos and bolts after a short while, even though I like the design of the cover itself. G2 has a good price point considering I'm not paying for features I don't need like a sight window or dipstick and they powder coat the whole cover inside and out and provide stainless hardware. I'll let ya know after I install them how I like them.

[@Bennett-xo6iu]

Nice job on the diff covers they look awsome... Im catching up on all the up grades you have done on this jeep and its lookin Awsome... Keep the videos comin...

[@AutoEdits]

Welcome and thanks so much!

[@Bennett-xo6iu]

@@AutoEdits hopefully you put some more jeeps videos up and some more road trips with it would be awsome...

[@Sergeant_Prepper]

I love how you love to clean! Thanks for the video!

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks for watching!

[@isuguy82]

The seven slots (obvious Jeep nod) on the diff covers are an awesome touch! If you try to level off the pinion angle when refilling the diff, is there any danger in adding too much oil?

[@AutoEdits]

I found that in the front, filling it to the sight hole is a bit much... at 85mph it spits gear oil out the vent tube. A good rule of thumb is to fill it to the bottom of the axle tubes.

[@Hawk130Gaming]

Looking forward to that underbody detail of Jeep guide I still can never seem to get mine clean. Great video!

[@AutoEdits]

I keep meaning to do that video but keep not cleaning the Jeep...lol Thanks!

[@bustedback]

I was forced into servicing my rear diff on my Rubicon because the rear locker got stuck and wouldn't release. After doing a brake cleaner douche and fiddling with the locker, I was able to get it to release. I was amazed at how much pasty muck was inside the locker actuator that was causing it to stick. So if your Rubicon axle lock gets stuck, just douche it out and change the oil after releasing the locker.

[@mikemacpherson7135]

Love you videos Jason, and your Jeep! Great upgrade with the diff covers! Can’t wait to get them for my YJ!

[@AutoEdits]

I can't believe it took me so long to do this upgrade... they are a big investment but worth it and easy to install!

[@potheadpro1]

You should make a video about how much you have spent on the jeep so far and what’s the future plans for it! Would love to hear it.

[@AutoEdits]

I don't even want to know how much I've spent on this thing... way too much. It's kind of like a denial thing. Just drive it and enjoy.

[@Doogs5150]

Just installed this awesome cover on my rear differential. Looks great! Question: is the front cover the same as the rear?

[@AutoEdits]

Yes, it is

[@Doogs5150]

[@oliverschmidt1365]

Thanks for the inspiration! Just completed this yesterday. Going to checkout your other videos.

WHAT!!!! You didn't stay with MetalCloak differential covers? Love my "M's" painted in Hemi Orange :-). Love your Jeep and every video you do is perfection!!

[@AutoEdits]

I know, I know... got to mix it up just a little bit. Don't get me wrong tho.... Love me some MetalCloak!

[@blackdiamondrob]

love the look of those but wondering how ANY aftermarket diff cover as strong and bomb proof as it may be, can keep from being torn off any better than the factory diff cover. Seems the best protection would be some kind of skid underneath the diff cover?

[@AutoEdits]

The stamped steel stock covers are prone to peel and are much less durable than these or even the metalcloak steel covers I have now. I agree a skid is the best protection against dragging it over a rock for sure.

[@smoothskates]

Very nice. ONE THING, That cover will produce more friction and heat due to the flat face, can also cause aeration and lack of pinion lubing a nice curve for the ring provides. Any issues at all after then install?? Good point on the front cover for clearances while using OEM, would have forgotten about that!

[@stitch1007]

Those G2 covers look nice. I have the Teraflex for the same reason. Much easier to fill with the aftermarket covers.

[@AutoEdits]

YEP! Just better all the way around!

[@226devin]

I’ll be pretty happy with the clean and detail video of the undercarriage of the Jeep. Also I do the same with the washers . Lol

[@MrJake81283]

More fluid = more work being done. Witch means heat. Watch the banks read diff cover videos.

[@Josephasaurus]

you kept spilling and you literally had that drain pan sitting there lol

[@AutoEdits]

I know, right

[@cordellmunier9705]

Gale Banks is doing a new study on diff covers that allow more fluid. He’s saying they may not be good. More fluid may be causing more heat and other issues. Havnt seen the rest of his text videos. May be something to check out!

[@AutoEdits]

Good data. In this case I needed the volume increase to be able to get oil to the pinion gear.

[@RubiconUnlimited]

Great video. I've got a couple of g2 diff covers sitting in their boxes waiting to be installed. Will have to get to this once the Canadian weather turns around!

[@AutoEdits]

Howdy dude! I had these sitting here for a long time as well and didn't have the Canadian weather excuse... all that matters is they get on eventually!

[@philsilva443]

Great videos! I’m learning so much about wranglers thanks to you. I have a 2011 sport and looking to invest in a 2.5 lift so I can fit 35’s. What size gear do you recommend changing to for this upgrade? Thanks a lot for your videos!

[@BakedDaily]

4.10 don’t buy 2.5 lift just go for the 3inch

[@Tomaszeking]

With your videos everything seems pretty easy . It's nicely shown and explained like ChrisFix . I can see a little bit of Pinto in the back ground. I can't wait to see how this upgrades will work in the field. Greetings Jason :)

[@AutoEdits]

Howdy and Thanks! Yes, Pinto ended up coming under the Jeep for some scratches but I cut that out.

[@Tomaszeking]

Thanks for answer :)

[@H.pylori]

Very well done video. Thanks for saying that a novice like me can do this. How difficult to break open the cover bolts and drain/fill plugs? Thumbs up!

[@AutoEdits]

The bolts on the cover aren't very tight so easy to remove... the stock drain plug takes some effort but the drain plug on the new G2 is easy.

[@sarg492]

Can’t wait for that clean up video

[@allanwagner4570]

ok sooooo the fill hole is set high enough for a 4.5 in lift and will have enough oil in the diff??? I hope this is the case??? I worry about both over & under filling however hopefully with this weep hole I should be ok..... I saw the allen screw but til I watched your vid I didnt know??? what the hell that screw was for HAHAHA what a dork???? thanks PS>>>>I put 2 US quarts in both front & rear

[@AutoEdits]

HA! Pinion angle is actually a big factor in the level as well so make sure you have yours set close. There is a bit of forgiveness in the level so don't stress too much about it! Use good oil... I've been very pleased with the Lucas stuff!

[@Skitter302]

Cool. This company even makes covers for the Ford 8.8 :) Thanks for the Video Jason!

[@AutoEdits]

Of course! Thanks so much for being here!

[@semyono11783]

Hi Jason, quick question, did you brake-kleen the gears before throwing on the new covers or just left them as is? I saw a couple of vids with guys throwing brake-kleen and was wondering if it was a mandatory thing. thanks and I love you videos.

[@AutoEdits]

I did not. There wasn't much in the way of metal shavings or debris of any kind inside the diff. so I didn't see the need to spray a solvent inside there. Otherwise, yes... would've cleaned.

[@semyono11783]

awesome thanks

[@tinachang2657]

Hi Jason, Thanks for the video. I just installed these covers on a ‘17 JKU. I had no clearance issues with the larger cover and stock components in the front. The most difficult part was getting the tools to fit around everything. You seemed not to have that problem. Would you consider doing a “useful tools for Jeep maintenance” video? :)

[@AutoEdits]

Awesome to hear you did this install! Thanks for the suggestion... I added that to "the list" of videos to shoot!

[@teo2975]

You just haven't been out on the road enough, they will hit

[@tinachang2657]

@@teo2975 Yeah, you’re right. I posted this two years ago. They do, in fact, hit. There’s a spot on the cover that’s been scraped away so no issues now. :)

[@ortiz73caify]

Awesome upgrade this is an upgrade I did about a year ago. Quick question how are have you liking the 488 gears? How does it do on the highway? Just wondering if 513 is to much, for 37’s.

[@AutoEdits]

If you have Dana44 axles and 37's... you shouldn't go 5.13 because in my opinion it's too tall and the pinion becomes a weak spot in the drive-train.

[@ocabj]

Do you think the G2 Brute will clear the rear track bar on a stock Rubicon (stock trackbar, no lift)? I like this differential design including the temperature sensor port.

[@OverlandTT]

Really starting to get into your channel, love you content. Question for you is that doesn't alloy crack as opposed to stamped steel would just dent on a rock? If nothing else they do look great and the extra oil is a bonus for the diff. On a side note, the Dana 44s on my grand called for 75w140 - could you use that grade in the jk?

[@kswyg001]

iVlogBuzz 75w-140 is the spec for towing or heavy off-road. Realistically, with 37's and the higher gears, it wouldn't have hurt to run the thicker oil.

[@AutoEdits]

My buddy Kris from Powerstop recommended this stuff and I've been using it exclusively for 2 years now and it seems to keep everything happy.

[@AutoEdits]

Good info. Thanks!

[@Tony3deee]

This was helpful. I was wondering about why to use the lower weight oil as well. Great Vid!

[@danabney4433]

Nice “Step Brothers” reference.

[@AutoEdits]

Glad you got that!

[@Stuka87]

It looks like the cover you put in back is intended for a high pinion? I know after market ones have a higher fill plug, but if you look at say, an ARB cover, they have two fill plugs. One for a low and one for a high pinion. Just curious is all :)

[@AutoEdits]

They are both the same in this video. Makes sense that there would be a ton of option for fill plugs, these seemed just right for this application.

[@SebastianGomez-lt2fw]

Can you do a video about cleaning your tires. Mine are starting to turn a brownish color and they are brand new. I don't know how to fix them. I hope you see this!

[@AutoEdits]

Sure, give me some time and I'll throw that in the mix.

[@AW-xv7dq]

I am very familiar with that hunched seated position you are in under your jeep. Make sure you lean fwd down the middle and not to one side for any extended period of time. Imminent back issues otherwise sir.

[@tony5517]

Can you do a video on how you put the gears in?

[@Story_Teller_Everyone]

Didn’t you mention that the angle of the axel you needed to fill a little extra? Seemed to just go to fill line.

[@AutoEdits]

It was a little past the fill hole and still draining out when I put the plug in... just didn't show on camera. If nothing was coming out of the hole it would've been below that level... plus the hole is higher on the new cover so all is good!

[@Whiteknuckler57]

use a pump from the bottle for dif oil to dif

[@ognaysayer]

Have you ever tried a lube locker diff gasket? They are reusable and you don’t have to use messy rtv.

[@AutoEdits]

I've seen them but they are expensive and these things came with the RTV so I just used it. Never really had a problem with it. One of these days I'll try them.

[@ognaysayer]

autoedit I used one on my mustang when I put on my GT500 diff cover. It made things quick and easy. Sometimes I am willing to pay more for convenience. Sometimes.

[@Takiscertified]

I know I am 3 years late to this video but I wanted to tackle more things I could do myself on my Jeep. This 75w 90 is it only for the Dana 44 or can it be used on different gears as well? I have a JKU Sahara would it be fine to use this Lucas oil on it?

Absolutely!

Did you let the RTV set up before putting in oil? I always thought you had to wait a few hours before you put fluid in

[@turtle2448thomas]

Wouldn't anti-sieze benefit the drain and fill plugs since they go into aluminum and see the occasional drop into a water hole?

[@AutoEdits]

Not a bad observation. But I put grease on the threads and O rings and there's grease behind the bolts so it should be ok.

[@snow13385]

I came back to this video bc im gonna upgrade my diff covers, I was just wondering if having a limited slip diff effects the type of oil you use. I have a 2015 Jeep wrangler sport unlimited.

[@AutoEdits]

Well thanks for coming back to the video... Yes, generally a limited slip differential needs a few ounces of some sort of friction modifier added to the gear oil. You can get a small tube at any auto parts store.

[@snow13385]

thank you! keep up the great work, love the videos.

[@supercharged00gtp]

Good video, I was going to ask about a transfer pump for the rear, then you had it for the front. LOL

[@firecrackerfixup8472]

Another awesome video Jason. Thanks. Just wondering why you went with the G2's versus the ARB's? I suspect since you have the G2 gears you have been happy with them so why change? Just wondering your thoughts on the differences between the two brands?

[@AutoEdits]

I didn't change brands. The G2 gears and axle shafts got installed two years ago and are still in there... very happy with them. Because I liked them so much I went with the same brand for the differential cover... that's it!

[@ivanperez4031]

I wonder, does the dealer actually remove the diff cover and clean the gears when you take it in for a fluid change ?? They charge $159.00 per axle for the service and it seems a bit steep for a drain and refill.

[@gnh1351]

I’m about to do this to my Jeep. Do I need to wait for the sealant to dry? Before adding fluid or anything like that?

[@AutoEdits]

It is recommended to let it set up for a few hours but I never do and it seems to work pretty good.

[@EmiratiAuto]

does the drag link line or the rear track bar hitting the diff cover when flexing ? does the front tie rod or Drag Link hitting the diff cover when flexing ? in other words does any of your suspension hit the diff covers ? sorry for my english

[@AutoEdits]

It does not hit the suspension but I have Metalcloak arms that give extra room for this type of stuff. Stock arms would probably hit.

[@Doberman144]

Are there any issues with the aluminum covers heating & cooling and the bolts loosing up ? I had this issue back in the 70's with a car I upgraded the cover on .. Great video thanks ..

[@malang724]

Hey, sort of unrelated question, but you said you have 4.88 gears in your diff, My setup is very similar to yours, 2016 jkur manual trans, lifted 4.5" with 37" tires and I still have the stock 4.10s in the diff, I recently got a small travel trailer and noticed it's really time for me to get my gears changed. I've done some browsing around on the internet and am leaning towards 5.13 ratio but would love to hear any recommendations you may have for what ratio/brand gears you think would be best for me. Also, how are you liking the shifter upgrade? Still loving it?

[@robscherer]

Might have already touched on this (many times), but any thoughts on the new JL and what do you think about 4-doors vs 2? Why did you choose to go with the Unlimited? Also, can you take the Jeep's top off with the roof rack on? If no, do you miss being able to do that?

[@AutoEdits]

I really like the new JL would own one for sure, just not with the same V6 engine I have now. I'm a 4door guy because it fits my lifestyle best and the wheel base works best for me. And yes, the roof rack comes off with 8 bolts and the top can easily be removed. I don't take the top off.

[@robscherer]

If possible, and time permitting, tell me about why you wouldn't choose the v-6 again? Unfortunately, its the only engine choice that comes with a MT in the new JL, correct? I appreciate the quick response and your videos are incredible, awesome quality, demonstrations, and info. Love getting an education. Still liking the new shifter on your MT?

[@AutoEdits]

I'm just not a fan of this V6 in the Wrangler platform. It's just adequate that's all. This summer there will be the other options released and I'm only eager to drive one when that happens. Diesel should be interesting.

[@ronpippin4893]

I'm kind of tired of putting a quart of oil in the 3.8 every thousand miles, and am looking forward to seeing what the fuel mileage and towing capacity is on the JL myself. Although, I really don't want to start over again on the mods either...

[@sirhatch]

You have a full Metalcloak suspension yet are putting on a G2 cover?

[@AutoEdits]

Is that weird?

[@Michael_00001]

Question: On the 4WheelParts website for this particular part it says "**Not for use on Jeep JK front axles". Did you use a different part for your front axle? I really like these but concerned about why this would be stated on their site. Is it simply because it won't fit the stock steering parts?

[@rogerslawncare7260]

Just curious. Does it matter about letting the silicone dry on the case before adding the gear oil??this to me seems like it would matter. What’s your take on this?

[@AutoEdits]

The instructions say to do that but I don't. Aint nobody got time for that... lol In all seriousness, I don't wait and they don't leak.

[@Rick-4552]

Have you ever tried the lube locker gaskets , i like them alot it seems i always had a leak using the silicone on mine . Those covers are sweet !

[@AutoEdits]

My buddy runs them and they look pretty neat. I just didn't order them in time for this install and they seem kinda expensive compared to the tube of sealer.

I don't think the sway bars would be the issue but the stock steering and track bar may be tricky.

[@carlospartida6438]

Another awesome video. Do you have a link for those covers?

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks!!! I just slapped a link in the description!

[@chaosncheckt9356]

Interesting comment right at the end. So, you don't think these will fit the front of my 2005 Jeep Rubicon?

[@AutoEdits]

It's been so long since I've seen the front with stock components on there that I'm not sure how much of a bend they have in them. This cover doesn't stick out much further (if at all) but is just larger around the flange.

[@chaosncheckt9356]

So, got the new G2 Brute Aluminum units and did the install last night. I went with RoyalPurple 75W-145. Went out and started the beast this morning and both front and rear lock warning lights are on. So went back and called the company and they said their mistake. Their website and product description clearly stated the covers fit a Dana 44 on a Jeep TJ however they do not. Total misprint on their part - so they paid for return shipping, no restock fee and offered me an older G2 model that would fit. All I had to do was call their sales and give them some info and make the order. Unfortunately, two attempts and 25-min hold times meant it wasn't to be. So, I found the right G2 covers on Quadratec for a real good price. Unfortunately, I was stuck jeepless for four days as the old covers were trashed.

[@lorikey6713]

Every thing that I read about servicing the differentials they tell you to let the rtv cure for 24 hrs before filling them up. Is this not really true?

I never have waited and it has been fine for me. Recently I have switched to these Lube Locker kits and will never look back try this thing... make sure to order one for your axle this one is for the D44 in a Jeep Rubicon. www.amazon.com/dp/B008RAD3NG/?ref=idea_lv_dp_ov_d&tag=aiponsite-20&linkCode=ic6&ascsubtag=amzn1.ideas.3V59WNMGIVSC0

Quick question about the MC lift....how’s it holding up...track bar, control arms, exc. any problems or complaints? Oh BTW I really enjoy all ur videos. Keep them coming!!!

The MC Game Changer kit has been flawless. No complaints at all and it gets used pretty good... would highly recommend for sure!

That’s great because I literally just ordered the 3.5 rock sport game changer yesterday! Your videos are what made me go with MC. Oh and if u have any tips on setting up the control arms or anything u didn’t cover in ur video let me know. Thanks
