Tcase removal proceedures
hi all
getting ready to install a PMF transfer case reindex plate and PMF transfer case cross member.
kit is going into a 2019 f-450 4WD 6.7
the system turns your transfer case so that the output shaft for FWD winds up with a reduced drive line angle.
the system comes with a plate that presumably goes between the tranny and transfer case. bolt holes for the original position and new holes with bolts for the new position on the tcase side.
it should be pretty straight forward unless there are some standard tcase removal items that need to be considered.
looking at everything...it looks like the best approach is
1. remove the RWD drive shaft from the Tcase .
2. remove bolts that hold the tcase to the xmsn
3. remove the tcase cross member (prepare to support tcase some how)
4. slide tcase out of its position in xmsn
5. either bolt the index plate to the tcase or the xmsn (not sure since the index plate has no instructions)
6. turn the tcase into its new position (supported with straps , etc)
7. bolt the tcase to the xmsn
8. install new crosmember
9 reattach RWD drive shaft.
so this is my guess on the approach.
I called PMF and they said they do not have instructions for the system but if I get stuck, I can call them back.
I guess its one of those things that if you cant figure it out...you should be doing it.
before I start, I need to verify the sent me the correct year parts ...they have a 2011thru 2016 kit and a 2017 to 2020 kit and I need the later. dont want to disasemble everything and find that I have the wrong kit.
any remove and reinstall gotch info would be helpful.
thanks
