Ranger OD Box has been around a long time through Advance Adapters. They are noisy to some because they have straight cut gears and whine. Some don't like them for the whine some don't care - it is the same type of noise as straight cut timing gears. You can tame the noise some by using good...

Anyone switch from the 304 Jeep to a chevy 350 engine??? ???

I've got a 2006 Frontier 4x4 V6- 6 speed manual. I was using it to move some trailers around my yard and had it in 4x4 low range to do so. I really haven't used the 4x4 much but the switch into and out did seem to work - before. This time it seemed to take quite awhile for it to go into 4x4...

Thanks I guess I'll still keep figuring on it. LBM

I have an 1989 Chevy Suburban 3/4T 4x4, 350 V8. And I have a known good 1978 Toyota H2 tranny/transfer case(non split case) left over from an old project. I really like the way that tranny shifts so I'd like to use it. What I'm planning to do is put the Toyota 4 speed into the Suburban. I...

This Piggy has moved on to "another Place" gone to see its maker!!! I tried to pull the entire thread down - best I could do is Edit the first Thread and delete what I could to save space. LBM

OK I'll pull it tomorrow. You can send me an email to motovate@q.com with an offer and your address. I'm pretty sure it is good but I'll make sure tomorrow. LBM

This Piggy has gone to see it's maker - or will soon do so! I deleted what I could to save space but could not figure out how to take the entire thread down. Please feel free to pull it down. I tried to make it work - just too far gone to do so. "Sae La Vie said the old man it goes to show...

Thanks - it looks like it is installed - have you run it around and had a problem or just anticipating a problem?? LBM

Is the issue that it hangs down too far??? How did it finally work????? I'm looking at the same tank. Also what else did you need and did it come with a Fuel Gauge sending unit or did you use the stock one??. Thanks - LBM

Thanks again - I just got a little more info. The 40 I am looking at has a split case 4 speed (?) adapted to a 3 speed transfer case. I thought it was a 4 speed mated to a split case. So the 4 speed might be a later 81 on model possibly from an FJ60? I didn't realize there were split case 4...

Great info - thanks. LBM

Thanks for the clarity on the 4 speed case - I wasn't sure & that's why the (?) Didn't quite get the "opinion" I was looking for but reading into it maybe there is not that much difference in 3 speed vs 4 speed pre 81 T/C's other then the difference in ratio's and possibly case strength...

Lots of transfer case info and I've looked at a lot of it. I'm looking for some input & why's/ why not's if a case brakes. I have a good 66 FJ40 with 3 speed vacuum shift which is I believe the early 3 speed case and a little lower ratio. I also have a a good stock 78 FJ 40 4 speed with...

Did this work or did you go another way??. LBM
