In this video I show the steps and procedures necessary to replace the rear differential fluid in the Nissan Titan. This truck shown in the video is a 2006 Nissan Titan le 2wd. equipped with the m226 Dana 44 variant differential. this model has an all aluminum diff cover with a fill plug. i opted to reseal the cover due to a leak and i wanted to inspect and clean the inside of the assembly. the regular service interval for these axles are about 60k miles. Listed below are some tools and parts i used to complete this repair. i hope this video has helped you out. if it has please like and subscribe, if you have any questions please feel free to leave something in the comment section. Thank you for watching!!

Thanks I'm going to do this, my truck has just over 200k miles, I'm the 2nd owner got it with around 120k so I've never done this for fear of messing it up but now I see that's it's an easy process. Thank you.

Hey there , I just got a titan pro4x , it has 129 k miles but seems to be holding up nicely. Since you are an owner of this type of truck what are your thoughts about it longevity ? So man TH-camrs seem to think that titans are crap but I wonder if they have sponsorship with competitors ?what are your thoughts ?
Thank you for taking the time making this video. A job well done!
Thanks bro, your video is just straight to the point.
We love you Aaron Hines... Great content dude. You are awesome.
Did it today my man! Thank you so much! Hope
You keep
It up!
I’ve learned a lot from this channel keep it up 👍
Thank you!
Great information, I own a 09 4wd with about 131,000 and I am going to pull cover and check internals. Thanks
Good and easy explanation and video was on point for pertinent video need to show the steps.
Thanks for your video
Nice job 👍🏾
Noiceeee super clean job
Thank you mucho- learned a lot and saved me some dineros
Good Job
Como siempre maestro Gracias
Thank you!
excellent
Just thank you .
Thank you
Thanks for this. Very helpful. Do you have a video for the front differential and auto gearbox too?
a good tip for bebinners also is 2 or 3 lengths ,4 inch or so threaded rod , wood dowels will work too, same thread as the cover bolts. put them in and slide cover up to diff. less chance of side slipping the silicone
Aaron do you have any exhaust manifold recommendations for the Titan?
Exelent job
Thank you!
just replaced my gear oil for free, thanks! would’ve cost me for sure
Is there a face plate that you take off? I’m just wondering because I thought my 06 titan no fear edition had a faceplate on my rear diff before I took it to the tire shop
When filling out drives on outboard motors we fill from the bottom to prevent any air pockets from forming
good video. mine is a limited slip differential and if you have a LSD, add the required bottle of LSD lube. It's a small bottle. Like 2 or 3 ounces. My two cents.
This Titan aluminum cover will fit the M226 axle on a Frontier. I installed a new cover on my 2023 Pro4x Frontier and use the LubeLocker gasket. It works great.
Instead of using silicone to seal it, can you use a gasket ?
Does a 2008 Nissan Titan LE 4x2 Crew Cab have "limited slip"? Do I need the limited slip additive with the rear diff gear oil I use?
You said to use a degreaser and had the brake parts cleaner in your tools needed, but used the blue bottle to clean off your cover. What is in that one?
I just did this service a couple months ago. I have the steel cover and there were no tabs. Its a good time to check the diff breather while you’re there. Mine was caked full. I also replaced the brake line while I was there. NY winters suck.
Man that’s a bummer about the brake line, in AZ we don’t see a lot of rust. Those breathers are horrible. I also have a steel cover on my personal Titan. (04)
@@AaronHinesAuto The aluminum case cover was added in '06 i think . Mine has it and it's an 06. The alum. cover was added to alleviate an overheating problem in the diff. It's not there to look good, but it does. Heat was building into the diff and foaming or whatever. Plus it is a small capacity gearbox. Axle seals were a problem too. If you tow on a regular basis , get an alum. cover. My two cents great video Aaron
Just had my 2010 serviced @ 130k. Not sure if it was ever done. They told me when they pulled the plug it was full of metal gunk on the plug. All they did was drain and replace fluid. Should I do this procedure and spray for the extra gunk to save the rear end or am I doomed?
My 2006 had a lot of metal in the grease my 2013 was real clean it also has a lot of throttle delay when starting out most of the metal in the 06 comes from the spider gears.
I've got a 2006 myself and just started losing pressure or no power on takeoff is the big issue I'm having I've got 213, 000 miles on mine
If your diff isn’t leaking is it necessary to take the cover off and do this or just drain and refill ??
Used truck just bought, 250000 miles. Going to do this but just added some fluid and and smells like burning plastic?
That must be a very late model 2004 , my 2004 had a steel diff cover . I have to buy the aluminum cover for mine .
need a good locker for my'06 2WD titan. The limited slip is only marginal help. Anyone got any recommendations? could rebuild my lsd but they don't last long 50,000 miles at best.
Keep the Titan videos coming! Do you think it's overkill to put high temp thread sealant on the plugs before reinstalling them?
Not at all! And thanks for the support!
no need
@@bbhoustontx Why does the factory add thread sealant to the plugs then??
I was driving my 04 titan and it started making a clanking noise in the rear. I was far from home so I kept driving. Noise went a ay after 3 miles or so. Now I’m worried. Truck is lifted and it looks like it has a after market differential. Any suggestions? Thanks for the help. Clanking noise went away but now I hear like if the brakes are rubbing against the brakes
Did you figure out what it was? I think it could be the bushing on your driveshaft. I saw a video on YT about a Nissan Titan having a similar issue where there was a clanking sound during shifts.
How about torque lbs on bolts. The one thing I needed.
Transfer case drain/fill plugs to 26 ft.lbs and differential drain/fill plugs (front 25 ft. lbs, rear 32 lbs.). Hope that helps!
aint there a drain plug on the bottom. mine has it, w a magnet too -05 titan
I have a 2005 infiniti qx56,, the engine is very loud or the fan, almost sounds like its struggling, what can i do? What do you think it is. Thanks sensei
It is normal. I have a 2000 tundra next to be running and I can't feel or hear the engine. Then comes the titan with its loud fan. Something i really hate about my titan.
It's your clutch fan
Use the same type of oil for the front?
75 or 80W 90 for front
Great video Aaron, one question for you....I have a 2004 Titan, 80,000 miles...My owners manual says SAE 80W -90 viscosity...but you say SAE 75w - 140 synthetic....was there an update from nissan saying use a heavier oil...or does it matter.....Thank You
If you notice, it has that number on the diff cover.
80-90 is for the front diff, but 75w-90 can be used no issues. Rear can use a 75w-90 with no issues, but if you tow with your truck than 75w-140 is best.
what's the name of the pneumatic tool you were using to sand off the silicone?
Die grinder
Guess I don't understand why you took the cover off,and what was the business about the diff breather on top?Seems like maybe that is the cause of the axle seal leaking
Gaylord Miller the first thing he says in this video is why he does that lol.....
does it have a allen ranch hole in it
Your socket wrench will fit.
Is these only on 4x4s? Newbie here.
Nope. Same procedure for 2wd and 4 wd
Why not just get the gasket?
How do you know when its time for this service
He said every 60,000 miles in the beginning of video
Where are live
I followed this video and I think I have a leak at the fill plug what do I do ?
Put thread sealant on it.
I’m not understanding the bottle upside down 🤦🏾♂️
Mine was just as dirty and it wasn’t that many miles
i thought they had a drain plug.
They do, but his had a leak so he took it off, cleaned it and resealed it.
Thank you
