Welcome

Hi everyone, I'm Chuck and this is my project. I am going to attempt to make this tired old truck into something worth driving again!

Transfer Case



The divorced transfer case: Divorced refers to the separation between the transmission and the transfer case; this setup has some huge benefits. The most obvious is less extreme drive line angles. With a lifted truck, a common problem is that extreme drive line angles (especially to the front axle) cause added stress on the u-joints at the end of the drive lines. With a divorced transfer case the drive lines to the front and rear axles are nearly the same length and have similar angles. This is accomplished by simply moving the transfer case towards the rear of the truck, or, separating it from the transmission. Hence the name: Divorced Transfer Case.
