I heard that a tcase drop puts stress on a linkage somewhere. Should I avoid 4x4 because of it? Ill be getting an she sometime soon, I just have a few other things that need to be inaugurated before then

 

She's going to take the stress off of your linkage, after some inauguration? lmao

Yes a transfer case drop has these negative side effects:
- Increased stress on motor & transmission mounts
- Increased stress on transfer case and transmission linkage
- Reduced ground clearance
- In XJs with low-pinion front axles (2000+ MY), worsens front drive shaft angles

Tons of people wheel with transfer case drops, but don't be surprised when the items above start behaving strangely or failing prematurely.

 

Thanks very much!

 

i def need an sye, regardless of the fact i barley wheel her.

 

It's not a "delay" so much as it is incomplete engagement when you're not moving. The transfer case was designed to be shifted on the fly.

As a matter of fact, you could take any older Ford, Jeep, or Chevy and if you had the hubs engaged, shift on the fly also. No big deal.

 

so without searching and since we're talking about it; what does CAD stand for and how do we bypass it. also what are the good and bad points in doing so.
please oh knowledgable ones........:thum bup:
thankyou.

I forget wht the C stands for. Central?

Here's how to bypass it:

thanks brutha.

 

would this cause my axle to not unlock as well as keeping the light on. I tried your suggestion to day and notice it felt like the axle wasnt unlocking until the light went off

 

What suggestion?

 

this one

 

All same size tires? Pressures all the same?

 

yep all 31s and im **** bout the air pressure they r all at 27psi

 

Well, how's the fluid level in the transfer case?

Do you make your shifts in one quick movement?

 

wait doesnt the trans and transfer case share fluid or is the transfer case completely isolated from the trans? Sorry still a bit of a n00b with this stuff.
