ok so my truck is getting worked on as I type this I was going to try to do it myself but my neck won't allow me, anyways that's another story. The mechanic is telling me that there's no way to get the crossmember out to drop the t-case so he wants to take the chain and gear out of my goodt case and put it in there. I do not feel real comfortable with that but I need the truck right away and need the 4 wheel drive right away so is it possible for him to do that? Thank you

 

Poppycock. Your mechanic just doesn't work on Dodges.

Tell him to get a Port-a-power and spread the frame a HAIR.

Or take the bolts out, raise the t/case up off the mount, pull the mount out, then hammer the crossmember UP, then slide it back. It's a taper fit. It's not easy, but it does come in and out (unless someone welded it).

 

You can take the tcase without even messing with the crossmember if you want to.

 

Bigger problems now, he broke the bracket off the vp44 that goes to the powersteering pump & of course you have to but my the whole pump.

 

Wow. That really sucks. FOR HIM. That's why shops carry insurance.

 

No &sucks for me, I know the guy he works@a local shop but he was@my shop he works on the side for himself. Last time a mechanic busted up my truck and couldn't pay I beat what he owed me out of Him I forget what fun it is on maybe here I don't think so anyway all the guys thoughtI was A Peter for doing so they are acting like a bunch of little girls. I think that's how men should handle things but that's just me. But I've used this guy before I think it was a mistake and whooping on him ain't going to fix the truck. If anything came out misspelled I'm using speech to text.

 

I think you need to find somebody that won't destroy your truck just saying good luck
