In this video I show how I replace the front axle u-joints and hub assemblies on a 2011 Ram 2500 with a 6.7. This is pretty much the same process on the older solid axle 1/2 tons too.

This is awesome I just did a wheel bearing on. 2500slt Cummins Sunday night. I had to use my smallest snapon chisel. And beat that hub of the spindle. It was a nightmare. I’m a rookie diesel tech fresh out of the Army 11 years. New to the civilian market. Been working on green things forever. Your videos inspire me I hope one day I will own shop of and have my wife running the front. Thank you again. Scouts Out!

I bought a 1/4 drive impact driver at harbor freight, $60 over a year ago. I bought it to removed 8mm and smaller fasteners. I used it for a month every day at the shop, then I used it to build my deck, I bought 2 extra batteries ($26 for both) and used it nonstop for hours. I Still use it every day at the shop, still working great! I wouldnt say ALL the tools at harbor freight are great, BUT for $60, I think I got my moneys worth! I am glad to see you have had good luck with your harbor freight impact, Its on my list to buy ;) Keep up the great work! ( I also have a the earthquake 1/2 air impact, use that daily too.)

i used to struggle on the press like you to do the tough u joints. until i saw a coworker use a ball joint c clamp press. you can use a truck anchor pin press on the bigger ones. clamp the shaft in a vice and go easy with an impact works like a dream. and if not the flame wrench comes out.

When you take your bearing caps off the U joint always put a few squirts of grease in them right away. That will always keep you from dropping a needle bearing when you go back to put them in. And leave the grease zirk out till last. That way when the bearing caps go back in it will fill the U joint up with Greece and come out the zirk hole. Love all your videos. Thanks for sharing...

I always use to dab a little grease in the cups to hold the needle bearings in place. Dropped a few in the early days and had it lay sideways at the bottom of the cup and then had to take them apart again and rest the needles. Glad you showed everybody how to tap the sides with the hammer to equalize the tension on the u joint and make it smooth from the pressure of assembly.

Super cool video!! The only thing I do differently is put the U-joints in a vice, like you did, open it up, take your Worm-drive skilsaw or Cutoff, I like the Skilsaw because it has so much torque and great handles, put a metal cutting blade on and cut through the old U-Joints. Once they're out, punch all of the caps IN, cleaner, 10 times faster and most of us don't have huge presses.

I bought one of those earthquake impacts after watching you use yours... I charged it one time and did about 10 front end jobs... and even pulled some duels off of a dump truck before I even charged it the second time. They are worth the money... the electricity you save from not having to run the air compressor will pay for the tool... good find guy.

First time I did a set of GM nylon-locked u-joints, I not only bent the ears of the yoke, but I also bent my Harbor "Fright" ball joint press! Instead of a "C" it was more closely resembling a "V". 😂 I paid $50 for that press from a Harbor Fright in Phoenix back in '99, long before they were heard of in the Northeast. Still have it! I heated the hell out of it, leaned it up against a 30-yard WM dumpster that was here at the time, and took 4 full over-the-shoulder swings with a full-sized sledgehammer onto it - 2 swings on each end - after heating the shnazz out of it with Mapp for 10 minutes. It worked!! Twas that day that I learned to MELT the nylon, and not try to muscle through it, just because you've got a press! 😁 You've got a great woman there Eric! Mine cooks for me too, but she works at a salon full time, so I end up eating the same smoked turkey sandwich, smothered in horsey sauce, for years on end, lol. She'll usually cook supper for me in the morning (she works late), and throw it in the fridge, so all I have to do is toss it in the nukeulator for a minute or 2, and supper is ready. One of the many reasons I married this one. 😉

Greetings from Edmonton. This is THE best vid on a mechanical repair I have ever seen. I have an '02 Ram 2500 with at least one of the front wheel U joints worn, perhaps not as far gone as those shown, but in need of replacement [they click when I have driven the truck for awhile and am tuning into my driveway]. Thank you, and kudos to you for the great instruction. Just to add, I love it that you have the cam set up stationary, so that it isn't buzzing all over the place like a fly.

A couple weeks ago I got to do this on a truck from Texas. Guy was up in Alberta Canada visiting. Half hour start to finish on one side. No rust anywhere, the bearing just slid out of the knuckle when the 4 bolts were loose. took under 10 mins to do the ujoint, a couple taps and all the cups were out. Was an '06 ram 3500 with almost 300 000 miles too. The bearings and ujoints were original. And normally when all goes well on trucks around here it can still be like a 2-3hr job on one side.

I live and work in upstate NY (Albany, Schenectady, Troy area). Half the roads I travel on are dirt up here. The dirt roads never give-up the salts and when it rains that dirt sticks to everything under the truck..bringing with it the salts and abrasives in the mud/dirt. Vehicles just don't last that long up here. It's cheaper for us to locate an unsuspecting Southern Car with some miles on it..and bring it to its certain death up here in NY than to buy new. Trucks are so expensive now too..it's just not practical to purchase a new car up here.

I have an 03 with 135000, my u joints are shot, but I’m letting them go a while yet until this summer when I’m doing ball joints. Far as I know its the originals yet.

good vid - had to do my 2007 last year (2018) and although in Canada i live far enough North that we don't bother with salt for a lot of the winter since it is not effective below minus 18 so not worth using it. I used the press like you since hammering on these is not good, too easy to bend stuff, doing the U-joints, Wheel bearings, and every U-joint in the whole truck had to be done over a period of a couple years, it is just part of the pleasure of owning a 2500 i guess. I did the socket and short extension trick for the wheel bearing removal and it worked pretty well. Great video - thanks.

Harbor Freight sells a pack of wire wheels for about seven or eight bucks it will help you clean up all the rusty parts if you stick it in a drill I was working on Class A vehicles that did International routes so I dealt with all kinds of rust and having just simple wire wheels on a drill made my job so much easier

You should mention the proper location for the grease fitting on the u-joint. You got it in the right place, angled to the opening between the ears of the drive shaft. You also clocked it correctly so that part of the u-joint cross will close under drive forces. The hole for the grease fitting makes that area slightly weaker between those two cross arms. If it is under tension, where driving forces will spread the cross arms, then it is more likely to break. Under compression it is less likely to break. Good job. I'm soooooo glad to not live in the rusty part of the country any more.

It amazes me the difference in repairs between the northeast and the south, you talk about doing all this work at 44k like it’s just common place, here in Georgia we don’t start doing repairs like this on these trucks til like 175k-200k or say 10-15 years old

I don’t know how people afford vehicles in NY. I purchased a 2005 4x4 V10 Excursion 3 years ago with 180k miles. I put in a new HD transmission and did a head gasket change 2 years ago. She is running like a champ and I plan on riding her for another 15-20 years. I’ll just do the maintenance as needed. I guess living in SW Washington State where it rains 9 mo per year but we never put salt on the road has its advantages. I also have a 1986 F350 with the 460 and while she needs new exhaust manifold gaskets, the bones are in great shape.
