So I get my used transfer, swap the shaft, get it in the truck and have now driven to work 3 days, today being the 3rd, 150 miles round trip.
On the way down the hill today I noticed a slight clunking every once in a while. After about 5 minutes of this, it jumped out of gear when I let off the throttle and would not go back in until I pulled over. I stopped, moved it from 2 to 4hi, a little grind but went in and moved. Then back to 2, same thing, a little grind, but went in. Took off down the road and the clunking became worse and I could feel it physically jerking the truck. When I let off to pull over, it jumped out of gear again. Trying to change to 4hi just resulted in some pretty spectacular grinding, same with trying to push it further forward toward 2hi. Mind you, the shifter never moved when it found this new neutral.
So after 8 miles of this I stopped, tried to adjust the shifter to see if it was just off, didn't help. I have all the detents, 2-4hi-n-4lo, where they look like they are supposed to be, but still the same..
another 4 miles down the road, it just jumps out with a lot of grinding, when I stop, I have nothing but 4lo. 2 and 4hi are just like neutral. Tried adjusting the shifter again, same result. So for 40 miles I drove home in 4lo at about 30mph. Now home, I cannot get it out of 4lo.. I even used my foot and all I did was I think I bent the shaft or linkage, something moved, but didn't shift. I'm so discusted with it I didn't even look under it when I got home. I'm ready to put a rag in the fuel tank and send it off a cliff. :bang
Any ideas what this could be? Obviously the transfer is coming back off. At least I still have the internals from my old case incase something broke.
Also, I haven't had a front driveline since replacing the transfer. It was tossed at 70, causing the original one to break.
