    NP 208 transfer case brace

    OK, come on now. I said to stop the stupid theory thing. For one they pretty much stopped using this rod after they dropped (stopped using) the NP205 transfer-case. So the NP208 never really had the support rod. I know a few did, but they are extremely rare. For another thing the case doesn't...

    NP 208 transfer case brace

    We where not talking "mission critical" here but is that rod helpful. The answer is "yes" that rod and the two on the lower housing are extremely helpful. And again no one will answer the question I posted. If this rod is so "useless" then why did GM even have it ? Come on guys, if you cannot...

    NP 208 transfer case brace

    I don't think we are talking about the same rod. Yes it is in the same place but the factory rod I remember is a solid forged round bar that works pulling and pushing. It is not some "tweaky" little rod. It is also not mounted horizontally, but at an angle. Mounted high on the transmission and...

    NP 208 transfer case brace

    Again you fail to look at this as a functioning unit. The "front" of the transfer-case is bolted down to the rear cross-member. Yes there is some give in the rubber mount but not much, so if that whole engine/transmission/transfer-case unit is moving then yes that "rod" adds a tremendous amount...

    NP 208 transfer case brace

    OK, lets look at an engine under load (or torque) . Which way is the engine turning ? When your looking at the front of an engine the crank is turning clockwise. Or when your sitting in the drivers seat the engine is turning counter-clock-wise. This means when the engine is under heavy load or...

    NP 208 transfer case brace

    Well then you would know (living under the laws of physics) that anything added to our trucks to increase it's strength is a "good" thing and not a "bad" thing. So why argue about something "good" ? Unless of course you just like to argue. I will ask you just one question though. Considering how...

    NP 208 transfer case brace

    Due to the excessive weight of the cast iron NP205 transfer-case GM installed those brace rods. Later when they went to the lighter aluminum 208 transfer-case they felt they didn't need them anymore, though they still had the two bolt holes drilled and tapped out. The two front braces are to...
