can u guys please e-mail me any answeres or remarks at tryisforfail@yahoo.com


thank u

 

a common problem with the transfer case is a broken snap ring at the rear which allows things to shift out of place. i'll look for a link, but search on nv231 snap ring. if you fix it immediately its quick and easy. if you allow it to grind all the gears into filings...... then a little problem turns into a big one. about $1000 for a reman.

here's a couple. check over on pavementsucks.com too.
