as some of you may remember, i managed to destroy an np208 transfer case.
brief background:
i'm a retired army cavalry scout and rated 100% broken by the v.a.
6 kids, 4 have their own families now and 2 still at home.
my only son calls me up to tell me his power steering pump pulley flew off his 2009 dodge ram (i drive on 05). he also asked me how i was doing with the truck he sold me (the 85 k20 aka 'flying turd')
i told him about the transfer case.
he called me up today saying he went to a pick and pull (i live 30 minutes away from any town, he lives where the 'action' is) and had a transfer case for me.
(like any parent i told him he was getting paid so he could feed his own kids. tried to tell me 'it's all good dad')
so, while getting a nice visit in with the boy, who was a wheeled vehicle mechanic in the army for a few years, the flying turd soars again.
the 'new' case is of 1982 vintage and shifts between modes and range like butter.
the 4wd indicator light works now as well. (broken switch housing on the old case).
just need new u-joint for the rear driveshaft and i'll be back to where i was.
i did fill the case with atf and front wheel drive it 50 feet into the garage.
so, THANKS to everyone in my broken truck thread.
looks like i'm back to building.
