Got 'er did. Well, here's hoping the boys at Tobyhanna were on their "A" game when they rebuilt this transfer case in 1994. I had a momentary panic when the fill plug wouldn't bust free, but I got it. (Imagine mounting a new transfer but being unable to put fluid in it?) It's installed, the...

Congrats. So you'll replace the electric shutoff?

There's something about a truck with a giant vise mounted on the bumper that is just cool.

I'm new to ownership and in-depth maintenance on these trucks but since no one is responding, I'll take a stab at it. You say "not accepting fuel" and say that it does run on ether. It sounds like the guts of the emergency shutdown are jammed up and not opening when you reset the manual...

Hi Whata, I was able to get the speedometer angle drive out of the transfer case (from my previous post). Once I had decent lighting, I was able to see how it goes together. The sprag air hoses are dry and terrible so I'm having a new set made this afternoon. I hope to be healed up in time to...

Glamour for sure. The vertical "paddle" on your bumper looks like an antenna. What kind of radio system is it for? Do you actually use it?

Old transfer is removed from truck. New transfer is removed from shipping can. My neighbor the heavy truck supervisor was super helpful. Scrounger came by to view the progress and declared it satisfactory. Crazy amount of knowledge and stories in that soldier. Even after jacking up the truck...

The speedo angle drive doesn't want to come out of the transfer case. I can't seem to loosen the angle drive off of the large nut. I can spin the nut free of the transfer case but the angle drive bumps into the side and so it will not spin. I was being cautious. Does the angle drive separate...

Ok, I'm at the "swap" point with this transfer case replacement. Everything is disconnected, removed. The mounting bolts have been broken loose and the transfer is ready to be lowered down. Oddly, the biggest PITA of the day, was rolling the new transfer case out of my garage, around to where...

I really liked winfred's Snap-On Torq-O-Meter even though it's not a click-type. I just snagged one from Fleabay. I'll have it checked at the local Snap-On truck.

I saw in the -20 that the bearing outer adjusting nut had to be tightened down to 250-400 ft lb. Someone in a past PM said that the driver's side was LH threads which lead me to my question. I have a good bar-and-pointer type torque wrench that'll hit 150 ft. lbs.

Awesome, thanks. I kept finding torque wrenches that would allow you to tighten on LH threads, but they did not measure the torque...which seems kind of useless in my opinion.

My understanding is that click-type torque wrenches only measure torque in RH threaded applications. I've seen some that say "reversible" but that doesn't mean what it sounds like. Is there a truly reversible click-type torque wrench that will measure up to 350 ft. lbs for LH threaded...

Correct, mine has a cradle with adjustable legs to support odd shapes and a safety chain to wrap around the transfer case to secure it to the jack. The whole assembly is kind of an oblong triangular shape, but there is a flat section on the bottom that the jack will be able to support with good...

Wes, After following your posts you should know that I have nothing but respect for you, so don't think I'm dissing your advice. I'm sorry if my earlier post sounded melodramatic. I made it sound like I'm bumbling along when I actually have a plan. Let me give you a little more detail on that...

Just a note that B&M Military Surplus in Altoona, NY has gone out of business due to the owner's retirement. https://bandmmilitarysurplus.com/ Their inventory was bought up, but I don't know by whom.

After staring at the truck and the parts all summer, I am probably going to attempt to swap the new transfer case into my M813 this weekend. I bought a low profile, 2-ton transmission jack, and a 2-ton engine hoist to shuttle the transfer cases between the shipping can and the transmission...

I haven't given up, just been wrapped up with work and summer. Mainly, the issue is getting the new transfer case of the can and moving them around.

Ah, ok. It won't hurt the output shaft bearings to hang the T-case by them?

Looks great! You won't catch many speeders with that rig, though!
