Nicely done! I need to do this on my V8 soon, so you've served as inspiration as I was not looking forward to this job. The only thing I would do differently is installing a Sonax Zip Kit whilst the Mechatronic unit is out as well as a metal gasket instead of paper. Keep an eye on that gasket for leaks!

[@johnedwards7118]

I was dreading this job, easily the biggest I have undertaken! I am still living in fear of the leaks. The only part of that kit I was unimpressed with was that gasket. I’ll upgrade the gasket when I have it off to change the filter next. Good luck doing the job, let me know how you get on. If you get stuck in on Instagram with the same name so bang me a message and I’ll get back to you.

Glad you liked it mate! Hopefully it helps

Nicely done. Keep the videos coming.

[@johnedwards7118]

Thanks mate, I have never had so much oil in my eyes in my life! Messiest job ever!

[@jasonandlesleyread7428]

Thanks very much for showing that!

[@johnedwards7118]

No problem! It’s a tricky job! Good luck

Great video, Keep them coming, I enjoy them :) Has for them meski bolts under the cross member, You could use a bit set that fits a 10mm ratchet spanner.

[@johnedwards7118]

I did think about getting a low profile ratchet but I had already broken the gearing on my 1/4 drive trying to get the fill hole open and then had to buy a new 3/8 drive as I broke that one in the diff video, so I was £60 down replacing the tools! My wife is understanding but to a point! So I just had to do those bolts under the cross members the hard way.

good job! Thnx for share

Hope it helped buddy! It’s a pig of a job but the truck is running lovely now!

[@miroarva1424]

Hey John. Thanks for sharing. Very detailed process you presented. Need to do mine too. What was your milage when you done this?

[@johnedwards7118]

Hi mate I did this at 173k. Good luck

[@miroarva1424]

@@johnedwards7118 wow and was this first time the oil been changed on yours? Mine is only at 119k and the shudder is apparent and the revs indicator moves up and down from time to time. Mine hasn’t had the oil changed yet but I would thought the symptoms wouldn’t come at around at least 150-170

[@johnedwards7118]

@@miroarva1424 I suspect that was the 1st time my gear oil had been out, I am actually looking to change the oil again in a couple of months as this only gets 60% of the old oil out so now it’s had a good mix I’ll drop the oil out again and refill just to ensure the oil is too quality in there. Good luck with the change, let me know how it goes. I’m on insta with the same user name if you have questions or get stuck DM me on there and I’ll get back to you asap.

[@miroarva1424]

John, can I please check - have you used any adhesive silicon for gasket when applied on the sump? I only saw you applying a grease. Is that sufficient to hold and make sure it doesn’t leak?

[@johnedwards7118]

@@miroarva1424 hi mate no I only used grease to help keep the gasket in place when lining it up. I have been underneath a number of times since doing other jobs and there are no leaks.

[@user-dt2up9wo4u]

Do you no if the engine sump cums off easy I need to replace my gasket?

[@johnedwards7118]

Hi mate, that’s not a job I have had to do yet, my understanding is that it’s quite easy to do. Should just in bolt however if the last person that had it off used a bit of sealant as well as a gasket could be a bit trickier to get off. Good luck
