Transfer

[breezernate]

I found a local chain driven stock transfer case for $300.  Is this way too much for a used one?

That does seem like a bit much. Offer him half that and go from there

I agree. Do you just need a replacement? is yours no good?

[Cheesemaker]

They go for $100 or less around here.

I was told at the shop that the front portion of my 2-piece driveshaft slops all over the place while my truck is on the rack.  I also noticed some play at the output flange plus notice vibration and grinding bearing noises from that area.

[OOPS]

That can be fixed for less then $300.00 if you do the work yourself. It is not that hard.

Here is a link to a Factory Service Manual (FSM) that will show you how to do it.

Also make sure that the center bearing on the D-shaft is good, they get sloppy and make weird noises.

Three hundred is way over priced IMO, I gave mine to someone when I put my duals in.

Thanks all.  I try to negotiate a lower price.

For some reason ALL truck stuff here in East TN is expensive.   I don't get it.

So, do I understand correctly that I can take off the transfer case in my garage witout dropping the tranny (manual tranny)?

[tgmaul88]

yes you can take it off with out removing the trans   yes

[breezernate]

Thank God!  Great!

Will report on results soon.

New (used) xfer looks pretty good.

$100 is fair

[breezernate]

Got it ready.

Worked on cross member and front drive shaft.  That alone is a project.

Should xfer case be in 4H to remove?  4L ?

[HogCanyonHopper]

I don't think it matters. Just un-bolt and pull off tranny.

I paid 225 for a used trans with transfer case

[breezernate]

Thanks all.

Is it bad to lower the rear of the transmission down too far when the frame cross member is removed?  Should one support the transmission or let it dangle.  Seems it may damage the motor mounts.
