So. How much should someone charge me to install Yukon axles on my pickup?

Couple hours worth of labor plus differential fluid. Take it to an off road shop

Well I forgive you on the ford stuff. I had a Deluxe 28 SHO for last year/early this year. It was a fine machine. I'll be going the route of Platinum 24 SHO myself for my next blower. The 28 inch was too much for what I needed at this house, the 24 will be perfect. I also restore and resell old JD blowers myself, usually the 826s and 1032s. I'm thinking of maybe manufacturing skid plates for the old JDs on the side- as they are becoming harder to come by on EBAY and other places. I think paying $60.00+ for new ones is a bit silly. We'll see though.

Nice, If I had a CNC machine, I'd do tons of that kind of stuff myself. definitely agree with the 826's and 1032's they are awesome machines. I considered the 28", but decided that the extra 4" wasn't worth the cost so I went with the 24". Although, when I used to sell them to people, if I liked the person (aka they weren't being idiots or @ssholes), I would generally say stick with the 24, its easier to maneuver and has the best power to size ratio... If the person pissed me off or was obnoxious, I would always say "Bigger is Always Better Right?" then get the higher valued sale. :lol:

FWIW anyone that does have the out of round axle problem and would like to pick up a set from Advance Auto Parts you can use code TRT30 and get 30% off. Cant tell if this is a set or just one though: http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/dorman-oe-solutions-rear-axle-shaft-right-and-left-side-630-325/10308771-P

I can almost guarantee you we all have out of round axles! Jeeshhhhh.........

Personally, I think it's a multitude of things being amplified by the frame...the 2500s have frame beaming as a result of the stiff frame and poor tires. Why couldn't the 1500s also have frame beaming as a result of axles/tires/driveshaft/differential/etc?

 

That's part of troubleshooting, keep trying things until you find what works...

That is for the set, even though they are normally sold individually. I'd be interested to see the quality of the Dorman units as you can get Motive axles for that price. The Yukons will cost a bit more.

    • Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver. 
    • Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....  
    • 4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps. 
    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.  
    • Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
