Transfer case noise

Kennyray · 10-08-2008, 08:43 AM

Ok here goes one of the minor problems I have with my truck is the transfer case making noise in 2hi. Sounds almost like gears are grinding once in awhile. In order for me to drive it I have my front driveshaft off, front axle actuater disconnected and my selector in 4 hi. It doesn't bother me because since I moved south ( got out of the snowbelt) I haven't needed 4 wheel drive. Other than replacing the transfer case, is there rebiuld kits out there at a reasonable cost.

I think I know this one. It's a 241c case right. There is snap ring that holds the rear output shaft in place, it broke. To test this pull the rear drive shaft. Then grab the output shaft and push it in and out. It should not move. If it does remove the tail housing and look for the peices of the snap ring. You can just replace the ring but the grinding that you hear is a brass ring that engages the 4wd. Since brass will not stick to a magnet it is hard to get it out of the case. Those peices of metal will shorten the life of the case.

Thanks, I'll check it out the next time I get a chance, and your right, it is a 241c. Wiil post back with results when I can get to it.
