WRECKER TOWING

[DaveP]

one of the manuals i have tells to just put the transfer case in neutral when lift towing. anyone know if the t case will be damaged this way? i was thinking the drive shaft between #2 axle and the t case should be pulled. any suggestions? comments? opinion's?

After a hundred miles or so, bad things happen. I'd pull the shaft. Matt has toasted more than one deuce TC being lazy.

Thanks Kenny. this is what i expected but i have not had the t cases on these apart yet so i thought id better ask. we have pulled the shafts when towing to be safe it's just after reading the manual i was'nt sure if it was needed.

the truck i just towed had its shaft removed. is it the fact that the transfer would be on a angle that would mess it up. like to get the whole story on that for future adventures Tim

probably a lubrication issue.
