I have gotten bolts from Ford, from Advance Auto, from Napa, and from the junkyard. Yes the ones from Ford did come with Loctite. All back out.
It’s the viscous clutch itself. I would have to see the diagram. It’s between the front and the rear drive. Linked with the planetary gear. I’ll see if I can find a picture.
Wow 450k. How many motors. Lol. Btw I’m not challenging your knowledge or experience in any way. Definitely a higher level thread. I only mentioned torque as it’s a possibly.
You’re trying to give advice on a specific transfer case maybe you should *actually* know something about them. We aren’t talking transfer cases in general.
one motor, rebuilt once with 125K on it
Take a look at this forum School Me (and you?!) On Viscous Couplings (BW4404) He goes into detail and consistently calls it a viscous coupling, and I have also had it called a viscous clutch. you are th only one who calls it a gear. In this transfer case it is a sealed unit and I was able to turn the two connections by hand so did not replace it. I did replace all the bearings and the output shaft was worn. That thread also shows all the gears inside this transfer case
That's good that your VC was okay. I have one in my black 98 that took out the front differential, and I discovered it after replacing all of the front control arms. The fluid had been black the three times I changed it in about a year. It was obviously(now) bad when I bought the truck, but hadn't locked up yet. I took out the front shaft and drove it for work another year after that. I have the new parts to rebuild the TC, when I make time to do it, after the trans.
I only had luck doing the same and having my shaft rebuilt. The slip on CV’s and remanufactured units (over 300) failed in months.
My driveshaft is solid up to the CV joint at the transfer case which moves in and out about 2.5 ". Being solid it has to compress to go into the fit and both the differential and transfer don't move. This picture is not the same as what I have installed but it shows the shaft the best.
No I stated I wasn’t sure. Just an idea. You are a joke. Now a sad joke arguing that, tilt, which I’ve already proven is correct, is incorrect. You really have a problem. I hope you have supportive people who actually put up with this. If not I’m sure u are a sad lonely “man”.... also reread all the stuff I pointed out you said wrong and you should see it. Many things like the angle of axles never changing ever. That the front angle of cv isn’t a u joint not bc angle but smoothness (correct smoothness, because of angle bud).... I have not tried I have succeeded in all I have said. You can take your inability to read and now even agree with yourself and go find someone to listen to all your incorrect information. I’m glad you can google. Have fun. Happy trails. Stop talking.
That awesome man. How does it preform with that many miles. Little bit of blow by???
I saw that. When they talk later about the Parking any front drive they refer to it as gear viscous coupling. But yes. Best test is hot day in parking lot. Full lock. Should idle in circles with no noises.
Yeah, you don’t tell me what to do. I’ll post as much and whatever I like.
Like new . I broke it in gently for the first 1,000 miles the treated like normal - Yes I bounce it around off-road and think it is a race car. I take it places that some jeeps cannot do - they sit in the mud with one front tire turning an one rear tire turning, and I surprise these rice burners regulalry. Head was shaved 0.10 and I have .15 over pistons so the 302 acts like a 350. Uses like 8 ounces of oil every 10,000 mile oil change. But to get back on subject....
It does now. Only issue is the bolts backing out.
