Last year mid may on my way back to Lake Tahoe from Florida I stop to get something to eat in Oklahoma . When I came back out to my truck Put it in drive and I guess The U joint Froze up on me I just about got the truck around the corner to a mechanic shop That was close So I had to get a room for the night . Just my luck They were predicting A tornado to come through and Storm chasers stayed in the room right next door to me . Their truck Had all kinds of protective Caging around it and I said to myself, This can't be good LOL I had my truck fixed first thing in the morning and got the hell out of there. Thumbs up for the video mossman
They can squeak for a long time but eventually they will fail without lube. I have seen the storm chaser rigs on tv. My luck is bad enough so I am not going to go chasing tornados.
Lay the driveshaft on the table and support the yokes then strike the yoke. I worked at driveshaft shop for 7 years and that’s the method we used, always freed them up.
I am willing to try anything. I don't really mess with driveshafts that much. Would love to see that technique.
Kyle is right That is a must if you do not want to do it again soon neutralize the joint.
Awesome video! That helped me out before I started on mine, gave me a idea on what to do. I put mine in a press and had to use alot of heat to get the old ones out. Definitely a pain. But didnt take me to long. Thanks again!!
Just did mine on my 02 Dmax a couple of weeks ago. There were literally no bearings left in the cups lol mine went in real stuff too... what I did was grind down the c clips a little so they weren’t so thick. That did the trick and they move nice and freely now.
Some taps on the yoke is all you can do. They will loosen up as they move. I am not sure I would be modifying the clips.
I pull off all the new caps put grease in them to keep the barrings in place if your ever under the truck and bump a cap off it will save you and it just comes out the fitting
Ok I just took a good look and mine are facing the front diff. And the back one is facing the back way. I didn't do the install I was on the road when I had them changed but I did grease them just a minute ago. Great video
Yup, front one on axle side and rear one on transfer case side. I swapped the front joint around. I think I can grease the back on the way it is but I think you will have more room on the t-case side.
The OEM ones are great! I’ve had a few trucks now with well over 200k and still no issues!
When I did the rear U-Joint on my Yukon, it was the first time I'd done a GM steel driveshaft. I'd done Jeep axle shafts, Jeep drive shafts, and GM aluminum drive shafts. The plastic retainer caught me off guard. I'd been hammering the crap out of it trying to get the U-Joint to budge. Decided to heat it up to see if it was just rusted in place, then the plastic started to flow out of the injection holes and I was dumbfounded. First I'd seen like that, It was easy after that and the best way I found was to just heat the driveshaft up around the outside until all the plastic flows out and they come out easy. I actually think its a neat idea to hold the caps in and if I had a way to do that myself I'd do it with the replacement joints.
It would be much easier to just remove a clip than heat plastic. To me it's like way over thinking a solution.
@@mossman381 True, but on the manufacturing side it's actually pretty innovative. All you have to do is get the joints pressed in and take it to an injection machine and you're done. Or better yet, have the joints pressed in and on the same machine have arms come over and inject the plastic in one station. No fiddling around clips.
very good VIDEO.
Thanks
I never press em out. Strattle vice and hit er !! Lol
Big snow ❄️ ⛄️
Yeah we got some snow. Will have some plowing videos soon.
Big big snow!
Plowing 32 years. Chasing issues with a 2500hd all fall. Hubs , front end work ect. Next is shaft. Squeek. Damm. Not to mention the tail pipe i put on 3 yrs ago is toast ! Crap parts. 5 hubs ive put in. Sks even! Everythings cheap crap but expencive
I'm hearing the moog 330-A is the proper ujoint to use on the 2002 2500hd rear shaft! Would this be correct or no? Thanks......or the 295 moog works just fine?
I’ve used so many of the moog ones in both shafts. Nothing but problems they seem to work for a few house then go loose , look it to my buddies garage he ordered gm ac Delco and been good for a year and half
I have links to the AC Delco stuff but couldn't wait to order them. Had to get the job done between snow storms.
Ya have to do what you have to do , that’s just my experience.
Keep us updated with the ones you put in. I don’t know if it’s the cups being different sizes or what not. They would go on tight but then after a few storms the u joins would come lose on the cups. Like the bearings fall out .
The ones from gm dealer are like 80-100 each side. Compared to 40 at Canadian tire or car quest
I have had the shaft out and swapped the front joint around. So the grease fitting is towards the axle. The back is still pretty stiff. This is after doing a bunch of plowing. These Moog were $18 then I get a 25% discount.
You can grease them with a grease needle for your grease gun. That’s what I use on mine.
I prefer to use a grease gun coupler. They just seem to work better. And I have to change the head on my grease gun which is a pain.
do 2500hd 4x4 silverado come with 4.10 rearend gears? and can the differential bolt right on a two piece drive shaft from an extended cab longbed 2500hd thats 2wd ?
They had 4.10 and 3.73 gears in the 2500hd trucks. The diesel trucks got most of the 3.73 gears. The easiest way to tell is the codes in the glovebox. I am pretty sure a 2wd axle will work in a 4x4.
Would those be Bush-Wacker fender flairs on your truck, ifso would you know the part/model of the flairs? My trucks a 02 2500hd. Thanks......
I just went with some cheap flares and they are cheap. You can get the Bushwacker flares. You will pay more but they are a much better quality. amzn.to/3gnTOOW
At 8:35 you start pressing in the U-Joint, but it appears you do not use the included C clips. At 13:34 you discuss how important the C clips are. So now I am confused. I came here seeking advice on the C clips but you didn't even use them. So could you elaborate on the use of the C Clips? Why did you not use the C clips when pressing in the U-Joint?
The clips are very important unless you want your joints to fly apart. I put them in just didn't show it. I didn't think showing me putting in a clip was needed. It would have just made the video longer for no good reason. They aren't hard to install and there is no technique that needs to be used. You just push them in place.
The first time I ever done it when I was 18 I’m like ah the clips might be for a different truck got 1 Mile down the road
And it blew off lol that was 12 years ago I learned a thing or 2 since
We have all been there.
how tough was it getting your front slip joint to slip, i cannot for the life of me get the front driveshaft out of my truck.
This one came out but I have had one that was sticky. If you pull the rubber seal back away from the transfer case you might be able to spray some blaster in the splines.
mossman381 thank you, i have to pull it out just slightly to install it back on the diff after i installed my lift kit.
What kind of tires are those?
BFG KM3
dis that fixed your problem?
Yes, it fixed my squeak.
If something is hot you can use pliers to hold it 😂😂😂😂. Don’t worry about greasing them. Your last ones lasted 260k miles so these don’t worry about greasing them
Thanks for not explaining how you got the driveshaft out of the transfer case
All you had to do was ask instead of being a baby about it. I will let you figure it out.
Looks like the damn driveshaft has psoriasis, I’ve never seen one this bad!
Are you talking about the rust? This driveshaft isn't even that rusty for Wisconsin. You must live in Florida or something.
