The rear diff squeal is very normal, usually just changing the fluid makes it better
Thanks for the advice, It stopped engaging all together in this video. I will fix it though and send it again!
Some times
My CRV squealed...I just changed the fluid and it's been fine the last 15,000 miles. I pick the CRV...much lighter. We went all over the Mojave road trail with no issue....stock height with street tires.
Nice! Unfortunately my diff is toast. I will buy a new one soon and start working on the CRV :)
Muy buen video. Yo tengo un CRV '97, amo ese vehículo y tambien me gusta mucho el modelo antiguo del Pilot.
👣🏃
Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱
Very good video. I have a '97 CRV, I love that vehicle and I also really like the old Pilot model.
👣🏃
Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱
My parents had a CRV when grew up so seeing another family having fun with one is just too good!
One of my favorite videos y’all have done. Loved seeing the RD1 run with the Pilot.
Thanks!
You and me both
Both is my favorite suv
Oh yeah!
i have a 2006 Pilot with 250k miles. i love it and i love watching your vids.
I've got 250k too!
@@GotterAdventure the most rugged place i've taken my Pilot was at the "Hole In The Rock Road" in Utah. did very well. keep posting your awesome vids. my goal is 300K on the Pilot.
Hi im motived yo buy a pilot 06-08 i was Reading about the excesive oil consuption anyone here have that problem? There's any way to Fix that? Help me out cuz i really want this SUV
@@zetto18 i've never had an issue with excessive oil consumption. i'm an original owner of a 2006 Pilot.
Im up here in NC! i got a lifted 2004 crv ive been tinkering with! looking for like minded ppl to offroad with! Nice video! Just subbed
You should try to make the AWD festival meet coming up the weekend of May 13th. www.awdfestival.com/
okay, you convinced me. I'll sell my CRV and buy a Pilot
Don't even need to replace the diff. Just replace the diff fluid
I have replace the diff. fluid 3x and the sound keeps coming back. I have read that the Element diff has a little more bite.
@@GotterAdventure in that case 08-11 diff from element is a good bet. 05-11 crv fits too. Just save your bracket from your crv you'll need that. Actually testing element vs crv diff soon. Search joey gossens on rd1 fb page
@@GotterAdventure oh and I'm sure you know this but only use Honda rear diff fluid.
Yes make sure you ONLY used the Honda DPF2 fluid. Anything else will squeal. If after a couple changes with Honda fluid the squeal is still there - then Element or newer CR-V diff will work. Element diff is beefier, but engagement time is the same. Newer CR-V diff is not beefier, but spool-up diff engagement is A LOT quicker than 1st gen CR-V or the Elements.
@@GotterAdventure Great content btw!
Yeah I’m here for the Rd1
Once I finish the Pilot mods maybe I can work on fixing the Crv up for Eleni to wheel!
Yeah mine was doing the same did a dif fluid change and it stopped
Change the fluid in the rear diff of the CRV, go for a drive and drain and fill again and I bet it would fix that noise.
My rear diff stopped squealing, but it also stopped engaging lol
Those clutches are probably bad or the diff needs new fluid. Additionally I know you could benefit from our new oil drive gear and RacingDiffs Clutch kit and potentially the new LSD and axles aswell. Would love to see what your CR-V Does with these new innovations offroad
Thanks for the comment. This video is with fresh fluid. I am pretty confident the clutches have failed because the noise has stopped and the wheels don't spin LOL.
👍 you guys got a steal for that CRV
Yeah we love it too! I can’t wait to swap the dif
@@GotterAdventure you probably could pick one up with a low mile. Luv Honda parts you can find anywhere for a bargain price keep us updated
Thanks for the tip! I will check it out
If u flush and add diff fluid it’ll take the noise away 👌🏽 I have a few CRVs on my page
I have drain and filled 6+ times. The diff was in really bad shape when I traded my kayak for the car. LOL
@@GotterAdventure oh yikes lol junkyard time 👌🏽 or buy the kit to make it all time awd ooor u can weld it shut throw some 20/40oil in there and send it
The loops under the front bumper are not recovery points they are lashing points for securing the vehicle when being transported like on the back of a flat bed tow truck and were not made for recovering the vehicle. A tow bar at the rear is much more suitable for recovery as are recovery loops that come through the grill in the bumper. Not sure where to get the front ones but I'm making a set for mine. Over stressing the lashing points can cause them to fail which is dangerous. I recommend getting a tow bar for the rear of the CRV before getting a snorkel for the Pilot, I'd hate to see a vid of your rear Lashing point fail and the clevis go through the windshield of the Pilot. Saw it happen to a Jeep once and the driver got it in the face with a chain that took half his jaw off.
Thanks for the advice
Great videos..Just wanna to ask some opinion cuz im buying my first car,which is better 2004 crv or 2005 pilot? Hope that u can see this and get some answer
It depends on what you are looking for. The crv has a timing chain, gets better mpg, and is generally cheaper to maintain. The Pilot seats up to 8 people and has a better awd system.
That squeal is due to draining the rear differential fluid. It also happened on my pilot once i changed the fluid the noise went away 100%
During this video the diff stopped engaging entirely. I will fix it and hit the trails again as soon as I can find a used diff.
My neighbor got one of the small honda from USA I like it... so don't get it to bad ,cause I have a dream for it...I want to buy it
We love our 1998 CRV. It is a cool vehicle!
Pretty amazing for those old CRVs. Are the places you attached the shackles to rated for recovery? Just checking because if they are too weak they could snap off and hurt somebody when under a load. Some of those things are just made to hold the vehicle down while in transport.
These vehicles are not rated for recovery... The best I can do is to make sure people stand clear.
@@GotterAdventure be careful! I’d put a winch blanket on the straps to deaden the recoil if it snapped too. I enjoy the videos!
I recently sold my 2006 Ridgeline and sadly never took it offroad... You should consider playing with one of those one day if you get a chance. They should have the same driveline as the Pilot but they have a truck bed and a secret trunk. I doubt anyone will trade you one for a kayak though.
The Honda CRV, the differential makes noise when driving 4x4, the differential oil should be changed
Great video..I enjoyed watching it..
Glad you enjoyed it
wow keren banget...
5:25 she needs a new rear clutch pack I had a 1st gen crv that made that noise when they get that bad its time to get a wrecking yard rear diff and flush the clutch fluid or if you cand find a clutch shop that can make you new clutch packs but aparently a honda element rear diff is same ratio but has tougher clucth pack thats a good optional upgrade if need be
Thanks for the advice! I have been on the lookout for a newer element diff to through in the V! No luck yet :)
I'm using currently a real off road car with low gear (mitsubishi pajero or montero). I'm thinking to buy honda pilot as it has bigger interior, my question, is it really a good car for desert offroading and dune bashing? Do you recommend it although it does not have low gear and diff lock?
With my limited sand experience I think it will do well!
Ive heard several people change there diff out. Either elment or accord wagon. im wondering which year would be best. I have a 99. God bless
That is true! I plan to replace mine as soon as the right vehicle lands in the salvage yard.
I think the kayak would have done better.
I have 2015 Pilot Do you belive that is the same AWD system? I only need to change all terrain tires
If you have the AWD model then it is very similar and probably better. The main thing to watch out for is clearance.
It is a slightly upgraded "4WD" AWD system if it is equiped. Very similar in performance except in situations where you have only 1 tire with traction in which it can give a percentage higher torque. And the nice thing about the 2015 is the air intake is higher sitting on top of the radiator plastic cladding. The main concern you will have with any off-roading is that the lowest part of the vehicle is the oil pan. You'll have to be mindful of it as anything you might do to protect it will rob you of ground clearance.
@@acephantom903 My skid plate doesn't doesn't effect clearance much... www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/2007-honda-pilot-off-road-build.20884/post-347609
you got a Honda team now. did you drop your truck plans (i believe you had mentioned sometime ago about it)?
I am not getting a truck anytime soon
And it also happened on my brother in law crv he has a 2000.
During this video the diff stopped engaging entirely. I will fix it and hit the trails again as soon as I can find a used diff.
Amazing video!! What are you running for sway bar links?
In this video...none LOL
A lovely woman, she always smile
I miss my pilot! Just got rid of our 05 with 220k miles. It developed rust that I was not able to repair.
That's unfortunate. How did it develope rust?
@@rainretribute9852 the first-gen Pilots are prone to it. Usually in the rear. Our Pilot was in our garage and well taken care of. But the rust was a sneaky son of a buck.
hey man! what’s your LED headlight set up!! (marker light, high beam, low beam, fog light, auxiliary lights) where’d you get the bulbs from!
I went with plug and play Leds. JDM ASTAR T1 H1 for my low beams and fog lights. Auxiliary and High beams are just generic. I buy my lights on Amazon.
Dope video! Love the pilot. I have a 05 pilot with 120k miles wondering wat are the must have mods for that car. Also do u use vtm-4 on those big puddles?
I would say the must have mod is good tires, then recovery gear, then a lift or skid plate. I did engage the vtm-4 lock before entering the water.
@@GotterAdventure thanks for the feedback any specific suspension you recommend?
Just change the fluid with honda fluid for the rear diff
Thanks for the advice, it stopped squealing during this video. The problem is it doesn't engage any more at all 😂. I will eventually replace it with in a better differential
Do you have a lift kit on that blue crv ?
Not in this video. However, I am currently running a 1" lift in rear due to saggy springs and carrying my family of 5.
Oo I see . Does ur tires rub or hit anything ?
@@anthonyjr699 No rubbing, I am running General Grabber at2s in size 215-75-15
@@GotterAdventure nice ! Thank you so much
Which one is better at offroading crv or pilot.
The Pilots vtm-4 system allows the rear to lock providing better off road performance. It is also an active system engaging every time the vehicle starts rolling. The Crv has a reactive system that requires front wheel spin to activate.
More rd1 pls
I will do my best! Though the rear dif is shot at the moment LOL
If you had to choose between the Pilot vs CR-V, which would you choose?
Pilot easy, the crv is pretty under powered. And the AWD system isn't as good
@@GotterAdventure Even if you found a manual? How much difference is there between RealTime and VTM-4?
The difference is pretty extreme. Vtm-4 is pro-active ( on every time you start acceleration) and can lock the rear. Realtime is reactive ( only engages after slip) and has open diffs.
Hi piloters i live in dominican republic i have a family of 3 and i have fall un love with the pilot 06-08 but i read on some forums about excesive oil consuption, but no one said is there a way to fix it? Help plz i really looking on this SUV help me to decide between xterra06 or pilot 06
I haven't ever heard of oil... My Pilot has 250,000 miles with no noticeable oil consumption.
hi. does the pilot have a suspension lift thank you
I have a 2.5" lift
Great 🤙
why do you not get new cars?
They are a bad investment
what size tires on the cr-v?
215-75-15 General Grabber ATII
Rear diff needs to be changed out.
Yeah we killed the diff in this video. At least it doesn't squeak anymore. LOL
Hey how high do you lift your honda pilot ?
2"
@@GotterAdventure both from nd rear
@@aneudymartinez2279 approximately, my rear air springs add some lift too.
Check out my build thread in my description
She wouldn’t have gotten stuck if she drove faster
LOL, They we may have truly seen the end of Ripy.
Lmao, I had literally the same pair of vehicles, down to the colours. Wife just recently took the Pilot as the CRV needed to be put to rest. Great cars though.
I have a honda pilot and a acura mdx but we saw a new van that was PERFECT but a little twist.. it was 1 dollar.. for a good van?? what.. But the mdx had to be put down but its still in our driveway since the beggining on fall. still Runs great.
We love our Hondas! We have a 07 Civic, 07 Pilot, and 98 Cr-v
@@GotterAdventure im a honda a acura guy. In the oddysey rn love honda
@@GotterAdventure up until this current vehicle I was on my 8th Honda. Picked up a 2012 VW Touareg TDI this time around.
