Since I was not able to find an Oem TV cable, I experimented with a TV cable that was a few inches longer and it worked out great with the adjustment. See part Y-225. Sold on Amazon for only $15. See pics.

700r4/np208, 4.56 gears and 37” tires, I get up to 80mph and it is still not screaming.
U should Do the nv4500 or 4l80e swap. Much cheaper and stronger.
The older np208 transfer case’s are designed to have part #12, which is the trans/t-case support rod. It prevents the transmission case and bell housing from cracking. They are not made anymore and are quite rare to find. If your np208 has those 2 bolt holes for the support rod, then I recommend...
Easy fix! You can do it my brotha from another mother. I give it a 2 1/2 hr time frame.

This morning I plugged in the CUCV with the intent to drive it to the shop and work on it. After doing 2 loads of dishes, all the laundry and clean house, I thought an old man nap was needed. When I woke up, the wife was back from work and demanded more work out of me. Now it’s about 8pm and I...
I put gorilla tape on my soft top windows to cover all the cracks. Hope to get another winter out of this topper. Got a new one already for next spring.
Also bought my old set of aluminum rims back from the junkyard today. I am ditching the beadlocks until I can afford some 40’s.
Also ordered...
Step 14
Fill up transmission and transfer case with full synthetic ATF and enjoy that extra 4th gear, better mpg and low crawling 1st gear!
All done! Thanks for looking and I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!
Step 13 (Optional)
Delete all vacuum lines and remove vacuum pump.
If you are on a budget, you can modify your old vacuum pump gear drive by removing the top vacuum pump, installing a pressed cap on top and a plate on the side as seen in pics 1-3
Or you can buy a 6.5 oil pump gear drive...
Step 11
Plug in the transfer case 4x4 indicator plug on the top of the np208. This is the only electrical connection needed for a pre 1986 700r4 swap. Pic 1
Step 12
If you have a warranty on your 700r4, I recommend having the transmission shop install the tv cable bracket, tv cable rod, tv...

This review is in regards to my newly purchased Trailworthyfab.com 24 bolt beadlocks with 3” backspacing, pressed centers, custom rock rings and pvc inserts.
Pros:
1. Well crafted!
2. Beautiful powder coating
3. Heavy duty and pretty much indestructible
4. Very nice and...
Agreed! The p400 components are indeed better! So far, I have not seen any documentation on any P400 blocks cracking or heads cracking. I also have not seen any documation of an older block, that has been crack proofed to have actually cracked. That is why I made the comparison.
Love the motor...
So both the 6.2 and 6.5 is “Knocking”, I would try and figure out what the knocking noise is before you go crazy on spending huge amounts of money. Could be something simple, like a bad injector, lifter or ip timing could be off.
Steel crank is not needed. Waste of money. Crank failure is cause...
