In my quest for the conversion from the sprag to the air shift, I have acquired two air shift cases with their own unique problems at a fair price.
In the pictures, you'll see that the one on the left has a broken mount. I assume this was broken when the truck that it was in was rear ended and totaled.
The other case was replaced by the now broken case because it was having trouble shifting between ranges, would not shift on the fly, and when the oil was taken out, some "pieces" came out.
Now, I can attempt to weld what appears to be a cast iron mount, or I can make one case out of two.
I have downloaded and printed the TM for the transfer case but I haven't read it thoroughly yet to know what I can do.
If it would be cheap, fast and dirty to put the internals from the broken mount case into the good case of the other transfer case, then I just might tackle that.
If I'm going to have to replace a lot of parts just by tearing down the case, then I will attempt to weld the cast iron with some inconel or high nickel rod, but I'm worried about preheat and post heat on that big case.
Thoughts?
