I disassembled the knuckles and found the king pins were worn well past the tolerance. I have a reconditioned axle housing on order with new bushings, wish I had paid closer attention to the king pins the first time. (live and learn) Thanks for the help.

I'll pull the tires and check the play later this week, I'm pretty sure it's the king pins, When we got the used front axle I checked the bushings and pins the pins showed about .002 wear I felt like we could changed the bushings and be OK. looks like I was wrong, I don't know where to buy a...

I'm having a problem with my steering axle (rockwell 2.5). the front end wobbles while driving down any road smooth or rough. I jacked up the front of the truck and used a 6' pry bar to lift each tire looking for loose bearings what I found was a huge amount of play coming from the king pins. I...

thanks

what is the oil capacity of a 136-27 transfer case? Thanks.

Thanks, parts are on the way!

The bearings have arrived and the case is cleaned, where I fell short was finding a good source for the gaskets and seals. does anybody have a suggestion on where I could purchase gaskets, oil seals and shims? Thanks

Great advice! I'll make sure I pay attention in those areas. My son was excited to hear about the lower cost on the replacement parts, I'm sure he wants his truck back up and running as quick as I do (probably more than I do).

Better news I was able to track down the bearings through a company in New York, the high load shaft bearings that were $110 ea are now $33.50 and the two case bearings have come down from $230.00 to $95.00. I did not have to compromise on the brands I can still use BCA, SKF, and FAG. I should...

Well I have the transfer case completely disassembled, the good news is I only have a few minor problems (two bearings on the input shaft need to be replaced). I found the shaft end play was caused by the rear retainer clip was broken and laying in the cover plate. the good news is the shaft (or...

Awesome pictures thanks! by the looks of things I am only missing the front nut and washer. I have a manual on the way. I wanted to start the disassembly yesterday but life got in the way. I'm taking the T.C. to my shop tomorrow and hopefully I'll start taking it apart, I'm right in the middle...

The companion flange (the attachment flange for the driveshaft ) is there. The retainer is still there (if we are talking about the cover plate bolted to the main cover). What I do know is missing is the washer, nut and cotter pin on the front side of the input shaft. you brought an interesting...

Thanks, I'll look for the manuals I understand what you said about the cost if the transfer case needs a lot of work. the front bearing is $160.00 I'm hoping the inside look decent (of course that would not be my luck ha ha). If I need to replace the front bearing along with the missing nut and...

Hi, I'm new to working on military transfer cases and need your help. I have a used T136-27 air shift transfer case. the pinion nut and washer are missing from the input shaft. when spinning the input shaft it walks front to back and makes noise. I will be starting a tear down tomorrow to see if...
