2 speed T-case
Can anyone give me some info on my cousins truck. It's a 86 250 ex cab 2wd 8'bed 6.9 4speed but it has a 2 speed T-case behind the trans. The 2 speed started clunking yesterday so he hasn't been running it. Is the 2 speed a chain drive or gear on gear? Any other ford trucks come with the same case if his is junk?
Thanks
I've been doing some more searching and all I can figure is maybe it's a gear vendor....

Have you figured out why it has a transfer case, but it's only 2wd? Transfer cases were only used on 4wd. Does it have a spot on the front to hook another driveshaft? If it doesn't, then it's not a transfer case.

It probably is an aftermarket overdrive unit, Ford never offered one. I believe they are a planetary gear system like an automatic tranny has. They are supposed to be bullet proof. I wonder how much oil it has in it?

Update:
Talked to my cousin tonight and he's been dealing with the local ford dealer. It seems that in 86 they did have a 2 speed t-case for on the 2wd diesel... They even had the info on file, just no info on wether parts were still available.

wtf
this thread makes no sense at all
Blame it on the 30 year old whiskey I am sippin
there is no point at all of a tcase on a 2wd the rwd driveshaft is a direct connection, no gearing at all, right?
i just was looking at one like 30 mins ago, but again with the whiskey...

I don't see how it would be much different than a 2 speed rear end, or using a GV over/under. I for an example put your 4x4 t case in 4 low but leave the front hubs out. You still get a gear reduction to the rear end (granted the front is spinning but with the hubs out that's all it's doing). I don't know what the reduction is thru the case (i'll try to find out) but any reduction would help when pulling something heavy in hilly areas...even with a 2wd
I know in my 75 Ford 800 dump truck w/out the 2 speed rear I'd take for ever going up hills loaded.
