Taking off the brakes takes a few minutes and makes wrangling the CV a lot easier, plus way less strain on the brake hose and the lower ball joint. :) Undoing the passenger lower control arm is the easiest way to reinstall the steering rack. Feed it through there.
Thanks for not stripping the process with the editing. I know on my 2.7 M210 to UFDU swap, I didn't have to muck with the steering rack, but did have to take the Top mount off both diffs to get them out & back in. Felix808
To be honest we didn't even consider doing that (removing the top mount from the diff). The M190 came out fairly easily without doing that, even with the steering rack still in place. We naively pushed forward, thinking the M210 would go back in the same way LOL.
Twist it poke it push it and move stuff around..... You need to coin that phrase.... And turn it into a country and western song.... Make sure you mentioned prison mama trucks and getting drunk And I do believe you'll have the perfect country and western song LOL Don't forget you mentioned the mother-in-law. I was drunk the day my mama got out of prison and I went to pick her up in the rain when I got to the station in my pickup truck she got runned over by a goddamn train ......
All you need is a switchable 12v & the pig tail. Ford drops voltage in the factory setup once engaged I suspect for efficiency reasons, but solenoids are on / off just need 12 v to fire on and hold.
No, I had to use M210 axles. I initially had a used set, but I've since replaced them with new ones from Ford Performance (see our latest video that just came out today).
Love you guys!!! The grit for making these videos is just amazing.
Thanks! We're glad you found some value in it :)
Thats alot of work great job
Yeah it's a piece of work that's for sure LOL.
Great video, Dusty and Steffie! I always wondered what it would take to upgrade to the bigger differentials - doesn't look too difficult.
We cut out *most* of the swearing and struggling LOL.
You might want to look into upgrading that steering rack with one from 74 welds.
We already did! We installed the 74Weld rack a couple weeks ago. We filmed it but haven't edited the video yet.

Every time I do these I get a little better at it!

Thanks for the informative video
We're glad it was helpful!
How are you hooking up the front and rear lockers?
I used the AUX switches. We'll cover that in the next video.
All you need is a switchable 12v & the pig tail. Ford drops voltage in the factory setup once engaged I suspect for efficiency reasons, but solenoids are on / off just need 12 v to fire on and hold.
How’d you turn on the locker?
Were you able to reuse the stock m190 axle shafts?
No, I had to use M210 axles. I initially had a used set, but I've since replaced them with new ones from Ford Performance (see our latest video that just came out today).
You know the stuff that came out that differential drain plug is great on toast.....
It works wonders for my anemia!
