    How to: 1.5" body lift for less than $50

    Anyone know what the bolt lengths are for a 3in body lift? Have the blocks just need to buy bolts to complete it

    4x4 trouble

    So I took the coil, clutch, and clutch pack out of a used transfer case and swapped it into mine. Put it back in while leaving the rear driveshaft out and the truck pulled right off. Not sure what piece being replaced actually fixed it. I have a feeling it was the coil though, putting a meter...

    4x4 trouble

    Just checked the voltage again and it's at 14 volts when 4wd is engaged and in Drive. Looks like I'll tear it back open and change the clutch components

    4x4 trouble

    There's a transfer case laying out at the local LKQ. I'm half tempted to just go get it since it's out of the vehicle. Someone took the trans and left the TC laying under it. Or Even just take the clutch and everything else on the shaft instead of the whole case

    BWM- Principals Of Our "Auto" Transfercase.

    I know this is hashing up an old thread but to better understand how this works, 12V goes to the coil making the balls move on the ramp. So then #24 in the drawing presses against the clutches?? Nothing in #26 moves, correct?

    4x4 trouble

    So the transfer case is back in, left the rear driveshaft out. Engages to 4wd and tires start rolling IF they are in the air with no load. Put the explorer back on the ground and it just revs when trying to drive w no rear driveshaft. Makes the slightest bump and that's all. Put a meter on the...

    4x4 trouble

    And after reading some more, does the coil have to be engaged for the lights to illuminate on the dash? Or can the transfer case engage properly if the coil does not have 12V to it? I'm going to put the TC back into the vehicle and start troubleshooting again but needed some clarity in the...

    4x4 trouble

    Quick update, pulled transfer case and opened it up. Everything looks great. No broken teeth, nothing loose, even the clutch pack looks very good with no wear. Anyone have any tips on checking the voltage going to the clutch? The helical cam is in good working order and the hi lo collar is...

    4x4 trouble

    I'll play with it a little more and see what I can figure out. Its a new system to me but imma big DIYer so digging into things isn't really a problem. I'll double check a few things and see what we have going on. Thanks guys

    4x4 trouble

    I never thought about a clutch. That seems possible as when I put it back on the ground it never wants to engage almost like being under load is preventing it. Worth replacing the front transfer case? I'll just pull one from a yard considering this is a free vehicle. Or worth digging into...

    4x4 trouble

    Ok so a quick update. I jacked up the explorer on all 4 corners. Threw it into 4hi and at idle nothing. Only the rear tires spin. Step on the gas an hit approx 25mph and the front wheels take off. Repeat this process for 4Lo and it is the same. The front tires should take off just like...

    4x4 trouble

    Hey guys how's everything? I'm having a little bit of 4x4 trouble and can't quite figure it out. Nothing is engaging. Not 4Hi or 4Lo. The lights all come on and when I lift the front wheels up I can spin the tire which in return spins the front shaft and the main drive shaft. My father in...
