My truck is having some serious issues in 4x4. Clicking, clunking, skipping, jerking, reasonably loud and violent issues. Riding in 2wd seems like a valid short term solution, but I promise, it's not. We had to pull that truck out of something 3 times so far this week.
Sounds/feels like it's coming from the transfer case. I was in the search for a rebuilt one and my parts dude talked me into getting a rebuild kit for it instead.
Besides a chain, it seems to all be bearings and seals. I'm assuming there is something else in there that is broken, but won't know till I get it apart.
It looks like a LOT of pressing things in and out and not a lot of shit that looks like it will fix the issues.
It's my only ride, I can't have it down for weeks. Local trans shop is out 3 month's right now. Local salvage yards are free out of them.
Anyone done this? Hordpower maybe? (for some reason if I'm over my head technically on anything mechanical at all I always feel like JD has done it before... )
