Hey mate

I see no one has replied yet, so I'll help keep your thread alive with a free bump

Now what's a Klune V

Northwestfab is making something similar. Right now their site sucks, but they had some awesome pictures of a crawl box for the LCs.

"an underdrive gearbox that bolts in place between the transmission and transfer case. we call it "extreme," because the underdrive multiplies your existing gear reduction by up to 4 times, rather than a usual underdrive of 1.2 times, or so. It is intended for extreme four-wheel-drive applications, rather than towing or gear splitting in a big truck. It works equally well with both manual and automatic transmissions."

Just having some issues with mine or the t-case. Unfortunately they are discontinued...

Looking for some insight. Cant get my t-case into low. Random noise occurs while Im driving that sounds like something
is trying to engage( I assumed it might be the klune but after some further tinkering I dont think its the problem. One of those oh s*** noises that makes you start to pull over and call a tow truck. T case oil is super clean and full.

Thanks for the explanation Port, sounds like the opposite to a Farley overdrive

Exactly. Read up on "doublers" and / or "crawl boxes".

Can't get the transfer case into low, but you suspect that something is wrong with the Klune? Any problems shifting between 2 and 4wd? There should be no grinding when shifting, but maybe before and after.

You state that there's a random noise while driving. Does the noise occur while driving in 2wd, 4wd or both? Does the noise seem to start after going over a bump or anything, maybe a pothole?

Do you have the factory transfercase shifter or a custom twin-stick setup for the transfer case?

You do have the split-case, correct?
