2 projects that I hope to tackle next are the PTO gear installation and a new exhaust. The existing exhaust was paper thin and full of holes. I made some welds to keep things together for the time being but a recent log crossing destroyed what was left of some seriously corroded pipe. Anyways, the exhaust I can handle with relative ease, the PTO gear is a project of a different magnitude.
Pulled and installed many a trans but moving around some of the spares that I have, their mass rivals everything I've dealt with before. In the past I have always removed all transfer cases separate from transmissions. I don't want to pull the trans if I don't have to and so the only benefit to doing so would be the chance to change the rear main and install a new clutch.
I would rather split the transfer case while attached to the transmission if possible but will ultimately do what's easiest.
So what's the consensus...
Option
A - Pull trans and t-case as a unit, split outside of truck, install gear and new clutch.
B - split t case on truck and only install gear.
C - pull t case and split outside of truck, only install gear.
There isn't a huge amount of info on MUD for this process. And NO info on JUST installing a pto gear.
