Broken T-case adapter, yet again... 1028

[cucvTater]

Military Chevy Pick-up 1.25 ton. Gas motor, TH400 trans to NP208 T-case. This is the 2nd broken T-case adapter I've had in last 5,000 miles. I'm thinking of replacing my stock motor mounts and the trans mount on cross-member. Anything else I can replace? Anyone have any ideas as to what is happening? Right now I'm at a loss . I'll need the truck for hauling firewood and heavy loads soon...


Thanks

Do you have the t-case braces setup from the civy trucks? That helps prevent a lot of this.

Not running any T-case braces... Hmm. Do you know any aftermarket supplier?

Thanks

No, it's a civy factory part. Not sure if it can be had from the dealership. But a junk yard might have them.

I'd say that 90% of the time the adapter breaks because the drive shaft bottoms out! I have lots of braces if you want one for a small fee. Personally I dont think its a must have item but it doesn't hurt too!
