Transfer case question
So it seems my '95 F350 that my brother just got running a few weeks ago froze up the transfer case while driving and snapped the rear driveshaft.
So my question is, (since I'm 9,000 miles away) whats the odds that the transfer case can be rebuilt? And if not, what years would work to replace it?
Also, would a transfer case from a auto be the same? I'm guessing not, the truck is a manual.
Thanks for any imput!

Also - if his driveshaft is toast, too, you can pick up a rear driveshaft/t-case combo from any truck of the same wheelbase and transmission - I.e any zf5 truck (which I believe ran from 87 to 97). Diesel/gas, big block/small block, f250/f350/F-superduty doesn't matter.
96/97 trucks will have a newer "hd" t-case, but as long as you take the driveshaft, too, it'll work just fine.
So there should be a lot of trucks out there for you.
Bill's right about the front shaft tcase yoke though.

I think the 4407 is heavier duty, but I've seen the 1356 take a lot of abuse too. The 4407 weighs twice as much as a 1356, so there must be something HD in there! LOL! I would stick with what's in the truck, that way you're not trying to find driveshafts and stuff.

Muncie Indiana. That makes both of my strokers down from a transfer case, but the dually was just slipping so I planned on rebuilding it when I get home in 3 months. This one, I don't know if I'll be able..
