Rebuilding the Front Differential on my 97 Dodge Ram 2500

  • We had to tear apart the whole front axle and differential of my old truck. It needed new carrier bearings, axle seals, pinion bearings, pinion seal and new end yoke. We cut off and replaced all the bearings in the differential without any fancy tools. It is a fair process and amount of work but it is really not that difficult and with all the parts ready to go it does not take very long either!
    Welcome to Traplines and Inlines, this channel focuses on my dog and I on our remote Off the Grid Homestead in Northern Canada. I make videos on off grid homesteading and building, trapping, chickens, mechanical projects, and hunting and fishing.
    I went offgrid and started building my cabin over two years ago, while I was still in highschool. Since then I have built many things at the homestead and have had the priviledge of learning many things along the way.
    The homestead is designed to be relatively low maintenance and with extremely minimal expenses. All of my electricity comes from solar power, heat from woodstoves, and I haul all my water so I dont have any monthly costs associated with my homestead.
    I love the lifestyle, especially because it gives me the absolute freedom to do whatever I please. I plan on continuing to tackle awesome projects and work at building and fixing many more things, and I cant wait to share them with you on the channel.
    Thanks for watching!

    Superior job, My friend! I do admire your mechanical skills. You're right about the fact that doing your own repairs on your vehicles saves a lot of money. That's really an understatement! The hourly rate in your average auto/truck repair garage is going through the roof these days! Anyway, I enjoyed watching you do the repair. Good luck as you prepare things for the coming winter up there in old Canada.🇨🇦

I also remember not so great times in the dead of winter putting a heater core and radiator with all new hoses in my Bronco laying in the gutter with a minus 20 windchill. Did it though cause basically I had no money for a garage to do it and I had to get to work on Mon. 75 miles away. Dude your swinging way above your weight. Stay safe up there.

    Gotta say you did a deadly job on this diff my friend. I overhauled my first diff on my 95 dodge when I was 17years old as all the axle seals were leaking. Im 40years old now and have been a journey man heavey dutty tech for 21 years now running my own mechanics business. I would hire you in a heartbeat over another certified tech. Your work ethic is second to none for your generation eh.
    If ya ever have so many seals leaking on a diff again be sure your diff breather is not plugged. If she is plugged you will do all that work and she will blow the seals out again, no doubt abouter..
    We have a lot in common as Im fleshing a coyote while watching your video.
