I’m this video I show you how replace a Chevy Silverado ABS reluctor/ tone ring in the rear axle tube. Found on Chevy trucks Tahoe and Suburbans possibly others. It’s not a difficult job if you have some handy tools that makes life a lot easier. If you hear an unexplained grinding noise you can’t seem to find this video may help solve the problem. Abs light on and a sensor change didn’t fix the...

Trout Fishing Hidden Valley Virginia!!Caught My Personal Best!!
I just finished pulling my bearings and saw that plastic thing in there. Had to come here to find out what it was. Thanks so much! My bearings seemed fine so maybe I should change those. New subscriber.
Hope it helped! Thanks for watching and for subscribing!!
It definitely helped! I just ordered everything from Amazon. Identical bearings were half the price of the ones i picked up at the auto parts store today. I'll be saving almost enough in the price difference of the bearings to get the tone rings for free. I'll be returning those overpriced bearings to the auto parts store.
Very good video..thanks for posting.
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching !!
Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for, you explained exactly how this works and how to service it in a real world scenario. I had access to some online repair info (alldata) and it wasn't this clear or simple.
That’s awesome thank you for watching!! I’m glad you liked the video!!
Did it make a grinding noise just going straight or did turning make it worse?
It was grinding pretty much all the time once it started. Didn’t seem to come and go
How did you like the proline? Are you going to make any changes?
Love it! I’m not changing anything really added a water heater and quick disconnects to the fittings but other than that it’s stock
This video makes a lot of sense. It helped on three vehicles i worked on so far
@@LupaSmada that’s awesome! I’m glad this helped you out!
DUUUUUDE!!!!! I have been beating my head against a wall for weeks trying to get a 98 5.7 Vortec timed. I could get it to start and run but I had to have the new distributor advanced as far as it would go. I pulled it today and checked the gear, mine was exactly like yours, 180 off. After spinning it and dropping it back in I got it timed almost perfectly now. Thank you for this video.
I’m glad it helped you out! That’s why I made it!!
Great video. I had the same issue, where you can hear the relay going fast, but no turn signal operating to the left unless you just barely push the stalk down. However, I did try to fix the turn signal module, four years ago with success and recently without. Dirt and metal particles build up on the sliding contacts (for left versus right) inside and the switch shorts out, resulting in the hyper-flash sound. It's not hard to take apart. Remove a dust-cover and two small phillips screws. Clean dirt off contacts and put some new dielectric grease in the tracks. Extracting the turn signal module from the steering column is more challenging than servicing it. One caveat. Both times a plastic slider piece had fallen out as I take it apart. The first time I was upset because I couldn't figure out its proper orientation. Turns out it works both ways. The correct way makes the brights turn on by pushing the stalk away from you. The incorrect way makes the brights turn on (and stay on) if you pull the stalk towards you. The fix worked for four years the first time. But this time I need to buy a new module.
Thank you for watching and sharing your experience!!
Thanks a lot for taking the time to film all of this. I'm sure it was a huge pain already working in the dark and on your driveway much less filming it. I found lots of info on the front but nothing but your video to explain the rear. It seems tone ring failure is not that uncommon in early 2000's Sierra's, Yukon's, and Tahoe's. If you ever do the front, Detroit Axle has a good set of kits to replace the hubs and everything around them. Thanks again.
Your welcome! I’m glad you found the video useful. And yes filming does make everything harder and take longer but I enjoy helping others when I can! Please consider subscribing if you haven’t already and thanks for watching!!
Thanks so much. You save me a lot of time
Glad I could help!!
Were you having trouble with the same belt that you just reconditioned or was it a different pump? I saw how you fixed the seized pieces to the pump in another video. Thanks for sharing your video!
So after I changed the belt and reinstalled the pump, the pump seal was dripping water on the belt pulley when I started running. I didn’t see anything wrong with the seals when I had it apart so I just reused them. After a couple hours of running the seals started to get worse and the belt slipped and I didn’t notice it until it was too late. I talked to prolines owner and he thinks I probably got oil or grease on the seals when I was working on it and those seals cannot have any oils come in contact with them at all, they will leak! So I’ve got new seals and belt on the way! It was a very aggravating learning experience to say the least!!
I’m the one with a different username on the other site. I love dredge videos. I prospect in Dahlonega GA and in SC.
I gotcha thanks for watching!
You don't need an oil and water separator??
No this is an oil free compressor and the air filter I’m using here will separate any water vapor out.
Mine hyper flashes to the right but not to the left... i have checked all the bulbs and wires. Everything seems to work except its flashing too fast. Could it be the same issue?
Yes that’s what this did it would flash normal about twice then started flashing only on some bulbs which caused it to hyper flash like a blown bulb
Great Video.
Did this repair get rid of your noise?
Yes it did and the abs light went out immediately when driving
Guys sing pretty good
We try lol!
I love the southern spirit
Absolutely!! Thanks for watching!!
nice work bro
Thank you!!
Thank You so much for taking the time to make this video. Mist not be a common failure point. Any forum posts i found were inconclusive with the depth to seat, sloppyness of the new part, i thought mine was toast but when i saw your video i realized mine is fine. Thank You for providing clarification
I’m so glad it helped!! That’s the reason why I love making videos like this! If I can help one person out then it’s been a success. Most of these videos help out many people who don’t know how to do the job and if I can make things easier I’m proud!! Thanks for watching and please consider subscribing if you haven’t already!!
New sub. Great dredging video. Heavy Pans!!!
Thank you so much!! There’s more to come soon
Good video! You guys tested a bunch of ground that is for sure. I’m digging your hose mounting brackets that you’ve added to both dredges cool concept. And now I want one of the pro-Mack cleanup sluices lol.
We had a busy week for sure and it absolutely wore us out! The hose mounts were Kevin’s idea and they have worked out great! Makes transporting so much easier. And I can’t find another pro Mack sluice I’ve looked everywhere! That thing is amazing! My homemade version is good but that thing something else!

I’m going to include it on the next video, thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed it!!

Great times indeed fam. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
Just wanna say I am absolutely glad I found your video! I was having the exact same problem tried so many times could not hit the mark. Did what you did and bam first try!! Thanks again

I haven’t went fly fishing for so long! This video has been rethinking how I spend my time
I understand! Get out there and catch some great fish!! Thanks for watching!!
What did you use to get the tone out.. just the regular bearing puller?
Yes just the bearing puller hooked to a slide hammer pops right out
Your awsome bro
Thank you!
Simple green brilliant. Thank you how has it held up
It worked great for short runs mainly 20 minutes at a time. When I tried to run it consistently it had some reed issues. I ended up going to a gas compressor. The video is up on my channel. Hope this helps!!
Hey guys!
I was the gentleman with his wife you talked to. Glad you took my advice to make another video.As always you made another great video. Congrats on that nice fish.
I’m so glad you liked the video and it was a pleasure to meet you and your wife! I’m very happy to meet people that follow me and my channel and have a chance to talk. It definitely gives me motivation to keep up filming my adventures! I hope you and your wife had a great time as well. Thanks for your support!!
Looks like a great time with a couple of great guys. Awesome trout!
Well you know I was in good company! Thanks!
O man! You left that guy Kevin out of the video 😢
Speaking to a 10 Bolt 8.6" in a 2007 Suburban/Yukon, the O.D of the cage for the exciter is 70mm. 2.75Inch = 69.85mm. If you need to drive it in with accuracy and dont want to spend $50+ on a 68mm driver, see if the autopart store (or amazon) has an exhaust reducer with an O.D of 2.75". If you want to do it the way I do it? Lightly heat the inside of the housing with a torch to get it just hot enough to cause the oils on the outside to smoke a bit. Meanwhile, have the ABS Ring, Torrington Bearing and seal in the freezer for no less than one hour. Grab an old beach towel, take them out of the freezer and wrap them all tightly in the towel to keep them cold. Install them with the housing freshly torch heated (keep the torch moving!) and install the frozen parts ASAP. They will damn near slide into the housing more or less. Happy trails!
Great advice!! Thanks for sharing that with everyone!! This was a first for me but I’m always willing to take advice from those who have learned an easier way to do things!! Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching!!
A$$ saved Thanks!
Glad it helped you out!
Hope you strike it rich!

KEVIN - TH-cam STAR NOW 😊
How many bottles did you use for the inside ?
I think it was 4 inside and four outside if I’m not mistaken. It’s been a while since I filmed this episode lol.
@@ancellsadventures the brown paint you used. Was it just normal paint?
@keadejohnson5111 No it was acrylic enamel car paint without any hardeners or additives. Basically just the base paint color. We went to a local body shop and looked at his paint book and found a color we liked and he mixed us one quart right on the spot. That particular color is a Toyota paint color. That’s one thing that made it so nice you can tint it to whatever color you want.
@@ancellsadventuresI sent you a dm Hilton Johnson if you could answer it that would be sweet !
@@keadejohnson5111 on what platform I haven’t seen anything yet?
I'm replacing mine Tomorrow. Took talking to 2 mechanics to tell me what the part was! Awesome video. Thank you.
Your welcome! I hope it helps you out!! Thanks for watching and please consider subscribing
Think I could join you guys on a hunt. I've always wanted to try panning. I metal detect a lot. An want to try something new. Thanks
Unfortunately the properties we are working at the moment are private and we aren’t able to bring guests. However if you’re serious about wanting to get involved in gold prospecting you should definitely check out the Central Virginia Gold Prospectors club. It’s an amazing club that is very family friendly and very welcoming to newcomers! It’s $100 a year for your entire family and has 5 properties at the moment and adding more in may or June. You can camp on the properties and go anytime you want to go. Generally speaking after the monthly meetings they invite new people out to the claims to show them around and teach them how to pan. You can check them out at CVGP. Net
@ancellsadventures Kool, thanks a lot. I'll reach out to them
@GeorgeElliott-xp4mh Your welcome! Thanks for watching!!
This is the 180 video I’ve been looking for I knew it was that I looked at the gear and thought the same thing
Well I’m glad you’ve found it and I hope it helps you out!! Thanks for watching!!
Now you just need a crazy dog running around and you are all set
I think i have this problem on my 1500 silverado. does it sound like an awful grinding? as if brakes pad rivots are grinding on rotors?
Yes it does! Took me forever to find it as bad as it was I was expecting something to fall off!
At what point should newbies think about getting some sort of dredge whether gas or water powered?
I’d definitely say don’t rush into it. Get some pans and maybe a sluice box and learn to pan efficiently. It all comes back to panning in the end. A dredge is nice but learning to locate gold is a must or you will get frustrated fast! I went full bore and felt defeated when I ran a bunch of worthless dirt for hours. If you can locate something good and repeat that result then I’d look to get something that will move more material. Just my two cents
Your video is a perfect example in why to test an area! I learned a bit from your vid! I'm in Virginia and l am looking forward to testing some creeks this summer.
I’m glad you enjoyed the video!! Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for the video my guy, me and you definitely could be related one way or another 😅 Good people… is all I’m saying 👌👍up from me
Thank you! Hope it helped you out!
Nozzle is to small ,for the nozzle just weld a bar across the nozzle will never get a clog I have a 4” Keene that’s what I did to mine
This was back three years ago now I run a four inch proline most of the time. We still use two inch dredges to test new creeks though.
John here, I'm new to prospecting where is all of this lead coming from.
Mainly all the lead we recover is from shotgun shells from people hunting over the years that has made its way into the creeks and it accumulates in pockets just like gold will do. Often where we find lead gold is also found. Thanks for joining us and I hope you enjoy the channel! Please consider subscribing if you haven’t already! We have tons more prospecting videos coming!
