Jeep Wrangler JL Gear Swap | Spicer Parts

[@outlawchop-shop7468]

Do you have to replace the bearings? It looks like you reused them, but most listings for the gearset are selling the overhaul kit with all new bearings

[@Rockridge4WD]

At 7:38…. Please elaborate why it’s important to mark the orientation of the plate with the 5 tangs that engage into the locker. Having inspected this piece, it has no indications that it would fail to operate correctly if spun in either direction. Everything is around a perfect circle with equal distances. I would like to know the reason for this.

[@allentomlin9959]

What tool did you use to remove the side bearing

[@pauljordan756]

Great video. With added bonus of the safety tips at the end. Especially the one about being careful when working around parts with sharp edges... Very insightful. 😆

[@ossme]

Are those cv shafts? My axle came with u joints... what gives?

[@Andrew_the_markus]

the AWD Sahara is equipped with CV axle shafts as is the new 392 wrangler

[@Sandbagsims]

What is Spicer's break in procedure?

[@Spicerparts]

Dana recommends end users follow the OE break-in requirements for a new vehicle as referenced in your owner's manual. If a specific break in period is not suggested in the OE owner’s manual, then the following recommended guidelines can be followed: No trailer tow for first 500 miles with new axles. Avoid heavy off-road driving and/or full throttle accelerations for first 500 miles. Gearsets have a phosphate coating to reduce friction heat during initial break in period, and durability issues are not expected for normal, as designed usage, but following these break in recommendations will maximize the durability of the axle internal components including gears.

Nice!!

[@Intentsrig]

Could you please tell me if the rear axle shafts are the same length? Or are they like the Rubicon with different lengths? Trying to figure out if a Rubicon locker will work in the standard width m220 since all are 32 spline.

[@zer0mike285]

Brian Randolph the rear shafts are different sizes.

[@brandonbrierly3713]

Rear shafts are larger.

[@pra3t0rian]

Wow, that new JL front diff seems way overly complicated and delicate.

[@xjinit]

Yup, the long side snaps at that casting just by looking at it wrong.

[@brianr8633]

👍

[@chuckgilly]

It's a real joke they call this a Dana 44, completely different, even the JK version should have a different model number, at least a dash 2 or something like that (44-2). Lets call this abortion the Dana model 44-3

[@JeffPalmer941]

Or.. M210 :)
