5t xcase

[73m819]

well it seems that my xcase went in the crap-per coming back from the ga rally, it had been making a bit of noise every now and then( never saw any metal when checking the oil), at the rally it would not go into low(still wont), coming back, started to make one he-ll of a racket with the shift leaver jumping all over the place, never jumped out of gear, though i thought it would, got into gainesville, the noise stopped and the shift lever was as smooth as it used to be.

any thought on this????, anybody have a GOOD 5t xcase, if so how much???, if i rebuild it ,ill have to put new bearing, ect. because of the metal I'm sure ill find in everything. a good used one may be cheaper in the long run

know matter what it has to come out@#$%^&**&*^$

transfer case

I believe I have one if needed. Got one with some other stuff from GL and don't need it. PM me if interested, I'll sell it reasonable.

Interested in how you will be removing the transfer case from your truck. Have to do this to our tractor (won't engage high gear) and will be taking the case out of the spare truck (see other thread).

i plan to pull the floor panel and one way or another, lower it down with come-a-longs, use small snatch blocks to change cable direction if need be, make a lift fixture to bolt to where the xcase splits

On the tractor, I don't think I can get the case out from under the truck without tipping the case over on its side or lifting the truck rear end up and rolling the case out. Have to take more measurements.

if i can get it down without killing myself, ill get out from under some way, trans was a peice of cake, i think getting it down will be the BIG hassle

I know deuce transfers are only 700# or so but I use an engine crane through the passenger door and drop them on a piece of heavy plywood then drag the plywood out with the 4 wheeler. Reverse for install.

i would guess a 5t xcase weights about 1000#, i plan to ues a pipe through the back window and the front like i did for the trans, if that does not work then on to plan b, c, d, ect

Hi...73m819 ) I agree totally, LONG LIVE BIG GREEN IRON. :_))))

On this xcase fiasco you have, in the NG we used a wrecker for one case removal which went slicker than anything, had it out in minutes.. The second time we didn't have the wrecker so we used a tranny jack rated for 500# and it worked slick.. There are options alot safer than chains, wood and pipes...
I recommend using a wrecker and sliding the hook between the bed and cab and easing it down that way.
You need 2-people and a spotter.. The case doesn't weigh over 500#, not unless it's a 10-ton truck..

The second time we didn't have the wrecker and used a 500# tranny jack which worked slick as well..Oh, one thing I forgot to mention.. When you get the transfer out you hook-up a link-shaft from the transmission to the rear-end and you can drive the truck instead of moving the transfer.. Don't move it very far but you can move it just to access the case..
