Cleaning up the Transfer Case

Well the truck got out of storage early so a few mods are getting done before beating on her for another season. Transfer case is getting new bearings, seals, level indicator, 1350 output yoke and some sweet billet covers. Cleaned her up in preparation for the POR15.

Well the POR15 is on, left the old covers on to save the trouble of masking. Next are the bearings and the bling covers.

Bearings, seals, bearing retainers, billet covers installed:

Looking good. Wanna do mine next?

Hmmmmmmmmmm, no. My old fat ass had fun enough wrestling with this one .

I just about dropped a nut the last time I heaved mine up onto the trans and bolted it in.

I hear you on that

That's why I enjoy the 1356. Changing it is like walkin into the beer store with a case of empties and walking out with a new case. Lol.
Not quite as enjoyable as the beer though.

Looks good, I'm with Schmitty, wanna do mine too? Been debating on the 1356 swap, but just can't seem to bring my self to it.

Well it's back in the truck and the new 4" heavy duty driveshaft gets ordered tomorrow. It will take longer to find time to drive down (2.5hrs) to pick it up and get it painted than anything else.

Wow, look at them fancy covers!!!

Well got the call today the new 4" driveshaft was done, so 5 hours round trip and out to the painter but now the painter is backed up . Hopefully have it back by the end of next week and installed.

Where did you get the new cover and retainers? Those are NICE!!!!!!!!!! Like the air hose fittings and hose for a oil level indicator too.

I got the rebuild kit and billet parts from NorthWest Fabworks, great guys to deal with:

Well finally got everything back together, now just doing some runs to mesh the new gear set and then get to work cleaning, lots and lots of cleaning!

What is the reasoning other than looks for replacing the covers? I have never broken a cover before so wandering if that was a problem other are having.

I was changing bearings, retainers, gaskets and decided if I was had it out I would clean and paint it. The billet pieces are just bling, but I like it

Ok Thank You I was just wondering
