    I had Ford replace both my diff fluids (and every other fluid) at 30,000 miles to give it a flush after a good break in period. Then I replaced the fluids with Amsoil another 30,000 miles after that. 13 years of pulling a trailer later my diffs are still as quiet as the day they were new. I don’t know if that’s due to the maintenance but it certainly didn’t hurt it any, I’m happy spending a few bucks keeping fluids changed rather than paying for untimely repairs later.

    • @romainberger
      @romainberger Před rokem +16

      Unfortunately it isn't a maintenance issue, most technicians are undertrained in differential/pinion preload. It's really a big deal! You can find some very interesting stories about brand new vehicles (out of the factories) with mysterious unsolvable noise from the rear axle...
      The rotational torque of that pinion gear has to be around 20in/lbs for a brand new arrangement, less than that it's noisy or could be misaligned under load resulting what we see on the video, more than that you significantly reduce the bearing lifespan.
      Look that up it's good stuff if you're interested.

      @@romainberger This was totally a maintenance issue. The pinion bearing was pitted from rust. The bearing was not fatiguing from too much pressure and flaking off. The fluid had moisture and/or the truck (still has a new smell) sits and had condensate that pitted out the bearing. Fluid changes at 10, 30, and 60k would have prevented this repair.

    You are amazing Brian. I had a 78 Mustang Cobra (cough Pinto) years ago that developed a brg noise. After a week or so of using all the clues I could get I thought it has to be the rear output brg in the trans so I went and bought a new one before I even pulled the trans. Sure enough there were visible rough spots in the outer race. Changed it put it all back together and all was good.
    My next door neighbor at the time was a metallurgist at Chrysler's headquarters and ask me to give him the brg to analyze. A few days later he brought me a piece of the brg embedded in sort of plastic where they had highly polished a cross sectional cut of it. He said they had looked at it under high magnification (maybe electron microscope) and decided that there had been contaminates in the steel when the brg was made. I wonder why they don't put a magnet in differentials like they do in transmissions and other things.
    Oh how I wish I was young again.

    My brother lives on the east coast. He took his truck('17 F150 w/80k miles) to several dealers and they all told him his trans was going out. All with hefty fix cost. It had the so-called dreaded trans hone. He had to come to okla to get his trailer/car. He said he thought he was going to break down before he got here. I took a ride and within 1/2 mile I told him it wasn't his trans. It was his axle. He looked at me dumbfounded. He borrowed a vehicle and left his here for me to fix.
    I pulled it apart. All carrier and pinion bearings were ate up. A lot worse than the one in your video. The hard part was finding a bearing kit for the super 8.8. Oreillys, advance, autozone didn't have anything to fit it. I literally ordered every kit listed for several years, axle sizes, engine sizes, etc and no luck. The pdc told me the bearings were back ordered.
    I ended up buying a set from national drivetrain out of all places on ebay, (83-1047-1) which ended up being a Richmond set for $219.52. I just wonder why no one could look up the part number. Even summit & jegs(at the time) didn't show the number on the box.
    I finally got the bearings all installed. The Richmond set had the original koyo bearings in it, so every spacer was right on. The crush sleeve was the headache. It didn't matter what I did, it wouldn't crush. 3/4" 4ft bar with yoke lock wouldn't crush it down. 1200 lbft impact no luck. Nothing I tried worked. I took it apart a couple times to make sure everything was in correctly. I know it's not right, but I had to disassemble and install the original crush sleeve. It went right in and I tightened it up till it had the correct drag. No slack and seemed to work fine.
    Got it back together and works like a charm. I've been driving it for a few weeks now and the only thing I notice is the gears are whining a little right between drive and coast. So little I'm the only one that hears it. I'm assuming since he drove it so long, many thousands of miles with the bearings tore up that it wore the gears and the only way to fix it is replace them. I'm not an axle expert but I've prob did a couple dozen in my time. He's def glad it was under $300 to do the bearings with oil and not the over $4k the dealer was quoting for a trans.
    I wanted to mention also that he hauls a ton of weight. He maxes out the rated capacity with his huge rv. He has airbags that get 85psi to support the rear and weight distributing equipment. He should've got a gooseneck and not a bumper pull. But he carries his dirt bikes in the bed. And if he didn't have a lead foot, it would prob help.

    Again Good info Brian.
    Took my 06 F150 Lariat 5.4 2 WD to a independent shop for whining/roaring you so accurately described. I'm anticipating the bearings you described to need replacing. Ford dealers estimate was $3850 which includes ring gear I think. Wish I could figure a way to send you a copy of the estimate. I spoke to you few days ago about another issue. The 45 mph low rpm up hill climb producing misfiring under load. The independent shop going to replace all 8 plugs with Motorcraft plugs and test coil resistance. Intake cleaner run thru and drive hot
    1400 to 1600 for differential rebuild provided gears are ok
    500 to 600 for R/R 8 MOTORCRAFT PLUGS , test coils and intake cleaner. Provided nothing crazy occurs. He said he has good luck with the intake cleaner and driving hot before plug replacement reducing chances of plugs breaking.
    So
    1600 + 600= $2200 provided gears ok
    Praying for good success by next week. Lol

I was surprised how dark the fluid was, though it was not burnt, it felt thick and didn’t have a good smell to it. Used a good quality trans fluid and nothing else. Car shifts smoothly now up and down. I’ll probably do this every 25,000 miles from now on. In contrast, the engine oil was very clean, had good body and smell.

Eventually I ended up in Junction City, KS for a few weeks and took it to the Ford dealer there. They immediately called me about the horrific prehistoric monster noise it was making...I explained that yes, that is what I was needing addressed. They were amazed that anyone would say there was no problem...there was extreme damage to the gears, races and bearings...it was a $3,000 repair. Now this summer the noise is starting again.

    Another great video, Brian. Thanks for it. I had an 03 Town Car with a rumbling noise and I thought it was badly worn tires. Well, after installing a new set of tires, the sound didn't change at all! Took out the axles, as there was an issue with improper hardening of the axle surfaces and sure enough, the surface looked like this one. All flaking off. New axles and bearings later and the noise went away completely. Apparently, the hardening process was done incorrectly, or the metal itself was bad.

      What did your noise sound like? I’m considering buying a car that might have this issue but I’m scared the whole rear is bad as opposed to just an axle bearing (seems too easy 😅)

    I bought a very-very used 2001 F150 265k because I knew Brian would have a repair/advise for every prob these trucks have. So far, things are getting repaired before anything goes boom. Right now I'm trying to find the source of a whine noise HW driving also a grumble grumble when turning from a stop.

    I have been seeing failures like this recently on the newer 12th and 13th generation f150’s. 99% of the failures I’ve seen have all recently had their differential fluid changed. Now I cannot confirm if they are putting in the wrong weight oil, but I never seem to see failures with people who don’t service their differentials. I’m no saying don’t change your diff fluid, but I’ve seen trucks with well over 200k miles on the differential and requested a differential fluid change and all the bearings looked amazing.

  • @anthonypirrone1958
    @anthonypirrone1958 Před rokem

    It makes sense for the bearing race to have heavy wear in one corner. The gear mesh will load the bearing more in a particular spot due to the separation force of the gear mesh.

  • @williamchristenbury1774
    @williamchristenbury1774 Před rokem +11

    That really looks like it was a bad bearing from the bearing factory...or the diff got moisture in the case and wasn't driven for a while. Either way, great video...as always.

    On my 95 F150.. the carrier actually cracked all the way across one half side-- (and I mean completely broken into two pieces and separated.. Somehow it still held together and drove, but it was talking like pac-man and popping and chattering like crazy under load around corners. I just swapped my ring gear onto another cheap used carrier and used the same shims and it worked out great. That truck went to 320k miles, and then it finally spun a bearing. It was a long bed/ extended cab 5spd manual, but with only the 302 engine-- so it was too much truck for such a small engine; and I towed a lot with it. Was still a monster in 4 LOW though.

    I had a brand new 1998 F-150 with a whining sound from the rear axle. For some reason the noise occurred at about 30 mph and then again at 70 mph. The dealer adjusted the tolerances in the differential, which did not correct the problem. Then they replaced the entire rear axle with a new one from the factory. This did not correct the problem either and they said it might be a design or manufacturing issue. The dealer gave me an extended warranty on the axle. The noise gradually went away, and I traded it at 43,000 miles.

    I wish I lived near your shop. My 05 F 150 with 190k miles (maintained by the book by the dealer, looks like new) had a slight pinion seal drip. Brought it to the dealer - diff fluid was still close to full. The dealer replaced the pinion seal. It seemed to have a very very slight whine, and within 1,000 miles of the repair, the diff is roaring. They have told me that my differential must have already been going out, but, I am betting they did the work wrong. It upsets me becase it was silent prior to this repair and was just as quiet as when it was a new. truck.

    In which order of operation should I start with? Mazda B3000 diff sounds noisy, and there is visible signs of pinion seal leaking.
    1. Pinion seal change
    2. Pinion bearing inspect
    3. Carrier bearing inspect
    4 Inner pinion bearing inspect
    5. Entire diff gear oil change with reassembly

  • @siskiyouwoodsmann4279

    Looking at the front pinion race and roller wear, I would suspect an out of round bore more tan anything else as the rear pinion race and roller appeared normal for the mileage. Always enjoy your videos very much!

    • @Khlandestine
      @Khlandestine Před rokem

      Your saying the pinion bearing wasn’t the main thing causing the noise??

    • @siskiyouwoodsmann4279
      @siskiyouwoodsmann4279 Před rokem +1

      @@Khlandestine I should have been more explicit as I reread my comment and see what you’re saying. The front pinion bearing was definitely making the rumbling noise imo, but the slight howling noise was coming from the slight loss of proper pinion/ring gear alignment because the front pinion bearing and race were excessively loose allowing the misalignment of the pinion and ring gear thus the noise. I also thought (from what I could see in the video) that the pattern on the ring gear was nice and smooth, but you can see the pattern was from the toe all the way to the heal of the teeth and a proper pattern would be from the toe 2/3’s to 3/4’ of a contact pattern up the teeth starting at the toe unless it had extreme mileage and it looked like a newer truck. My wife’s suv did this exact same thing and we were the original owners. When I tore it down it took me awhile to figure it out. Front pinion bearing looked like this one for no apparent reason until I measured the race bore with a micrometer and found to be .005” out of round. Took 60,000 miles to rear it’s ugly head. Also on inspection of the carrier housing, you could see a definite scar indicating it was probably dropped sometime during the assembly process. The front bearing is furthest away from the pinion gear so any slight movement (torque) will cause misalignment between the to gears thus the slight howling noise along with the growl sound. Sorry to be so wordy and it’s just my opinion from my personal experience and being a mechanic by trade for 45 years +. P.S. if you read my entire comment sir, you’re a very patient person.

    I have a 1998 Silverado that I bought new and at around 55,000 miles, I started to hear what I thought was some rear end noise. At around 75,000 miles it was really loud so I took it in and the pinion and carrier bearings were shot. I had replaced the diff fluid at 30,000 with Mobil 1 synthetic gear lube. The shop told me to not use synthetic in that rear end and I'm now at 142,000 miles with no noise. He used conventional fluid in it.
    I had hardly ever hauled or towed anything with this truck and was surprised that I had problems that early.
    I replaced the fluid in the rear of my 14 Musang GT at around 3,500 miles when I installed the Ford Racing aluminum diff cover and that fluid was totally nasty. Grey with tons of metal particles from what I assume was break in. I'm at 34,000 miles now and may replace it again in a few thousand miles.

    Speaking of differentials, the spider gears in my 8.8 wore out and they were specific for the Marauder and no one stocked them. Therefore, I went with the Eaton Tru Track . Eaton recommends 80/90W non-synthetic gear oil. The odometer read 189k. I'm not a believer in full synthetic oils. Synthetic blends or conventional for my vehicles.
