... still trying to decide how I want to go about getting a new 4/0 starter cable though.
^ I can vouch for this company, I'm using their cables on my M1008; they do good work and the material quality is excellent.Have one made with marine grade wire, and whatever connectors you like. I like the clear heat shrink on both ends. That way I can see if any corrosion is hiding under there.
That looks better than the 14bolt on my 86 M1008Does anyone know if JB weld will work on a 208 transfer case? Mine was leaking and I found the source.
I’ve gotta know how that happened!Does anyone know if JB weld will work on a 208 transfer case? Mine was leaking and I found the source.
Yeah, no problem. Just make sure you reinforce it with a little duct tape. It'll be good as new.Does anyone know if JB weld will work on a 208 transfer case? Mine was leaking and I found the source.
Well, that is the million dollar question. My son was driving it while I was at the GA rally. I have my suspicions. First let me explain this. The lockout hubs are engaged 95% of the time. Where this truck sits, 4wd is required to get it out. My son had reported a vibration in the transmission shifter. This truck is a stick shift. I drove it and noted the same but didn't have time to troubleshoot. He drove the garbage to the dump and on the way home it grenaded. Oddly, he was able to limp it home a mile like that. The front driveshaft is gone. No idea where it went. The driveshaft flange has 2 sheared bolts and 2 missing. No thread damage to the missing bolt holes. I have a strong feeling that those bolts loosened and back out. With the hubs locked, when they finally got loose enough it slung the shaft around and did all the collateral damage. The floorboards is beaten up at least 2". Quite catastrophic.I’ve gotta know how that happened!
Man, when you grenade a transfer-case you don't fool around !Does anyone know if JB weld will work on a 208 transfer case? Mine was leaking and I found the source.

My diagnosis of the cause is that the CV joint on the front drive shaft locked up and could not articulate/compress properly and forced the pressure back against the transfer case.( the weakest link) I had it happen on plow trucks. 2 already snapped at highway speed and broke the transfer case the spacer and the flange from the rear of the transmission. One on the 205 case broke the bell of the transmission. More like a crack but a big crack that pushed back and forth on the lot till I limped it back to the shop. That is my diagnosis as to the cause. Guess I'll never know if I am correct but that is a duplicate of the carnage I have seen with each front drive shaft CV failure from lack of grease and lock up. Glad you were able to fix it. Happy Holidays.Papa always said, any job worth doing, is worth doing 100%. I feel that he would be proud.
