Tranny or T-case cracked!

[BobM]

As soon as I can, I will post pics of my tranny-T-case area. It seems that GL's forklift not only got the driveshaft, they got the tranny or T-case. It is the area that has the mounting bolts for the T-case. I don't know which this is because it is really between the two cases.
Anybody got a spare they wanna sell cheap?
The new driveshaft works great. If it wasn't for the constant drip of tranny fluid......

Bob, sounds like the transfer case adapter, mounts between the tranny case and tranfer case. Those should be readilly available for cheep, same as the civilian used several years, but gotta be for a turbo 400 tranny.

I have a spare xcase. 200 to you shipped. bout half that is in the shipping. please pm if your interested.

If it's the adapter, let me know. I just pulled the tranny out of an M1009 and have the adapter already out. You're welcome to it for the shipping cost.

The TC side has a gasket and the tranny side has an oil seal with, sometimes, a gasket. All are current Chevy parts. If you need the Chevy part numbers, let me know. The cost of the gasket and seal is around $10.

If you crack the TC and tranny from the TC adapter the threads are usually pretty cruddy. Chase the threads with a tap to clean them and get any old thread lock out. That'll make it a lot easier to get a tight fit and correct torque.
EDIT
On the bright side it's a good chance to change the fluids.

find a GOOD welder and let him zap it for you ( A GOOD WELDER)

 

[BobM]

I couldn't fit the camera up in there, but it seems that the adapter is all that is hurt. It is cracked almost completely around the adapter. I can't see any cracks in either the transmission or the T-case. I think it is WAAAY beyond welding!
Lance I will PM you.

Bob I know you got a offer, but if you need any other parts their is a guy in St Louis trying to sell m1008 minus axle's and bed. He has it listed on craigslist St Louis. He seems nice enough I called him about a dashpad,but his is cracked.

Thanks, I'll look up the add "just in case"!

If you come to find either your tranny or transfer case are cracked, let me know. I have both, still bolted together, out of my M1008.

Yeah, you did the 700R4 swap didn't you? That is something that I really want to look into!

 

[Croatan_Kid]

It's getting pulled out and put up for sale soon.

The 700? How soon?

 

[Croatan_Kid]

Well, actually, all of it! The 6.2, 700R4, and NP208. I'm not sure how soon though. I think I'm going to keep it in the truck right up until I gather all the stuff to put in the Cummins/NV4500/NP205.

I've got another guy interested in it too, must be something special

 

[CCATLETT1984]

hows your front driveshaft? (you'll need a different one for the new drivetrain)

 

[Croatan_Kid]

I'll need two new driveshafts actually. Fixed yoke NP205 I think the front one needs to be a little longer as it sits, I moved it forward 1.5" then add the 4" of lift.....so I think it's about maxed out!

 

[CCATLETT1984]

so, maybe you'd sell that front shaft

Keep me informed, will ya? I think I really want a 700.
Any idea on how much?

 

[Croatan_Kid]

Not sure yet. I'll let you know when I take it out.

Search back and find the thread I started about building and swapping it into my truck. This transmission is full of beefy parts and won't even break a sweat behind a 6.2.
