? about np 208

My 81 Bronco has a NP 208. First off I have been having some trouble with the rear output shaft seal, they keep popping out of the housing, even the one I bought from the dealership, which went in fine unlike the other ones from other parts stores( I have tried a total of 5 seals). Anyways I am tired with the aggrivation and was wondering how much a t-case would cost at a wrecking yard? What other tranfer cases would bolt right up? One of my friends said to search for a vent that may be plugged. Is there one? While looking I found an electrical connector on the top, it was disconnected but I found the wire that would go to it, what is it for? Thanks for the help or info.

Probably for a 4x4 indicator or something like that. As for the vent, i would imagine there would be one on it, theres one on every other peice of the driveline. Instead of getting a whole new t-case, just get the rear housing if it is like my 205, you can replace them separate.

there is a vent. its on the top right of the roof of the transfer case. it should have a tube attached to it so try to locate it by look for a black rubber tube about 1/4 inch wide.
if those instructions are unclear I can take a picture of my NP-208 breather tube, or you can check out a picture which will indicate the location of the breather tube here:

I have one rubber hose on the very top, it is real long and looks like it goes to my shifter, I diddn't think that would be it. If it isnt I will keep looking. Thanks for the help.

The tube should go from the top of the xfer case up inside the xfer case shifter boot, this way it is inside of a dry space.... just in case.
