2004 Nissan Titan - Project Titan, Part 2


 Nissan Titan Axle Housing Cleaning

6.) Next, the axlehousing is given a thorough cleaning. This ensures tiny microscopic metal shavings are removed from inner surfaces.

 Nissan Titan Precision Gear Set

7.) A set of 4.56 ring-and-pinion gears from Precision Gear was installed next.

 Nissan Titan Locking Differential

8.) We picked a Detroit Locker as a traction aid. Simple and strong, this differential is hard to beat.

 Nissan Titan Axle Shaft

9.) Thirty-five-spline alloy shafts were used in our Dana 60 buildup.

 Nissan Titan Rear Axle Assembly

10.) With all the parts of the axle assembled, the housing was serialized in two places. This number is recorded on a build-sheet record, which remains on file at Dynatrac. This way, anyone can track down what parts were used in the axle. This helps prevent fraudulent activity as well. Then the axle was installed in our project Titan. It almost looks like it came with the truck, except for the trick Dynatrac diff cover.
