when i get done with milking ill take a pic of the floor of the truck. just noticed it has a good size hole in it. also ill take pic of my leg from the 4X4 shifter hitting me in the calf when it came flying into the cab. got a good mark from that.

No joke here....that's enough to make a grown man cry.
Trans, t-case, both driveshafts...all gone?

 

yes sir. first thing i saw when i got out of the truck was my T-case laying in front of the back tire. put it in the bed and called my buddy for a tow.
i cant save anything.

that bites! around here a zf5 is $2,000.00 in the wrecking yards and only sold as core quality, transfer case is $1,000.00 throw in 2 complete drive shafts and you are over half the price of a truck.

 

Devastating failure. Sorry it happened Mitch. Good luck on the repair. I guess its the 97. That is going to be the challenge. Finding parts.

 

ooooo boy. wouldnt think it would be that much. that does blow.

all trannys and t-cases should be the same though 94-97 right?
thanks
Mitch

 

'94-'95 had a different T-case but it will work no problem at all. Tranny's will all be the same.

Sorry for your bad luck. I do not envy you at all. I am soooo sorry.

 

mitch

that is a bummer. I have a buddy who is interested in selling his PS. I think it is a 96 or 97. I can find out if you are interested in it. He lives in central KY.

holy sheet! dare i ask what you were doing? at the time of mass carnage? almost looks like the t-case yoke snapped off, not the u-joint

 

found this he may still have it? https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/4...trade-ads.html

 

dont ask, all im gunna say is if you wanna play you gotta pay. and im paying out of the ***.
hey Joe do you still have that t-case for 75 bux? ill buy it if you do.
INDIGOFARM, thanks for the offer but i like to see what im buying in person.
Mitch

 

sorry, i sold it a few months ago, i cant remove my ads from the for sale section?????? i assume you were playing hard in 4wd. was the front end wheel hopping at all??????

 

so even though the t case had a different design they were still interchangeable?
and what year and range of trucks were the trannys the same?
thanks guys!
Mitch

 

you can put a 4407 behind your truck, it would be stronger, wont matter in your case since your drive shafts are junk anyway!! just get the shafts from your donor truck to mate up
