- Complete gear and locker install! Today on Dirt Lifestyle, we will install a 5.38 ring and pinion into my Super Duty Dana 60. There are many ways to do this Job and in this video I will show you how I do it. We will be using a mix of professional grade tools as well as some cheaper alternatives. Installing gears and lockers doesn't require a college degree but a very clear understanding of the relationships between these parts is crucial. Do your research and compare the pros/cons of hiring a professional vs attempting to do this yourself. I'm not a pro and I wouldn't perform this install for customers due to the complexity of the job. Look at this video as a good starting point for your education on this subject but don't look at this as a set by step guide. A complete install guide is not my intention for this video. This video, like all of my videos is info-tainment. Proceed with caution. That said, I really hope you enjoy watching!
Stay creative and build cool stuff!

The group is awesome!
In the 15 years of being a differential mechanic at yukon , I have seen so many how to videos that I couldn't stand to even finish. Nate killed it on this one. Many 👍👍👍👍
Thanks man!
He really did!
Great work Nate!
Perfect work . I was always told " It never pays to be a perfectionist " Glad I never listened to the crowd. Could not be better , thank you
We done hundreds of regears at the shop and we did it exactly like you're doing. No need for over the top fancy tools and dummy bearings are a life saver. We had them for every axle out there you can think of.
That’s how I do them at the dealer.
You did a fine job. Especially the emphasis on just how many times you end up playing musical chairs with shimming.
I like the calming smooth jazz music. A good contrast to one of the most frustrating jobs on a vehicle
Lots of videos on this and lots of guides online. But Nate makes the best shot and edited videos. Couldn't ask for a clearer description of doing a dana axle.
Thank you very much 👍
“Backlash” in the comments. I see what you did there...
Lol
I was going to comment the same thing until I saw your comment.
My mechanic thanks you for this video, because I no longer feel the need to question the bill when I have him do it. LOL
Seriously, that is how I mod my FJ Cruiser. I give it a go myself, then when something goes wrong I take it down to my mechanic and have him finish it. Like I started to install my own lift kit, stripped a nut. I knew how to get it out, etc, but decided I had better things to do. Took it down to him, and picked it up the next day. luckily my mechanic is also a good family friend, so no price gouging or backing his work. Sometimes I just want a drive my 4x4, and let someone else skin their knuckles.
I doubt I will ever fit a locker or new gear set...but watching your videos, Nate...I learn something new and usuable very time. Fabrication and engineering is gradually sinking into my mind...wish I was 15/16 years old again...I would do that shi7!!
Perfecto!! and the Yukon installation manual is the bible for installing r&p gears.
Only thing i would suggest is wrapping a shop rag around the pinion yoke to act as an "brake" when your checking backlash and the pattern and rotate the gear through the marking paint 2-3 times in the same direction using only your hand on the ring and the shop rag looped around and twisted up on the yoke in your other hand, it makes a huge difference in the clarity of the pattern your trying to read.
I.e. 2 to 3 revolutions through the paint to check drive side and 2-3 to check coast side, w/the shop rag on it.
I think you did a great job explaining this topic and letting people know what tools ya need and what ya don't.
Cool show👍thumbs!!
I got lucky when I did mine. Took like 5 tries and so far so good after a few thousand miles!
Thanks so much for this video. I’ve scoured CZcams for content like this and only have found a few videos that explain this well. Everything in this was great and I hope others also find it inspiring as DIYers. Don’t let the haters get ya down. Great vid.
Thanks brother 🤘
One of the best dif videos I have seen. Great job!
Best video I have ever seen on YT. I got into an argument with an "expert" when I asked about checking backlash. He said "NO the dye will tell you that".
The only thing I have a problem with here is a failure to mention the pinion markings. At least when I did it, the head, ring side, of the pinion was marked. It could be marked +5 or -5 or something else. This would tell you how much you should move the shims from front to rear or vice versa. Other than that, great video.
Awesome video man thank you I will leave this to the professionals
Probably the best ring and pinion video iv seen!
Looks like a real quality job, tbh I’ve always just bolted it all together and made sure it was close enough. It’s always worked.
Ive done ring and pinion in everyone of my tail toys and I always swear I'll never do it again, however *knock on wood*, they've always held true and I literally just throw some shims and tighten everything with an impact lol. (Not street driven often or far, and typically not expensive parts)
Great vid Nate. Gearing is still one thing I won't touch! You make it look easy!
The ball at 10:38 seals the end of the hole drilled to act as the air passage between the seal housing and the locking piston.
Awesome video, that axle is gonna be stout! I definitely hit the 👍"s up 🤙
Excellent drawings as always.
Hey Nate that little ball in the side of the carrier is a "lead" seal because sadly humans can't drill 90° holes I in one shot yet. The air need to get inside to the locker actuator. Excellent video sir thanks.
Thanks... This gave me an idea of what it takes to change the gearing, techniques and tools
Great video. This is truly a lost art
Just what I needed before I start my build
Excellent video, explained very well, I definitely understand gearing more than what I did when I pushed play : )
Great video. I went through a class years ago at UTI but forgot most of it. Also need shirts that say Dirt Lifestyle "Fer Shur"
Great vid, thank you!👍🏻
I will definitely be sharing this directly to several people.
Great thank you!
Great topic! And always an amazing video! Keep them coming 👊👊👊
Take some tubing and a washer and a nut, and make a spacer to replace the factory yoke. Works great, no pounding on the yoke and will speed up the pinion setup. You do everything like I do it. Have a bucket full of old bearing races for the press.
You did great. Great explanation and video as always. I did my toyota. Took me a few tries. Forgetting spacers, wrong directions when I did shim it, munched a set of bearings had to buy new ones...... ya probably should have paid someone to do it but by gosh I got her done eventually. Still driving around no banging clanking or whining. Must of got something right finally.
this helps me understand the axle and how everything works. thank you for a detailed video
Great job Nate!
Well put together video. Can’t wait to see the disco out on the trails again .
Thanks man! Me too 👊
When we did my 97 Ford HP 60 a few months ago, we didn't realize you needed a reverse thick ring and pinion kit and a small carrier Zip locker... So mine is still waiting on the new locker until I can sell the large carrier Zip locker. Great video.
Built a few motors and want to now try an axle for my 85 ram charger. Seems more complicated for some reason. Joined the FB DiRT BAG MAFIA. Thanks for the great video!
Like your music on this video. also content .
Love this stuff 👍 I have Zuk's site pulled up on my home page and love seeing a blue link every now and then when he's got a new install posted 😀
Good information Nate. Good video
Excellent video. Thank you Nate! Learned a few things. Not that I'm about to do this but after watching this video I would feel comfortable taking on the project
You rolled ring back around an I’m like “wow that’s damn near perfect “
Thank you!!! So much great info. I’m ready to do mine now.
I did the gears on my Toyota pickup and also used the dummy bearing system. Worked great for my setup.
Good job Nate. Gears arent complicated if you understand the basic principles of it. They biggest thing i think is this. It's either right or not. Gears dont last being close enough.
Awesome video, need to tighten up my clunky factory rear locker, still putting it off, but now have a way better idea of what's involved. Thanks Nate
Another great video Nate.
Thank you! You explained the things I wasn’t quite sure about perfectly. This video makes me way more confident as I’m a perfectionist myself which prevents me from trying things I’m not 100% sure about. So again THANK YOU!
No problem! Thanks for watching!
Cool, best video I’ve seen on this. Thanks!
Nice work Nate. I've always thought gear installs was a dark art. Not now!
Thanks!
Nice install!!!! Love to get freshed up how to do it! :)
Great video Nate. Thanks for taking the time to do it!!
Excellent video and explanation if the parts and assembly. learned a ton from this! Thank you for listening to us!
Best video with awesome editing and explanation. Wish this was made when I did a rear axle on a toyota two years ago. It took about 50 tries to get the beSt pattern on this nitro gears (4.88) that had run many K on a totaly worn out pinion bearing.
The local dealer had made a fix with a new outer seal. 🙈🔨
We should have bought a new set og gears but no mire money as the car was just bought dome weeks ago second hand.
Our problem was that the bad bearing had made uneven wear ob the different tooths so we had to much runout.
But Im confident after 50 tries adleast that we made it as good as possible.
Any tips on videos or good info on gear set up on used gears bit with new bearings eould be great as the pattern and everythibg is different when using the old gears that had been mating over years✌️
Love your channel and farout the best at all you do and very easy language in the terms of the way you speak.
All the best to you and your family from way up norh in Norway
67°North above the ArcticCircle 👊
Thank you! I bet wheeling in Norway is awesome!
Love these videos. Learning so much more about the understanding of how all the parts mesh together and learning what one can do with a few tools.
I forgot, good job, you covered the install well.
Great video definitely makes me feel better about when I go to do mine
Great video. I always feel smarter after your videos.
Thanks man!
Most excellent video, never thought of making my own setup bearings from the old unit. Keep these great vids coming.
I put an eaton e locker in my wife's JKU front d30. The carrier bearings are a different size than the o.e. carrier. I had to get creative to press the bearings on. I wish I would have thought about using the press to hold the carrier when I did the ring bolts. That would have made life easier. Oh well, live and learn. I need to get one of those inner axle seal installers now also. That thing looks slick.
LOVE the detail you gave on this video! We need more guys doing videos like this!
Video helped clarify a few things I missed when I regeared my SD60. Checking the pinion depth from the shoulder to the bearing with calipers was a good tip!
Really great info Nate!! Thank you!!!
Thanks Nate. You are a wealth of knowledge
Your knowledge and presentation are on point! For this, I'm a new subscriber. Thanks!
Thank you! Welcome aboard!
Excellent video
Well done! I’m probably not going to attempt this for my DD just yet, but I am going to pick up a JY axle to practice with. This is something I have really wanted to learn since the first time I had a shop regear an old xj back in the late 90’s. (They screwed the pooch a lot of whine) Thank you for this, your ocd/perfectionistism helps everyone.
I have watched a TON of ring and pinion install videos. This is by far the best I have watched. Great content Nate!
Thanks man!
Dang that D60 looks sexy all wrapped up! Can’t wait to see it under the disco!
Thanks for the video
Well damn, gotta redo my rear axle, blew out my chrysler 8.25 rear on my xj back in March, I've been researching and reading instructional PDFs and stuff and watching your video made me realise I muffed up on the shims to my pinion, and I have a ton of extra bearings and crush sleeves so I think watching this helped me gauge what I did wrong extremely well. And I appreciate every minute of the video dude!
I'm happy to help! Good luck!
So what's the upgrade axle? 9.25 from a second generation Durango might be close to bolt in 😉
I'd love to upgrade the full axle, but I opted for the ring and pinion swap. From 3:73 to 4:88. I'm rolling 37" x 12.5" x 16. And they don't move much in that ratio compared to how some of my group Xjs just troll through pits. Haha. Love the content. Best 4x4, overland, jeep channel. Personally I like your content better then the rest man.
Man this really motivates me to do my own gear install again but on my jeep JTR cause i did it on my jk a few years back and ran it for 2 years with no problem......but its gone cause i rolled it but luckily i had a cage and harnesses and what not but i now got the gladiator wich is my daily 😇
Thanks Nate great video
Thanks for making this video Nate. Highly informative. Also loving the FB group!!!
Nice job Nate. I remember my first gear swap many moons ago...before CZcams...took me three long days, I used Yukon Gear installation instructions and a VHS tape from Richmond Gear. Since then I've done many more. Doesn't take nearly as long now. Recently did Yukon Grizzly Locker (rear) and Yukon Zip Locker (front) on my buddies Scout.
Great job. I learned to do this the hard way. Would have loved this info years ago.
Excellent video and explanation!
Thank you Nate,
You're build videos are the best, thanks for the inspiration.
Much appreciated!
As always awesome video.
I can safely say that I’ve watched every R&P setup video on CZcams and this is by far the best I’ve seen. Only thing I’ll add in my experience with HP 60s is that you HAVE to use the oem ford 2 piece inner axle seals from the newer 05+ super 60 axles. (P# Qu20463) it’s a far superior seal, and can be used in the older housings with the correct installer. I also like to use the newer outer tube dust seals
(P#18248-05347702) and turn them down on the lathe and then silicone them into the recess in the housing. Keeps all of the dust and water out of the axle tubes and I think probably cuts down on premature seal failure.
Much appreciated!
I'm building a jeep, have watch a guy put in gears while working in his shop, and I learned more here than I have before. I have also watched every video I can find. But, when it comes to my DD, ill prolly have someone do it for me. I just don't trust my self with precision.
Nice job Nate!
That was an excellent video. Fully met my expectation.
Super cool video, not sure if I would ever want to do gears myself but it is nice to see what goes into it!
Great clear video footage of the tedious process! There is only 2 other full videos on setting Dana 60s on CZcams and a 3rd with new camera angles and tips is 100% awesome.
An inner pinion setup bearing is technically not needed. I made one then realized I never removed it once. Just the inner setup race, and outer setup bearing is all for the pinion 😂
Agree on the puller. I bought one. But a splitter with a press and extra bearing or two you could do without it.
I was a little shocked to see the glue being used at the end. Lube Locker gaskets are like $25 and make fluid replacement and diff cover removal so much easier. Glue was on mine previously and I had to beat the crap out of the cover with a chisel to remove it. Not worth risking a bent cover in my opinion.
Great content as always.
Great video
Great informative video!
That right arm sleeve tattoo needs a hidden Sasquatch running. Also a few GPS coordinates of you favorite places would be sweet
Lol my left arm sleeve has a squatch hiding in the trees and my right arm has the GPS coordinates for moab utah. You almost nailed it!
When I regeared the rear D44 in my XJ, I was laying on my back holding the chunk in place and reaching for my deadblow when my hand slipped, the chunk rolled out and glanced off off of my chin.
Luckily it just barely hit and caused a small cut and I remember thinking to myself, that's why they charge what they do!
Next time the axle is
coming out of the vehicle!
Great content. Nice job on the setup.
A nice little trick to lose the crowbar is to keep your box wrench on a ring bolt and then simply turn the pinion by hand....the gears will force it to walk right out.
That video was awesome. As always man you manage to keep people entertained and you put out insanely good knowledge. Your very down to earth and honest. I’ve been subscribed to your channel for quite a while now and I couldn’t be happier to see when you post up a video. Thanks!
Much appreciated man! Happy to have you along for the ride 👍
Nate,
Thanks again for your commitment to your CZcams Channel, truly appreciate you man! Hope this life decision is working out how you envisioned it both for yourself and your family!
Good video! I think you got everything well covered. As you said, it shows in a good way what its all about setting up a new R&P. I never done a dana axle R&P swap only diffs with 3member on the table
@dirtlifestyle Finally, a well detailed video on this topic , very cool. And very well explained! Thanks buddy cheers!
Thanks!
Great video, Been wanting do a set of axles for myself forever. You made a complicated process possiable
Great stuff man. Lines right up with the rough understanding I had already of how this works. You covered it well enough for me! :D Thanks!
Thanks for watching buddy 👍
@@DirtLifestyle Oh, its kind of a given man.. You release something.. I watch it. You could put together a video of your kids at the park and I'd watch it. :P Keep up the good work, ill keep watching it.
crazy how much thought and art has to go into this stuff, reminds me of my day job doing molecular biology benchwork
