Trying NOT to slay the Draggin'

[Mullaney]

Thanks! May have to start carrying some of that. I managed to have success using the cringe worthy method of holding the lines w/ vice grips while turning the nuts.
Few hundred miles later and all is working good in that department! Now the current issue is w/ my T-case. It's throwing a lot of oil so I know a least one seal is bad but it's also popping out of low range. Wondering if that could be and adjustment since the lever sits right on the floor when in low and maybe that's not engaging it far enough? Or is it something internal?

Might very well be that the TC lever needs adjustment (like you mentioned). Remove the floor board and see if it works a little better? If so, a little adjustment will improve it - before you ruin it - by running it partially engaged.

That's a good idea! Now that we're at our destination and I have the trailer unhooked I can try such a thing. As far as running it in that condition, one it started to happen I quit using low range until I could figure out what was happening. This latest trip has been almost entirely pavement, so high range only.
Time to check into how it's adjusted.

Does any one else have their T-case lever hit the edge of the passenger seat when it's in high range?
