Nice rig. I am curious how the Suburban handled towing it. Did you feel underpowered? I am still waiting to get mine on a trailer and tow it with my Sub.
I would stay away. I took mine to him when I first bought it and he forgot the vaseline. I also wanted some of the extra parts (or those I bought at his direction and did not work), but he "no longer had them." He also disappeared from me when things were not working right.
Since then, I...
It was actually my brother, but he said it was just at normal speed. Luckily, it was just in the drive way...
The cruiser had a high pitched whine whenever under accceleration that would go away as you let off the accelerator. We assumed it was the tcase (hence the spare already) and we were...
It is a one piece case. I think the split case came 8/80. I just found out the older t-case is from a 74. Is it possible to swap the finer splined output shaft from the 79 to the 74 t-case? From the picture above, it looks like the rest of the shaft that goes into the main part of the case...
Sorry for the vagueness. I have a 79 with stock 4 speed tranny. The spare transfer case is older, but I have no idea how much older. The main difference i havenoticed between the 79 t-case and this other one is that the older one has course splines in output shaft (I think that is what it is...
My transfer case exploded last week while pulling out of the drive way. It had been making a loud whining noise , but thought that may have just been normal.
Anyway, I have a spare tranny and transfer case from an older rig (don't know year). Will the t-case mate up with the newer tranny...
Old thread revival because I did search...
I just swapped my rear 3rd member on my 3/79 to 4.10. I already had a 4.10 up front(don't ask). Obviously, the flanges don't match. Is it better to swap the drive shaft flange or the pinion flange? I was going to snag the pinion flange off the...
I am replacing 3rd members now and can't find gasket material wider than 10 inches and the size needed is almost 11 inches. Does anyone reccomend taking the 10 inch and siliconing a piece to make it the right width?
I had the same problem. Once it was off, I had to beat the heck out of it to free it up. BTW, there is a spring and detent ball in there (mine flew out and was lost when I took it off).
