11:45 kingpin axle build start.
He said he wanted to "focus on the tech", but he didn't go into much depth on how you would find correct pinion depth via gear mesh paint. He just said "looks good to me" instead of how Ian used to go all through the "tech" of how the pattern was supposed to look and why each axle is set up differently and how to tell where your pinion shims should be if you get a housing that is bare and you don't know how it came
I have a old Nissan Hardbody (d21) love my trucky. It was my father-in-laws truck and my wife remembers when he first got it. One of her oldest memories and going out on the old boat too. I have restored the boat, motor and gave it tastefully updates and modification. They both love the boat which is great. The truck is next. We all want it 4x4 and I love our Jeep's solid axles and I'm planning on swapping the hardbody over and doing a 4.8L 'LS swap' and keeping it stock because that V8 power will be enough for that truck. Watching y'all do this make me want to do it more pulling the 350,000 mile motor out and restomod my trucky. I think the hardbody need a bed liner body to give it the full package of hard steel body with the bed liner. It might get a 4 speed auto but I love rowing the 5 speed in it. Then again time and money is all that's holding me back now...
Kinda miss the ol detroit muscle tho especially that caddy hearse project, i wonder how it'll end
seems like every time I tune into this channel there's a new show and/or new hosts, which all sound the same. miss old days of Trucks, Horsepower and Extreme 4x4.
I love suburbans and this one is awesome thank you for sharing
squarebodies for the win!
When did they hire Otto from The Simpsons?
My name is Otto. I love to get blotto.
I literally lol at your comment, sir. Have a wonderful day.
harsh toke dude
found this show on- off the air Digital TV in Wisconsin and this a great treat on Sunday afternoons !
Can’t wait for more episodes
Looks like your several hundred foot pounds short of 600 on the king pins there
Just curious why they always say pound feet when for years I've always known it as foot pounds when torquing
Don’t matter, same thing different arrangement of words, all on personal preference, kinda like how one will say 60 foot and another will say 60 feet, mean same thing just sound a wee different
@@peter2213 Could be a dialect thing where they find it easier to say pound feet. I say either way depending on what I'm doing and how I'm explaining it. It means the same thing so I myself don't really don't care.
Thank you for clearing that up gentleman. Have a fantastic day and be safe out there in these crazy times we're living in.
@@peter2213 When used as an adjective, "foot" is used rather than "feet"
They usually differentiate torquing bolts as pound feet and engine torque as foot pounds.
Really enjoyed!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Never throw away old metal” as they lay half a sheet of diamond plate on the plasma.. who scripts this?
this was right on time as I am currently building a Dana 60 for a 70 Roadrunner.
Sweet
Looks like the tire swing pivot will keep the back door from opening.
Some of these "fab" guys.
Yep! Looks like the plan on using the right side barn door.
"Why?"..."just why?"🤦
Perhaps to not cover the taillight...who knows.
It's coming awesome footage and Build wow 👍👍🇺🇲
Send it my way!!
The Vermonter
You boys got some skill sets +1
Awesome build but.... Those tires make it look like it missed leg day.
True bros always skip leg day.
@@bmstylee 😂
True but they do fit properly at least. Some just put too big a tire and it's good for height but sucks everywhere else.
@@CanadaBud23 If you're not cutting fenders on a built 4x4, the tires aren't big enough.
That front bumper is massive.
Looking forward to seeing the suspension go together.
Nice work guys... love that 'burb.
Powernation let’s do it.
Sister show 🤣🤣👌 you definitely hit that one on the head
Really enjoy the new shop and show. Kinda miss the old ones though.
I wonder if they are going to come back to this build. This is similar to what Im doing with my 01 yukon XL
"All you have to do is plug it in and talk about all our sponsors while we don't tell you anything about what we are doing at all."
He made the pinion adjustment look so easy, lol
Seeing the brush guard, I would have went with slat-style guard, like the CUCV had.
They work, look good, and you can add metal lattice to protect the lights from rocks.
Beautiful truck
Makes me miss my 89 Suburban
7:17 - At what point do you cross the line of personal use and into professional/needing to buy a licence for Fusion 360? Looking at the workshops, tooling, production crew and CZcams channel I would have guessed that would be classed as professional use, or is it more for a factory where you would have to buy a Fusion 360 licence?
I wonder if Marc Christ does anything special for Easter, in honour of his 25X great grandpa
I think it might need more lights up front. 12 (including the headlights) just isn't enough.
I doubt my question will get answered but how much do you think that whole rebuild kit and upgrades cost? 2k, 5k?
hi sir how come you never show and finished hearst ive been waiting 2 weeks in canada ont . really like that sar thanks so much ..... fraser
I want them bumpers for my suburban now
You had a bigger welder at the very beginning or them guys at the very beginning in the back of the truck what was that Forney
I work for Dana Incorporated in Indiana.
What brand cut-off wheels are you using does anybody know
It's officially Sunday morning now
This is the best build you’ve ever done. Built Suburban’s freakin rule!! Nothing checks off as many boxes for the Outdoorsmen as a bulletproof Burb!! This rig would be awesome for camp/hunting Grizzly bears. Is it for sale?
Oh yea, bear or moose.
These surburbans are huge for an off-roading rig you could use it as a mini camper
Lol we love square bodys watched you guys destroy a square body last season
So which D60 is the most inexpensive to rebuild ( assuming all parts replaced are identical across all axles ) ?
Balljoint 60 out of a ford is probably cheapest just because kingpins are expensive to rebuild and upgrade.
Well Done Guys............!!! ;-)))
What brand is your swing away kit for the spare tire that you used? Because I found one but yours looks more heavier duty than what I got.
Put this show back on, who doesn't love this show, i rather watch this , than crap on TV now.
When is the new episode going to be released been checking every day since this episode
Didn’t hear anything on brake rotors looked like you put the stock size back on ?
I have to admit Powernation, THAT Dana 60 front end(a.k.a. 3rd member) IS one STRONG front Axle assembly .....Yes SIR! THUMBS UP! My Son's 06 GMC Duramax's rear 4:10 14 bolt Posi rear Diff IS an STRONG mother F'er also, just sayin Damn, are those NP263XHD & Allison 1000 trans SPENDY too overhaul,even if you do it yourself, just sayin.
"unbreakable". Goes with 35 spline shafts, spring caps, and lock outs 😘.
Jk sweet build.
That's a freakin job right there
The fluid in the Dana 60 looks good, but that doesn't matter. Where going to replace EVERYTHING!!!
Can yall work on my 1987 suburban 1ton diesel same as the 91 just diesel?????? Please!!!!!
Darn I’m late to the video, I’ve got a suburban project of my own currently and it has a huge wiring mess right now and clutch is all wack, I am picking up 1 ton axles from a buddy of my dads who was as a monster driver/ mud truck racing driver.
I would have left the dust shield off. I have had them get bent up into the rotors on the trail before and you have to either pry them away or listen to the most awful screeching you have ever heard.
do they know that they can take the knuckle off with out taking the upper kingpin out
How much does that mugg weigh?
Back when I had my shop, we would save money on Propane, and or Acetylene. We would use dry ice that we would purchase from Abbot Gas.
Dry ice?
For what, the ring gear interference?
Same ole same ole.
These guys love square tubing lol, nothing wrong with that though.
Any plans to build a diesel powered cab-over?
Dumpster body will always let you down...
Great build so far. My only thing is as big as that thing is the wheel and tire combo looks like something on a mud bogger. Way to skinny
basically said all dana 60 axles are the same across the board on ford,dodge,etc, but he failed to mention they are not the same some are low pinion, some are driver side drop
No carrier bearing preload?
I was thinking the same thing. No way that carrier has enough preload on it with just prying it over with a small prybar and dropping shims in.
@@rennat_2006 Not even close.I have a case spreader for my dana 60 and 70 axles I set up. Another point, the pattern on the ring and pinion will go to shit under a load.
Not to mention you don't just jam shims behind the races, sides are shimmed behind the bearing on Dana 60
Plus, no need to remove upper kingpins to get knuckle off.
Is that a ford or gm front axle?
Looks like Chevy to me...Low pinion, passenger side drop, kingpin.
I was into it all the way up until Mr. Guy pointed to the 14in coilovers and said they were for the front
👍
I wish i had this type of money to throw at my suburban too
How much $ do they have in that D60 build?
From a quick search in my area from $600-$1600 for a complete axle. This is before you rebuild and upgrade. The locker is $1000 alone. The price isn't the issue for most folks. Most don't have the skill to do it.
@@bmstylee Sounds about right, when I get my rear end rebuilt with a higher gear ratio and a posi, I'll buy all the parts but I'm gonna have a machine shop in my area do it.
@@blueeyeswhiteguy3399 sometimes is better to swallow the ego and pay someone to build it instead of destroying a lot of expensive parts. Or get something that comes in a crate. What's it going in?
@@bmstylee My 85 camaro. The entire vehicle is still stock but I have plans for an ls3 swap, 6 speed manual, and 3.73 posi gear in the rear.
@@blueeyeswhiteguy3399 cool setup. Just don't tell the comment section you're ls swapping it. They'll call you all sorts of names because engines that perform poorer are better because it's not a lame ls.
Wish I could build my 02 Tahoe but just don't have the money to
Aint no way he torqued that upper king pin to 500-600 ft-lbs!

This is by far my favorite show on Powernation but, why did they have to get the guys from Carcass to help them? I absolutely hate that show and hope they take it off.
I hope they don't. That show rubs a lot of people the wrong way and I love it! :)
Who else was going to help? Pat from EP isn't a hardcore off road guy, what's his name from truck tech is kinda lost without LT
I don't mind Carcass too much, when it first started I didn't like it and hate how they butchered the 25th anniversary 3rd gen they had on there but it's starting to grow on me a bit with the tow truck and mail jeep they got.
I would have really liked to see a Cummins 12V swapped into this rig , that would really make it unbreakable .
12vs break down just like any engine, nothing wrong with using different engines
@@benjamins9121 12v Cummins is a million mile engine , can’t say that about a 383 stroker .
@@larrywoolford8978 Most dont make it that far. You can replace that 383 2 or 3 times for the same price a a junkyard 12v anyways. Have you ever built an engine before? Is that why you blindly believe the 12v to be the best engine for everything?
@@benjamins9121 Yes , as a matter of fact I’ve built both diesel and gas engines . And it a plain fact that a Diesel engine has better reliability and longevity than a gas engine and they get way better mileage ,which is pretty important in an off road vehicle . This video series is about building a bullet proof 4x4 ,so why are they not building a truly bullet proof engine and transmission combo to go with their big buck Dana 60 axles ? It obvious from the shop set up they aren’t short on cash by any stretch of the imagination.
Unbreakable😂 I broke mine 3 times in 6 months… all it takes is stickies and a supercharger
3rd
No bronze kingpin bushings or spring eliminators, and heating up the C's on the axle is a big no no.
To bad they are probably going to ruin the brand new seals when they weld the truss and suspension on.
What kind of locker was that? Was that a Detroit Locker?
I've always heard not to put a locker in a front differential, but with locking hubs as well, it should be okay since the hubs spin free when not locked in. Unlocked hubs and the transfer case in 2H should mean the differential isn't moving at all... right right?
Yeah. If the front diff isn't engaged it just spins like it's in neutral.
The pumpkin is on the wrong side.
Wait...didn't put a 454 in it? Sacrilege! lol
Brandon must be Stacey David's long lost son.
That one farcase guy needs to say goodbye...he's such a hack!
Definitely need new tires
... not the plasma table again ...
“Cast iron diff cover” Cast iron would be a horrible material for a diff cover. One good smack and it would crack in half.
I love the show...but youtube is bombarding you guys with ads...4:18secs in & already 2 ad disruptions, this is getting out of hand. still love the show tho guys!
You guys really need to consider wearing gloves. Yea, I know they are a pain to use and keep up with But: they do help to keep hand injuries down!
Hands are the most injured body parts we have. I not trying to be a dip but if you guys will start using, maybe the younger viewers will learn to wear them too! You may even get viewers your/ our age groups will admit that you’re right to use your gloves. Remember, PPE is the last safety process that we have at our disposal.
Where's Tommy?
All this and no 12 valve swap
Wand?......you mean mig gun?
Would have been nice if you showed the installation and orientation of all the seals and spacers
😎👍👌🖖✌😁
Brandon, Fairy Godmothers which, you are not, use “Wands” Fabricators use a MiG gun or more correctly a MiG Welding Torch. It’s OK, Masculine Toxicity is welcome here😝
Good job showing how not to rebuild a Dana 60
Putting a 383 in it, really? Those thing break break.
How so?
How come?
Its not a king pin axle.
