Transfer case rebuild - needed soon

[Paul Gagnon]

My tranfer case is making a funny ping ping sound every once in a while when I change direction and there seems to be a lot of slack in the driveline. I'm guessing that the chain needs to be replaced. As soon as I get a job I'll be tearing it down. Have any of you rebuilt your own transfer case yet? Can I get away with just a chain or do I need a whole re-build kit? Or am I guessing wrong?

Or, how bout getting a job, then getting an Atlas II Well, if things don't turn out right, I'll have one available for sale in the middle of summer

Not gonna see an Atlas II under my truck. At $2400 US that would be close to $3800 Canadian at today's exchange rate. I'm not going to spend that kind of money on a transfer case!!!!

Paul, don't drive it anymore than you have to. If the chain is that loose it will rub a hole in the case, and there goes the gear lube, followed closely by the case. I've seen it happen to a couple of fullsize B/W cases.

When my transfer case blew up, it cost $1300 to tear down, rebuild, and reinstall.

They ended up replacing everything inside it.

I'd call around for the cost of a rebuild kit.

And then think of hitting the junk yards for one.

Hey Paul, I've got a good xfer case from my '92 Sport I'll sell ya for $150 US (That's $235 Canadian as of yesterday's exchange rate). The case is in very good conditon.

Hey is that case an automatic or lever operated, if it is a lever I'll take it

 

[JDraper]

It's pushbutton. I don't know if it could be converted or not.

No, it can't be converted to manual. The shift linkage is on the opposite side.
