that is a good point- what i got to thinking though, is it is locked in one direction, then it freewheels the other, if I have it engaged, wouldn't it just slip when I changed from reverse to first, then lock up when I went back to first (or vice versa, I'm not sure which direction it will lock...

I had considered getting the entire airshift case- I could install that at my old place but doubt I could at the new place. Both because the driveway is very sloped and I have a hard enough time on a creeper, plus the neighbors would run my ass out. It's all well and good that my truck is...

very cool, I'd love to see the pic as well :burger: (not sure what this guy eating the burger is about though <<<) had I known you'd meet up with him I'd have asked you to personally thank him, I've learned a TON from his wonderful articles in MVM and look forward to more

well, in thinking about it more, I believe one of the two sprags is destroyed, it must have taken some abuse before, but that's why it isn't working. I notice that I can completely lock the gear to the shaft in one direction, then by manipulating the shifter rod position that moves the collar...

I've seen alternators go on cars with less than 100 miles. It only takes one stressful situation, mainly trying to charge a weak battery, that will kill them. It works twice as hard and usually the regulators fail. Always make sure you charge your batteries fully before running the engine...

thanks guys- so then my question is- If I add a shifter lever to this shifter rod that is on my output, much like the one shown in the pictures, and I engage that rather than waiting for the questionable linkage from the tranny to the t-case (the one that has the cylinder that I believe...

THANKS A BUNCH! :hop: I think I'm starting to get the sprag a little more- just pissin' around in the shop and cleaning up my output, allowing me to play with the sprag. So is there a quick rundown of exactly how this sprag works- namely, how does it sense slippage, thus applying...

I'm looking for any and all info I can find on this kit- Mainly, how you can tell if it's been installed. Dave popped off the cover of that case and found gears that looked just like the standard sprag, but it has a manua; shifter making me more confused. Are there any visual differences...

well, I have a leak on the front of the t-case. I suppose a bit of oil, even one drop could screw it all up, but the drum has always been very dry when I check it. It might need to be honed, as there is pitting and discoloration on it. I'm planning on new e-brake shoes, and when I do that...

sweet deal, Dave found the case he remembered seeing, it's got the shift lever so I asked that he pop the nose off and take a look at the gears. If that's the one I can then exchange my air case. My fingers are crossed.......

oh no worries, that will be a second brake, and may actually help to slow the truck down by another foot in a panic stop if my brakes go, who knows. I will rig the cable for that onto the stock e-brake handle so they both engage. After tightening the cable up on my stock one, at full pull it...

some more:

thanks- that just so happens to be the other option I'm working on. The REB kit was my first choice, but at $482.51 for a set of gears and a shifter I wasn't impressed. Now I can see why they can charge so much. I told Dave I didn't want to take the whole case out now that I've gotten so...

well, my fears were true :freaked: the cases are NOT the same, as said the airshift has a different setup that goes into the case itself, not just the output cover. My case as you can see is left with a female hole when the sprag gear set is removed, the airshift has a solid shaft coming...

I'm in NV and use Gulfway as well, no restrictions, no garage required. $169 a year

and installed: :smilewinkgrin:

well, after thinking about it a while, I think I am screwed. I don't see any spot on my case for any sort of set screw or safety wire- If the clutch from the air case did have a shaft as shown on my set of gears there, how would it be held in place? Does this mean I need to take the whole...

Well, I ran into a slight roadblock in my airshift swap. I got the output cover off, and without even unbolting the transfer case itself. BUT, it turns out you need more than just the output cover. INside the sprag case there is a set of gears, in the air case there are two clutches. I got...

well, Dave was right about maybe needing to unbolt the case and move it. I got the output cover unbolted, speedo drive off, sprag linkage semi-undone, fluid drained, but the stupid cover just won't come off. There isn't enough room without undoing half the truck, so it's a good thing I'm the...

:confused: I'll get another of the M109 that's been parked on a flat tire for years back by my old house
