1987 Slantback with 6.2 and currently with TH-400.
So, about to do a lot of stuff, and I figured if I'm gonna do a Bowtie 700R4 swap to my Slantback, I might as well consider swapping in a 2WD capable transfer case.
I want to do highway vacation driving, so 2WD should help with MPG relief.
What transfer cases are mechanical shift and suited to the job, and what will I need to do to adapt them to my 1987 HMMWV Slantback? Will I need new console shifter? Adapter plates? Input / Output shaft mods or adapters or replacements? That kinda' stuff.
[If this is the wrong forum, MOD's please forgive me and throw the post where you think it best fits.]
EDIT - January 14, 2023. I’ll save you some time reading the thread. Because we can’t install wheel hub locks and our whole wheel assemblies roll to allow for the inboard brakes, the 2WD option saves no energy and is a fool’s errand.
