Help??
HI,
I recently bought an old 86 F150 for dirt cheap. The problem is that the truck is stuck in 4lo. The guy was pulling someone out of the ditch in 4 lo, gave it a tug and the truck stuck in 4lo. I checked the fluid.....added 3 quarts
hoping this was the problem but its still stuck. Im assuming since there was very little fluid, something became jammed due to lack of lubrication. The transfer case is a NP 208F. Im going to the junkyard tommorrow to buy a replacement but am not sure if its a slip yoke or flange on the rear. I dont know the difference, it has a cone shaped tube with ridges coming off of it to the rear. Help??????
also, does this sound like something that could be easily fixed or am I better off replacing the transfer case? I only paid $300 for the whole truck, so I dont want to put too much money into it.
Thanks!!

If it's a flange type, the rear connection of the transfer case will look like the front connection on the rear-end.
Have you tried different combinations of locking/unlocking the hubs, pushing on the gas and then letting up on the gas while putting pressure on the lever? Leaving everything in neutral and then trying to move it?

I can actually move the shifter when everything is in neutral, but once I put the transmission into gear (automatic) it grinds like crazy! This was what convinced me the thing is shot.....as far as taking it apart, ive never done it and not sure what I'd even be looking for.And knowing my luck, Id make the problem worse
Thanks for your comments!
