100% correct! It’s a trick done by unscrupulous people to hide noise caused by worn out systems (gears, bearings, etc). Good thing you intended on regearing!

@Johndada517 the difference is that the grease won't leak out of a bad seal as quickly as oil. It seems like a nice combination of oil and grease would lube it well, but also ensure enough lubrication if you had a seal failure.
@@PeteRoberts-sy6ugThey did that with gear shifters in concentration camp to sabotage Germans. A truck supposedly could only make about 10 miles after that.
Often on the 80 series, you can have the swivel hub grease leak into the oil of the axle due to the seals degrading overtime, just make sure to rebuild the hubs

@@clothokaftan I have a Chickanic friend, and bring her along. The looks on the faces when she pops out her toolbox and starts doing compression tests...
Another reason….. I’ve seen it many times in my career, people or shops don’t have the skill to re-seal the outer ball knuckles that will normally end up leaking gear oil profusely with age. So they will simply fill the outer knuckles with grease. Over time and after a few fills this will end up mixing with all the front axle gear oil and end up that sludge you pulled out.
Do you mean switch out all fluids that you can before you buy the car? I’m a noob when it comes to cars. What other fluids besides oil, antifreeze and windshield wiper fluid should you check?
@Wakebased more than likely you won't be able to switch fluids before you buy. But after you buy a used vehicle you should start with oil then do every other fluid you can possibly do. Research before you start anything and have fun.
@@Lost10mm. - Yea but you bought it, though! Then you find a rear end like this one! Just take to a reputable shop and have them inspect it. $150 inspection sure beats the crap out of having to put in a new set of diff gears or engine or...

@@Lost10mm. - This is literally what these "inspections shops" do, though. They inspect vehicles. May not remove the diff cover but they reach in and take a sample (of all fluids), if it looks bad - up to you if you want them to check further - ie: remove the cover for further inspection, should you want to go that route, just as they check every thing else. They get paid to do it, they don't care who's car it is or if I end up buying it, they still get paid. Some times you lose the cost of the inspection if the vehicle is garbage but you win because you didn't get stuck with it. It helps to have some knowledge, to whittle out the obvious junk. Not sure where you are but where I'm from, in Canada, if you buy a vehicle from another province, you must have it inspected or they won't insure you. Those inspections are much more thorough.

Im not sure if it is recommended for vehicle differentials unless it is a mudder, but farmers replace gear oil with grease in equipment gear boxes to stop a leak from a bad bearing seal. For equipment it is recommended and a solid fix, also recommended for all terrain vehicles that will be in mud and water. Probably not recommended for high speed street Vehicles. Good catch!

Wow, the simpletons that rush to say anything on here still shocks me.
I'm so envious of your shop and your skill. I had to give up on my Nissan Xterra after having it for so long. I just didn't have the time or space needed to give that car the love it needed. I had to sell it eventually. Traveled thousands of miles in back country roads in that car. 😢
First thing I did when I bought my Tahoe was replace the diff fluid along with other important fluids. Great piece of mind on a 15 year old vehicle, no weird gear noises.
It's probably molybdenum disulphide oil or additive. It supposedly reduces friction and wear. It is indeed used in CVJ grease but in some boutique and gearbox oil as well.
@BFT88 The CV joint on these are known as a birfield joint, and they reside in an enclosed housing. The birfield joint is packed with grease, and the housing is filled with grease as well. The inner axle shaft passes through a seal that is placed in the axle housing. When the seal goes bad, differential lube starts to work its way up to the housing and birfield joint, and soon you end up with what Toyota owners not so lovingly call birf soup Given enough time, the soup works its way back to the differential, and you end up with that nasty black mess. It’s not a hard job to change the seals and wipers just very dirty. I’ve had to do this multiple times over the years, and it sucks. This only applies to the solid front axle versions.
Back in the day it was known in Australia as 'Banana's in the gearbox'. Good on you for knowing how to dismantle it and repair it (the interweb is a big help today). The vehicle on stands and the floor surrounded by parts bought back memories of my youth. A certain amount of pride goes with stripping parts, repairing it, putting it back together and then driving the vehicle, safe in the knowledge you did the work, and you did it properly. 👍🇦🇺😊
Well, first, how did the carrier bearings and the axel bearings look. Gears are gears....the scuffing is something, but the bearings are the key..... Could have been a blown seal and pump in the axel grease as mentioned. You're doing a gear set swap, completely R&R and start fresh. Good luck with your project!👍
@@wildestcowboy2668 Well I have to completely agree with you, because there's no door on the side of a ring and pinion gear front or rear axle for me to " get inside" and check it out........ Normally, I dis-assemble the axel, completely, clean up, inspect, check, measure and run numbers (if there's a tag), get all necessary parts for whatever the hell I am doing, and well, reassemble the axel and ring and pinion gear assembly, seal, lubricate and reinstall on the vehicle. 😁 I haven't the foggiest idea of mechanical things........ Just a Cowboy Redneck scratch building Hot Rod pickups and classic cars since the mid 1970's.... mostly Fords and a few Chevys and three Air Cooled VWs...... All gone now.... Still, the truth is, I know absolutely nothing about what I do..... Nothing. 😁
@@wildestcowboy2668 what, no reply? Quit telling people you don't know what they have or haven't done. Plus, you add nothing by calling someone out and not explaining a single thing. Do you think the light scuffing explains why grease is in there and not oil? If you're not adding anything useful, you're just whining, so whats it going to be?
I have a 94 Ford four-wheel drive truck. I did the same thing, I put lithium grease in the gearbox because I had an oil leak on the differential that was hard to get to because of the suspension on those trucks. I used lithium grease so that it wouldn't leak out and damage the gears. And as little as I use the four-wheel-drive it's been fine. The people will use it to quiet them down as well.
Yea, likely to quieten things down back there. Back in the day, my mechanic friends talked about using banana peels in the diffs to shut them up. Not sure if they were joking or serious though.
@@HughWoo So the leaking seal caused all if the gear oil to be displaced by the hub grease which leaked into the diff….and and somehow managed to be enough to fill up the whole diff with grease….from the hubs…the two little ol hubs… and the hubs still managed to have enough grease in them to keep from smoking them…. Interesting theory.
@@octaviofierro3923 having something else to drive don't make it any easier it just make sure that the cash is going to keep flowing when you still got a way to get to work
Khloe. I am Quite Sure the Previous Owner Used Grease to Quiet the Differential noise. Most People are Hack Mechanics and Scammers so they can sell their BIG PROBLEM TO SOMEONE ELSE.

You are exactly right ! Thought he was getting rid of it before it laid completely down. You go girl, I believe it will be fantastic when you are done going through it all !
Grease liquifys when hot but is too thick to leak. We put grease in the axle hubs of tanks for that reason. Overlanding with a leaky hub can leave a tank stranded
Not sure if someone said this or if your jack stands are the ones from harbor freight but they did have recalls on them for failure... If they are HF I'd check on that!
That sounds pretty correct. I just did my differentials on my Dodge ram it’s Used I bought it from someone else had what I can only amount to as a really heavy ATF or tractor-trailer oil. And I wish more women would get into repairing vehicles and learning, how to do these kinds of things..

Im impressed. I rebuilt my whole 9.25 rear end in my ram on my kitchen table. Replace all the ring and pinion bearings and races without any pulleys or presses.
Hopefully you got a good deal if he wanted to get sold fast! Kudos for rebuilding that rear end! I know how to do it but I'll be damned if I have to do it again or install a locker!
You know how to do it, but you missed that she's working on the front diff, not the rear end..
@@drlegendre 😂🤣
Your experience and talent makes everything you do look so easy !🌞
Don't forget Daddy's shop. A mechanic cannot stay that clean or be that little without some powerful tools.
@@aaronh1372So what if it's "Daddy's Shop"? Gotta start somewhere....
@@zuwarkgaming so what is my comment in relation to the initial post about experience and talent.... It looks easy cause of daddy, not her. Dad is left out of this praise and its unfair
@@aaronh1372i dont see any dad in this video lol. keep your daddy issues to yourself maybe?
@@Emily-lk1mf Maybe.... Read a little. Like, the words immediately above your ignorance, possibly? I say, "don't see dad", so you say "don't see dad", and somehow that discredits the fact that I pointed it out first? You don't have daddy issues, just simply issues. Major issues.
Wow, the simpletons that rush to say anything on here still shocks me.
One of the only videos that I enjoyed thanks for posting
I am hooked, solid content worthy of following. When buying such a vehicle, you have to factor in repairs to such wear items. Awesome!
Good catch and glad you were able to fix it yourself that's awesome in itself
Awesome work & thank you for calling out the scams out there 😊
That’s a beauty of a truck…I’m glad it’s in good hands. What a fun project that must be.
Damn that’s messed up! Glad you’re rebuilding!
I'm so envious of your shop and your skill. I had to give up on my Nissan Xterra after having it for so long. I just didn't have the time or space needed to give that car the love it needed. I had to sell it eventually. Traveled thousands of miles in back country roads in that car. 😢
First thing I did when I bought my Tahoe was replace the diff fluid along with other important fluids. Great piece of mind on a 15 year old vehicle, no weird gear noises.
Wow!! That is so shady. Glad you got it corrected and setup proper. Merci
Yes what a utter pos he is
It's probably molybdenum disulphide oil or additive. It supposedly reduces friction and wear. It is indeed used in CVJ grease but in some boutique and gearbox oil as well.
All the sludge! Not sure why they would fill it with grease? Glad you’re re-gearing the diff! Can’t wait for more content! 🎉
It’s pretty common for the axel seals to go bad. The tell tell sign is gear oil in the CV housing, and grease in the diff.
Yep. Birf soup
Tell me how grease gets in the diff unless some moron pumps it in there. And yeah it’s axle not axe; and tell-tale not tell tell. So annoying
@BFT88 The CV joint on these are known as a birfield joint, and they reside in an enclosed housing. The birfield joint is packed with grease, and the housing is filled with grease as well. The inner axle shaft passes through a seal that is placed in the axle housing. When the seal goes bad, differential lube starts to work its way up to the housing and birfield joint, and soon you end up with what Toyota owners not so lovingly call birf soup Given enough time, the soup works its way back to the differential, and you end up with that nasty black mess. It’s not a hard job to change the seals and wipers just very dirty. I’ve had to do this multiple times over the years, and it sucks. This only applies to the solid front axle versions.
I changed my rear diff on my 92 silverado. It was far harder than the head gasket. Good job!
The fact you are working on your own car is hella attractive
Yes, that's exactly what he did. Old school trick and still works.
Back in the day it was known in Australia as 'Banana's in the gearbox'. Good on you for knowing how to dismantle it and repair it (the interweb is a big help today). The vehicle on stands and the floor surrounded by parts bought back memories of my youth. A certain amount of pride goes with stripping parts, repairing it, putting it back together and then driving the vehicle, safe in the knowledge you did the work, and you did it properly. 👍🇦🇺😊
Well, first, how did the carrier bearings and the axel bearings look.
Gears are gears....the scuffing is something, but the bearings are the key.....
Could have been a blown seal and pump in the axel grease as mentioned.
You're doing a gear set swap, completely R&R and start fresh.
Good luck with your project!👍
Johnathan you clearly have NEVER been in a ring and pinion rear end.....
@@wildestcowboy2668
Well I have to completely agree with you, because there's no door on the side of a ring and pinion gear front or rear axle for me to " get inside" and check it out........
Normally, I dis-assemble the axel, completely, clean up, inspect, check, measure and run numbers (if there's a tag), get all necessary parts for whatever the hell I am doing, and well, reassemble the axel and ring and pinion gear assembly, seal, lubricate and reinstall on the vehicle.
😁
I haven't the foggiest idea of mechanical things........ Just a Cowboy Redneck scratch building Hot Rod pickups and classic cars since the mid 1970's.... mostly Fords and a few Chevys and three Air Cooled VWs...... All gone now....
Still, the truth is, I know absolutely nothing about what I do..... Nothing.
😁
@@wildestcowboy2668 what, no reply? Quit telling people you don't know what they have or haven't done. Plus, you add nothing by calling someone out and not explaining a single thing.
Do you think the light scuffing explains why grease is in there and not oil? If you're not adding anything useful, you're just whining, so whats it going to be?
@@ctdieselnut You know why da grease is in there.....
I admire your talent
I have a 94 Ford four-wheel drive truck. I did the same thing, I put lithium grease in the gearbox because I had an oil leak on the differential that was hard to get to because of the suspension on those trucks. I used lithium grease so that it wouldn't leak out and damage the gears. And as little as I use the four-wheel-drive it's been fine. The people will use it to quiet them down as well.
Wow, you are kicking ass: rebuilding a rear end!
When you could just buy a new axle for half the cost
I just wish I had the knowledge and means to do the kind of work you do.
Great Job!! 👍
You go girl. I DIY mostly everything, except for my car. Bravo to you!
Amazing how you rebuilt the rear differential. In all my years working on cars, I only got to do this during class.
Simp hard bud. It didn’t show her doing any tangible work.
She should've just swapped a new axle in, no reason to do all this excessive work
@@bldontmatter5319 that’s what I was thinking.
@@throbbinwoodofcoxley6830 you mad because she did something you cant?
@@mastabas
Stop pandering bruh.
You ain’t getting none.
If you got it for a good price, old Land Cruisers are great. Your ring marks after the rebuild look perfect!
You are very smart to think of that angle. Happy you were able clean it out and not discover any serious problems.
Yea, likely to quieten things down back there. Back in the day, my mechanic friends talked about using banana peels in the diffs to shut them up. Not sure if they were joking or serious though.
Works in a pinch
That's exactly what the grease was for to keep the noise down
That’s hub grease that leaked in bro. She needs to rebuild the hubs to fix this. Pretty common on these.
@@HughWoo So the leaking seal caused all if the gear oil to be displaced by the hub grease which leaked into the diff….and and somehow managed to be enough to fill up the whole diff with grease….from the hubs…the two little ol hubs… and the hubs still managed to have enough grease in them to keep from smoking them…. Interesting theory.
It would have been worse if it was dry...this happens to these trucks. It would would have been critical if it was dry.
@@invictusbp1prop143 😂😂😂
@@invictusbp1prop143 you do realize grease & gear oil can mix together & there's nothing stopping one from repacking hubs over & over, right?
This is cool. I look forward to following your progress. Can't wait to see how it turns out.
I applaud you for not being so mad that it took your spirit! See how amazing women are! And you got the job done!
Fuckin..what?
@@jbkeebsbro exactly what I thought 😂 men do this shit 24/7/365 and don't bat an eye or ask for attention lmao
She bought a fucked up car, had someone else fix it, and took some video to narrate over lol
@@DillonHering yeah, the internet has really ruined a lot of women
Can't go wrong with a 80 series Landcruiser or even 100 series Landcruiser
I would agree. The 100 Series are overlooked treasures. People need to chill on the $20k+ prices though imo.

Khloe. I am Quite Sure the Previous Owner Used Grease to Quiet the Differential noise. Most People are Hack Mechanics and Scammers so they can sell their BIG PROBLEM TO SOMEONE ELSE.
I would kill to have a garage like that.

I know. Even the price of steel buildings have tripled in the last 15 yrs. Im sick of working outside year round in the northeast. Oh well, ill build one someday.
Just work and buy it
Just wanted to let you know 💪..you did an awesome job fixing the Diff .. and you can't go wrong buying a Toyota 🚙😁👍.. you rock
Awesome that you were calm about it and I think it's awesome they are able to rebuild a rear end on your own! Well done!!
Just because she is calm on the video doesn't mean she was in real life. Also this whole story could be made up.
“Like a bear with a jar of honey”😆
Your teacher is a very good teacher. He’s teaching you very well.
You are exactly right ! Thought he was getting rid of it before it laid completely down. You go girl, I believe it will be fantastic when you are done going through it all !
I miss my Land Cruiser…12 miles to the gallon. I’d kill to have it back.
Same with me and my 98 Subaru GT Wagon, Should have never sold that car
12 miles 😮🤣 don’t tell me that’s highway? They’re beasts tho, (the old boxy landcruisers are still going in some faraway land)😅
See them constantly over here in Aus. I get to see the '01 in my driveway everyday though. @@patmer2087
Grease liquifys when hot but is too thick to leak. We put grease in the axle hubs of tanks for that reason. Overlanding with a leaky hub can leave a tank stranded
Not sure if someone said this or if your jack stands are the ones from harbor freight but they did have recalls on them for failure... If they are HF I'd check on that!
So did snap on
Cool young lady!
Your going to make someone very happy!
Whoever sold that to you should have revoked their man card. It's good to see you remedy that situation. Much respect !
Oh man. This thing is beautiful.
Yeah… people will try anything in order to sell a car
That sounds pretty correct. I just did my differentials on my Dodge ram it’s Used I bought it from someone else had what I can only amount to as a really heavy ATF or tractor-trailer oil. And I wish more women would get into repairing vehicles and learning, how to do these kinds of things.. That’s why I tell parents specially dads teach your sons and daughters to change oil change tires, and how to diagnose and understand the mechanics of how our car works and how to fix it. I just subscribed wonderful video.🎉
Finally a woman who doesn’t sexualize herself and actually gets views from skills and knowledge they’ve learned instead of just looks from their parents that they were born with.
