  • I cant tell, were u locked? if not that is rough man. I have an arb in my front D30 with 35's and have never had an issue.

  • geeze,,that went easy ,,,ppl who buy imports bitch about american vehicles being junk?..i thought no import vehicle ever breaks ...and to think my 34 year old ford never had a diff replaced

  • @390merc65 But how many things have you replaced? Its not about imports never breaks, it is about through people experience we can tell that imports are better build with better quality all around. American vehicles in general are build without too much thought put into them, I'm a bit glad that after all the economy problem American manufacturers like Ford are putting more effort into their products.

  • @unidad355 i only replaced a few things over the years..but thats not the issue here..look at this video..its an import and is supposed to be better as we are told..there is another video on a nissan breaking 3 hubs in 1 day...3 in 1 day??..and i cant even remember the last time i had my hubs apart for anything and my truck is 35 years old ..i know this will piss ppl off..but import trucks do not impress me at all ..i dont see the better quality here .import trucks seem to break easily

  • @unidad355 i disagree with the thinking that american vehicles were put together without to much thought..yes we got fat and lazy for a while..but the best selling vehicle in the states that outsells all other's including anything from the imports is the f150..you dont stand ,and own the top of the truck world for 34 years by building junk ,,no other truck maker in the world can say that ..not everything american made was junk..and not every import was all that great either

  • @390merc65 Get out of the states and you will see no American truck. It works over here because are cheap and cheap to run. Everywhere else there is Toyotas, Nissans, and Land Rovers. Even when Americans truck are cheaper to buy they are unreliable and thats it. Yes f150s are very good trucks, sales numbers dont mean anything, VW Beetles are one of the best sellers but not a very good cars. Test your F150 along side a Toyota Land Cruiser 70 series pickup and see what lasts longer

  • @unidad355 if you can find a 70's era land rover we will have a test..ok?..you forgot the model t was also a good selling car ..you might not realize this but american trucks are built and sold in other country's..not just in the states ..jd powers and other test organizations say ford is very reliable...the same ppl who say toyota and honda are good..so that must mean something..my truck and others like mine are 30+ years old and still going ,,sounds reliable to me

  • @unidad355 big sales do mean something..why do they not??.would you keep going back to a restaurant that sold sucky meals?..no of coarse not..you speak american trucks are unreliable?.you will find many american vehicles that have gone a million or more miles,,.i would test my truck against a 70 but not sold in the U.S ..and really..i dont live in other country's.i live here..so thats all that matters to me .still,,this truck in the vid seemed to break real easy ..didnt it??????

  • @unidad355 i assume you have imports??..why is it ppl like you try to convince ppl who like..or buy american to switch??..i do not like imports..not saying they are all junk..i just dont like them ..when you look up at this video and you will see why .i do some work for toyota..i am not impressed.you can name alot of ppl who had trouble with american..i can name alot of ppl who had troubles with imports..like my neighbor who lost tranny #2 at only 135k in his accord,,it was bought new by him

  • @390merc65 Yes Im that kind of ppl because I've been in the other side, people like you havent personally experienced proper imports. Yes big sales dont mean anything I prefer a good small family restaurant than McDonalds, dont you?. And you can find many Toyotas with a million miles all around the world. Get your mind out of the states for a bit and see what is what. I can tell you because I've lived in 3 different countries Venezuela, UK and now Canada. I wouldnt buy American again

  • @unidad355 so tell me what is a proper import?..isnt a lexus or infinity a proper import?..or maybe a honda civic or a toyota corolla ?.,the size of the restaurant isnt the point..it was the quality of the meal ..you serve crap food..you dont get much business..you sell something good..ppl will return...same as truck or car sales..so here in the states the camry is the best selling car..i guess their reputaion did not help for sales right???? not that i am sticking up for toyota at all

  • @unidad355 i like a good restaurant...and i eat MCdonalds too ..why should i get my mind out of the states?.i'm american..and i will support our auto industry ,will i be labeled a red neck now that i said that ??..ppl like you wont be happy unless our auto industry died,,then we are forced to work for the japanese and also drive japanese..i have been around imports since the early 80's..i seen good..i seen bad..when imports break..they are 3 times the expense to fix.

  • @390merc65 No I wont be happy until American auto makers put a good effort into cars, If you guys can put a man in the moon more than 40 yrs ago why not make good cars. Yes it is more expensive but they dont break that often. My experience with American havent been good and great with imports, I've some American cars, had 3 Cherokees, 1 Grand Cherokee, 1 Chevy Cavalier, and a 93 Blazer and all have been bad this cant be just a coincidence .

  • @unidad355 r u really compairing a bmw to a cavalier?..whats next a pinto to lexus?..no its not a coincidence,,shit does happen ..but a 93 blazer is no bench mark for automotive greatness ..i did say we got lazy..we also got back on our feet and have proven we have what it takes ..just some stubborn ppl are brain washed into thinking anything american is junk...not all of itl....anything massed produced on 4 wheels can and will break .a Mercedes to a camry ..no exceptions

  • @unidad355 so maybe i should buy Mercedes or bmw?..would this be a proper import?..i hope you say no..you might get the prestige of buying a status symbol like a Mercedes and get noticed at the country club from other snobs , but they are not the most reliable cars to buy .vw is not much better .not knocking any of those manufacture's ,,they make some nice cars,,but it has been proven that americans make good reliable cars and sometimes we out perform them at their own game

  • @unidad355 look up at this video..is this the symbol of a high quality import?..i'm sorry..this truck wasnt going all out and it blew parts up ..and this is not the first 1 i have seen do this..is a toyota truck quality??.the same ones that need a frame replacement after only being a 6 year old truck?..american trucks dont seem to suffer this untill years later..not just after 6 years .are the cheap cars from china quality?,,hell no ..not by any means

  • @390merc65 Just look up at how many videos you can find about Jeeps, chevys and how many toyotas or nissans breaking things, you will be impressed. I recognize you guys made great cars but that is maaaaaaaaany years ago

  • @unidad355 many years ago??..really??..the mighty toyota tundra and tacoma suffer from frame rot on a 6 year old truck..is 6 years ago many years ago?/..maybe if you own a toyota 6 years is a long life expectancy , but not for an american truck..and seeing jeep and chevy ford dodge all outsell a nissan or toyota..you are most certainly will see more of them with trouble...thats like saying you see more camry's on the road then the 1958 edsel ...

  • @unidad355 i will be the first to admit that american cars did go threw a bad time..but that time is over with ..ppl like you cant get passed that concept ,,to you all american cars are labeled bad because you have been reading that for 20 years..we put the world on wheels..and within a few years it has been proven we can match other car makers ..like the new stang vs bmw m3..we beat them on power and performance ,and better mpgs..yet we did for 27k less money..cont,>>>>>

  • @390merc65 I havent been reading that, I have experienced. That Laguna Seca Mustang is ridiculous, vulgar and juvenile with red wheels and stripes, how stupid a 50 yr old man would look driving that thing. A BMW is refined and have class, I really dont care that it beats an M3, the M3 is 20 times the car, when the next auto show comes to your town sit on a m3 and sit on that mustang and feel the interior of both including the gadgets. Thats where the 27k extra goes.

  • @unidad355 you can do anything you want to a stang..and like i said for all the luxury and being a world class car..and having the latest in technology and engineering ,,and being equipped with an optional suspension , on top of having the benefit if independent rear suspension ..with all of this under its belt..[ and price]..a modest american car out preformed it..for 27k.you dam well better get a few more gadgets.bmw obviously didnt spend all the coin on engineering thats for sure.

  • @unidad355 ..did the thought ever cross your mind that the stang is not a luxury car..and never was..the stang was a street fighter and probably always will be..its not out to impress ppl on wall street or the country club..but seeing ford is one of the oldest car makers in the world and have built luxury cars since thg 1930's.i am sure ford could load down the stang with all kinds of uneeded gadgets to impress ppl..but again,,the stang is not about that.but its funny that it can outrun a bmw

  • @unidad355 i am with you on the wheels..i dont care for any of that ..i hate this trend of big wheels today and colors they use on them..i think you do care it beats the m3..infact i have a feeling it insults you like many others that the stang does this to such a status symbol as a refined world class car as a bmw ..even bmw owner's r up in arms over this..how dare the fat lazy americans make a car that can do this to our beloved over priced symbol of automotive success ..cont>>>

  • @unidad355 cont>>,,in fact you proved my point of bmw ppl not liking this..its funny..the bmw crowd try to justify its inflated price by say ..well our bmw is loaded with the finest gadgets money can buy so thats were the money went..do you really need a seat warmer with a finger that pops up to scratch your ass?..i thought bmw was the driving machine?....maybe bmw should have spent the extra money on the driving machine its self instead of uneeded gadgets

  • @unidad355 cont.we beat bmw at their own game...the kids from detroit managed to match a bmw or excel it..how is that possible??..we are just dumb, fat americans..right?..how can detroit make a car that can out perform a highly engineered , well refined , world class , sophisticated,luxury, technically advanced car such as a bmw?..and on top of that ..we did for over half the cost..we did all this and still it gets better mpg's and pollutes less..were did that extra 27k go into a bmw?

  • @390merc65 1 performance car? Thats all? Great for you guys. That Mustang dont have half of the gadgets and commodities that any bmer have.I do like the fact that for that kind of money i can go that fast but go look the Nissan GT-R it is the fastest and cheapest thing you can get for almost that same amount of money. Beat that.

  • @unidad355 here we are again talking about nissan...good for them if they produce suck a car..but i will not own an import..maybe its hard for you to understand but i am american ..remember a thing a few years ago [9/11]?..well when that happened not one import car maker in my country did a dam thing for 9/11,,but the big 3 have..[ONLY ONE] foreign car maker did anything with the big 3..vw..my hats off to them for that ...toyota and the rest..nothing...the hell with them

  • @unidad355 you had me thinking..no not 1 performance car..look a little deeper ..you can get stangs in a few different configurations..then the S,H,O.lincoln also offers an motor like the S.H.O,then you have the raptor..and ecoboost f150..look back at fords history ,,ford was winning races when no one knew what a bmw or nissan was .in fact ford offered every one of its car lines except Lincoln with a hipo offering since 1957 ,even if you bought a station wagon you could get a hipo motor

  • @unidad355 how many hipo cars does nissan offer?.or toyota or honda?..maybe 1 each??.how fast was a 1970 toyota or honda?..the american auto industry had many engineering first's that the rest of the world copied and benefited from .we had front wheel drive way back in the 1930's .supercharger's as well .fuel injection , 4speed auto tranny's in the 50's ,pdb ,400hp in the 50's 360hp front wheel drive , anti lock brakes in the 70's and air bags too

  • @unidad355 so if you look back you will clearly see the american auto industry had many many performance cars long before bmw was probably even in business,,now dont get me wrong..i am not knocking bmw Mercedes Audi and the rest...i am just sticking up for my own ,,bmw makes nice cars , but so do we .you can hate that fact but thats the way it is .

  • Damn, was it running the R180 diff? If so the new Xterra, running the same diff, have been having a scary amount of front differential failures.

  • That sux. Over here In Australia, those things are notorious for breaking front diffs with just a little bit of hard work. same as the hiluxs. I broke 2 in the space of 3 months in my hilux and i wasnt giving it much curry the second time! haha. The navaras have an alloy front diff casing and they flex with too much torque. thats why they break. the hilux crown wheels are just tiny. The crownwheel gear face is 25mm wide!...

  • ouch that's a bummer, but i dnt see how that happened if your wheels were still rotating. hmmm, perhaps a defect? i drive an 05 SE with 33's and a 2 inch lift and can easily crawl up stuff like this, never had to worry about my diff going.

  • id say a defect....I have an 08 and I towed a 1500 pound trailer for 2 weeks... Broke my rear diff .....nissan asked me how I did it and the simple "idk" answer was given...... free diff :-) works great now so I think it was a defect

  • @amptyvision

    same thing just happened to me tonight..... the aluminum housing flexes causing a shift in the spider and ring gears.. ( putting most of the load on one or 2 gears)

    now mine sounds like a wooden roller coaster when I drive it... its going to nissan tomorrow under warrenty.

  • that sounded expensive...how much did that run you if you dont mind me asking?

  • The front wheels were spinning why did it break??

  • did the diff break from a rock?

  • no it broke from to much torque going threw the diff.

  • warranty doesnt cover off road does it? i just smashed my radiator had no way of saying i didnt do it offroad so i had to pay for it myself

  • dame. thank god 4 warenties

  • damn, no more 4x4ing 4 you mate

  • already fixed it and heading next week to TN to do somemore

  • ah hope u were able to warranty it... mybe... heh heh
