    You gotta be careful of what you had at lunch time if you strain on lifting heavy parts…might sound like cwis phalanx gun.

    Up here in the northeast we use a natural thread locker. It's called road salt!

    has the chassis been twisted has the geometry been altered

    I believe that the lateral rod you are referring to is called a panhard rod.

    I wonder how the body shop verified that the axle housing was bent. Would it have been as simple as rotating a wheel, and noticing that one wheel was wobbling with rotation? Perhaps if the axle is bent, you get to a point it is simpler to replace the whole housing, axles and differential as a unit?

    Which is better for a pick up truck, leaf springs or coil springs?
    I would prefer leaf springs.

    Ray, to make the parking cable removal easy,, take a 1/4" flat large washer and cut a 3/16" slot in it to the center hole. Now pull the spring back and slip the washer with the slot over the cable. That way you do not have to fight the spring anymore while trying to bend the tabs and pulling the cable guide out of the slot/opening.

    Good video, Ray. I would have changed the fluid before I put on the sway bar. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    So when you remove the rear brake cable you have to use all 6 hands?

    Had a dealer tech forget to refill the rear diff on a lease-return pickup I was buying. Made it 30 miles before the axle bearings welded up and the input shaft twisted off. When it skidded to a stop, I got under it and there was a sad little flame coming out of where the input shaft used to be… nose cone glowing red hot. Couldn't find one with the right options (ABS, gear ratio, factory locker) in a salvage yard, had to buy a new one- $4k in 1997 dollars.

    when it comes to those mickey mouse parking brake crap needle nose vice grips can work wonders

    May have been mentioned already, but zip ties help a lot for the handbreak cable. One to hold the spring compressed, and one to hold all the clips in, similar to a piston insert tool holds the piston rings in when assembling an engine.

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kevin L Stephenson says:

    I find it odd that body shops would send out vehicles for the type of work you are doing to this truck and the other jobs you have show from body shops. Where I grew up in N.E. Alabama body shops would do everything (except for internal engine or transmission work) in house.

    Surprised the frame wasn't bent!!

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jason Marks says:

    i get nervous when I see writing that says "core'

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Panamedia LLC says:

    Zip tie in the parking brake spring to hold it compressed it makes it a lot easier

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Al Mac says:

    Torque spec: 1 white knuckle = nipped up; 2 white knuckles = tight; 3 white knuckles = very tight, 4 white knuckles = starting to shear, back off a flat.

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Wire Feed says:

    You can use a Zip strap to compress the brake spring and save the headache.

    Every dooodeeedooo gets a like! Workshop ringtone rocks. Its famous! Tell the front counter service advisors its being heard all over the planet.

    It needs it own channel! You could use it at the start of every video in the background.

    Thanks for your brilliant analysis of me being crazy, watching everything you post. Your diagnostic skills are top notch, sir.

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James says:

    So if your working with Insurance companies, why are you putting in parts from used vehicles instead of OEM remanufactured or aftermarket remanufactured or new parts? I would not be ok with getting someoneโ€™s lack of maintenance headaches from used vehicles.

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars sflotr says:

    Gear ratio the same on the replacement axle as the the original? I worked hope so.

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars matthew mashl says:

    For the parking brake, try using a hose clamp to depress the tabs holding it in. Maybe use some zipties to hold the spring back and out of the way while you do it

    Whenever this guy uses sill words like 'fingies' or 'boing' as well as 'giggity' people say its cute and endearing, but whenever I say shit like that I'm just called immature and childish. Pfft.

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Struckus says:

    I use a zip tie on those brake springs..then when it's in place cut and remove..it really helps release the tension

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ronald Smith says:

    I'd like to see you work on a 92 Mitsubishi

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeff DeWitt says:

    I'm wondering about that rear end, with "Core" written all over it I'd be concerned that someone had turned it in as a core.

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars guy tremblay says:

    Can't believe that with all the sales that Dodge makes since le last 20 years they still uses these junk models of emergency brakes

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Andrew Mena says:

    Is Ray a master mechanic????

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jason Ross says:

    the song you hummed…jeopordy….and yes we are crazy!! ๐Ÿ˜†

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ronald Mills says:

    I donโ€™t know what it is but being a technician myself itโ€™s soothing watching someone else go through the same asspains I do lol.

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Goodwyn says:

    Nice work triple R !

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Joe Not A Fed says:

    Pushing the spring back and clamping the cable lightly with vice grips, works nicely for keeping that brake spring retracted while you sling curses at the clip.

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jesse The pond hopper says:

    They make special tools too remove the parking brake cable

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars K Brx says:

    To get those ebrake cables off in the future just use a flare nut wrench ,pull the spring back slip the flare nut wrench on and push on the wrench ,will squeeze the tabs and pull right out easy peasy.

    "Click" Love it! You tighten enough bolts you really can feel the right amount of torque, for those ney sayers… You haven't tightened enough bolts then.

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars twoeagle86 says:

    Did you guys match the gear ratio to the front diff…or if it's even 4wd lol

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike Moondog says:

    What can I say? . . It's fun to watch, somewhat learn, judge, as a only human but competent professional repairs just about everything on vehicles. Before YouTube we could only watch from the "fish tank" mostly out of curiosity like people do rolling passed a accident on the road hoping to see something to talk with their friends about later, you know . . like a tech taking a oil shower. ๐Ÿ˜Š

    Lateral bar is called a panhard bar.
