Great video. For anyone in a bind and can’t afford the rebuild kit, these T cases sell for about 50$ at pull a parts

Good video. Thank you very much. I have never seen transfer case parts that are as badly worn as some of those ones. Although we probably had a couple of NP 208 from our old GMC plow trucks that probably would have been in that condition if we had disassembled them.

these were some parts that i saved to make the video, I have another channel that i am a bit more active on. Gearbox Garage

Would this lock the drive shaft up to where it binds and wont spin ?

Question for ya. So, transfer case works for everything. I can use two wheel drive, 4x4 full, 4x4 part, and can feel the torque for 4x4 low. Front driveline does not engage for any of the 4x4 functions, I read that the shift detent ball could be stuck causing the range fork to slide in an out but I am unsure. Thoughts? It's a NP242J

I put a 232 in my ZJ and when I put it in to reverse it slams in to gear and the noise is coming from the t case it also slams when I put it in the drive as well but not as bad. This happens in two wheel drive or 4 wheel drive. The fluid looks clean. Any idea what the problem is?

That means it’s strong and good

How can you check the chain while in the unit? I don't see a new video from you on that. Thanks.

[@fairbanks4x4]

if its streched and making noise you can remove the front driveshaft and place unit in neutral and spin the front output yoke. however there is no way to determine a chain that is not making noise since the case components when assembled actually pull the chain taunt. But with them assembled you cant see inside.
