    Slip yoke issue...

    Well now I wondering if the drive shaft was replaced at some point. It has outside snap rings on the yoke. I just replaced both u-joints a couple months ago because the rear joint was shot. The t-case is a reman from a local builder that worked his whole career at New Process, so everything is...

    Yep, 2 of them about 20 miles either direction.

    Slip yoke issue...

    That couldn't have been to good on the transfer case if it compressed that far. I was rear ended once driving my F-150 4x4 by a Beretta. The rear springs were wrapped around the axle, drive shaft of course driven forward. Even after repairing everything, the engine wasn't even right after that...

    Slip yoke issue...

    In post #2 you said "You need a front slip joint for an M1008 rear drive shaft". So is it M1008 specific, as in the military spec'd a different yoke? I'd like to get one locally, my speed shop told me there warehouse should have what I need if I had a part number. Any of our local shops can get...

    Slip yoke issue...

    I would prefer new and early this morning found a few part numbers that would probably be compatible with most all GM 4x4 trucks. Does the M1008 use a different slip yoke than the rest of the GM line? This yoke is what's mostly used but has inside snap rings...

    Slip yoke issue...

    I finally got my new t-case installed and got to looking at the slip yoke and I'm thinking I'd much rather replace it. It has a bit of a groove worn into it with one spot that is deeper than the rest of the circumference. I've tried to reference the part number from TM 34p but coming up empty...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    That quot is thrown around on a firearms forum on all the time that I belong to, and for good reason. For the majority of parts/tools. There's times you can't afford something to fail. I still get cheap at times lol.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    PM 34p shows a different part number, 14028931, which is discontinued through GM. After more looking the ones listed on Amazon are still available through GM. Amazon has a starter listed for CUCV and also lists the same bracket with it, it's a gear reduction starter. So apparently they don't...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I don't have a transjack or help unfortunately. Thankfully the 208 isn't all that heavy and goes in pretty easily, even with a shot back. I lay on my creeper and roll it onto my belly. Then it's one rep of a bench press and it's in lol. Wouldn't do that with a 205 though lol. I'll check out...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I'm glad you guys are having problems breaking starter bolts lol, it reminds me I need a starter bracket. I just don;t understand why some people don't put them back on when they have a starter out. I don't have enough fingers to count how many trucks I've had that were missing that bracket. On...

    NP208 no high range

    I happened across a shop advertising on CL that is a bit over an hour away from me. The shop owner worked for NP in Syracuse fro 28 years as an engineer and know the NP product line inside and out. He has a couple used t-cases that he'd guarantee for 3 months but the more I thought about it I...

    NP208 no high range

    I crawled under the truck today to check out how well the t-case shifted and it definitely wasn't like it was before I installed it, very stiff in spots, gritty, and sloppy in others. It surely had problems before I bought it but had no way of knowing. I drained the fluids, if you've had any...

    NP208 no high range

    It kinda burns me because I just put this t-case in a few months ago, the last one burned up when it dumped it's fluid on a trip back out of Pa. It was used and got a steel on it but I do remember checking everything that I could before I payed for it and it shifted nice and tight, no slop. It...

    NP208 no high range

    I had a reoccurring problem again tonight that I thought was a tranny issue. Had no forward or reverse and all sorts of noise. T-case shifter was firmly in 2H, tried 4H with same results. After sitting on the side of the road getting more po'd by the moment something told me to try 4L. Bingo...I...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    +1 on the clear line where possible. I changed mine out with a clear yellow line that we run on snowmobiles, it doesn't get hard and stays clear. Makes it so easy to see any bubbles. That was the first place I looked when I had problems with the stock filter base. On another note, my tranny...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Thanks, rusty. I just picked up a filter and fluid an am making a spacer that fits correctly to secure the filter. It acted fine last night so I'll take it out for a drive when I get her back together. I know someone who has a rebuilt th400 but it came out of a car, I don't know if the tail...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Ok to add to this, can a bad torque converter be, for a better lack of words, random? After searching YouTube I found some bad torque converter videos that sounded a lot like what I heard yesterday. At one point after the problems started and before I got a tow it did drive on it's own quietly...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I took a look through the 34p PM and seen there is a sleeve spacer supposed to be there and watched a video of a th400 teardown where the guy had one drop out when he pulled the filter, he didn't know where it come from. I bet one of the POs lost it. Easy enough to make another. Of the correct...
