Response, " Oh nothing, just let the air out to carry up from the basement" ?? Yes, thought 35# s of "air" meant same as weight. True story.

My father used to get 80,000 miles out of a cheap set of bias ply tires on his 1965 Volkswagen. That was the only car in our family that got that many miles off of a set of tires. I had a 2003 Impala LS that needed new tires every 25,000 miles. When the tires were being replaced on that Impala the rack and pinion steering gear unit also had to be replaced because it started leaking fluid. So it was a set of tires, rack and pinion, and wheel alignment. The total bill for that Impala was about $2,500.00. I sold that car.

[@fallenshallrise]

This is what freaks me out with all types of vehicles. We are counting on the reaction time of others so we don't die and it doesn't help when people have no brakes and no tread on their tires (or the wrong tires) so even if the driver has above average skill and reacts quickly to a situation they have no control are plowing into people anyway. Also why do people who "upgrade" their cars with aftermarket rims always cheap out on tires from some brand nobody has heard of like Xeneos or Zufang or something. There's a similar Nissan Pathfinder in my neighborhood rolling on mis-aligned cheap alloys with bald tires. "Upgraded" but dirty and never maintained.

ROUGH TRUCK! When I get those tough seals, I use a stiff putty knife with a dead blow or an oscillating tool with a scraper blade.. That's not a posi rear end. What's with the reluctor ring on the ring gear? I would pull the spider pinion shaft and check the side gears. They may be frozen to the carrier.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

The reluctor ring is for the electronic system on the differential, in terms of the locking axle. Way it works is, the reluctor ring is used in conjunction with the ABS and vehicle speed sensors to essentially tell if one wheel is abnormally turning faster than the other. Under normal conditions, whenever a car or truck makes a turn, the outer wheel, which is on the opposite side being turned into, e.g., a left turn, with the right rear wheel turning faster than the left, is programmed into the software logic for the vehicle ECU. That way, the axle doesn't lock up under normal conditions and cause "Poor Man's Posi Hop."

[@Digidoc316]

@@isaiahwelch8066 Thanks for the heads up on the reluctor ring but I'm still not understanding. Yes, the wheel speed sensors and the differential reluctor can send data to the computer but, without clutch packs or a solonoid-actuated locking mechanism, how does the rear end lock up?

They made a lot of black and silver f150's in 2005. I bought one new! It was a great truck for the 75k i put on it.

22:44 - that's my favorite part of the repair this day.

[@spencemccall8383]

Got an 08 of the same flavor. Got the diff bolts out except one. Couldn’t get my dry wall silicone cutting knife out by last bolt one . Totally wedged in by last bolt. Started wrenching on said bolt and snapped. Resealed everything except for said bolt. No leaks to date . Next time I reseal will weld a washer then weld a nut Ray style. Don’t wedge your nuts.

I have seen some people drive on a budget. When they have tires like these, they go to the junk yard, and get a used set off of a wrecked vehicle that came in. I was in a Pick n Pull getting a cowl cover, and they had plenty of used tires with plenty of tread. That is an option for the driver of this truck.

Fast motion on the parts cleaner makes the Chip and Dale voice. You crack me up Ray

Have actually seen an utuber lawn guy that paints the grass after cutting it. So watching painted grass dry is actually a thing

once my brother wanted help changing a flat. when i opened the trunk for the spare tire it was so badly worn the sun reflected off the exposed steel belts it nearly blinded me.

I love break jobs and I miss it. I can watch breaks every day and shocks change

Diff posi-locker switch can be made with crunchy plastic. I’ve seen them broken where the spring loaded detent no longer hold.

"What a difference a Dave makes." That ought to go on a T-shirt.

[@FenrirYT13]

I remember I had a Honda hatch I just got new tires from Firestone that day driving home from getting my tires. My 2 front tires middle thread came off the brand new tires lol clean cut almost looking

[@andrewcottrill3248]

Hey Ray... Timeline 31:26 when your tightening the diff cover. The brake line to the right of the diff (just in shot) looks like it's about to pop just like the other side did. It might just be dirt as it's hard to tell on the video, but just thought I would mention it. Cheers Ray - keep up the good work...

[@404notfound.....]

All we run is amsoil "Signature series" engine transmission/transfer case/ axle. Excellent products!! Great video Ray!!

[@cma8165]

At 30:15 of the video you mentioned the corroded ID Tag. FYI, if the tag ses 3L73, it would mean that it left the factory with a 3.73:1 Locking Rear End ratio.

[@fleece192]

Good one Ray. It’s cool to see you guys working together. Those tires are crazy . Back in the day the I never used gloves in the washing. You just clean your hands in the clean nozzle fluid. But it did dry crack my hands. A little jergines lotion fixed that..

[@jerebigler7520]

Good help, like Dave, is difficult to find. AND, he reminds me of the actor from yesteryear, Rory Calhoun. You guys make an incredible team. Thanks for sharing.
