Need a little help guys. Started on the part time kit Sunday and I'm a bit confused. I think I'm just making harder than it needs to be. I'm pretty good at that...lol I have it apart but I'm a little unsure of how the new "gears" go in. Either the instructions aren't very well written or it's my general lack of knowledge of the inner workings of the T-Case. I'm leaning towards the latter. I searched this site and found a thread with pics but for some reason I can't view the pics?
http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/smforum/index.php?topic=16045.0
I know that link is for a 74 K20 but I would think the concept is the same. I just need to see a pic of how the new kit should look assembled then I should be able to install. I just want to make sure what I'm thinking is correct.
Thanks in advance...
Eric

Yes, those are the ones. I think I have the kit figured out now but i'm nervous about the reliability after seeing how the components work together.

I'll have to get some pics, but I have the Mile Marker 501 kit (not the shaft kit). I may be way off but to me it looks like the tiny little teeth on the differential carrier will be the only thing engaging front drive line. My carrier doesn't look like any of the pics I've found so im guessing there is a light duty and heavy duty? I guess I just can't wrap my mind around those little teeth driving everything up front.

Captkaos...
Here are a few pics of what I have. The first pic and the last are of the tiny teeth I mentioned. They are basically on the i.d. of the carrier. I apologize if my terminology is incorrect.

Can anyone tell me what the recommended fluid is for a T-Case? I should be ready to refill mine this weekend.
Thanks,
Eric

I've always used ATF for t-case fluid. What t-case are you running with your setup?

ok. on the 203 disregard my ATF response. that uses a motor oil. 10/40 and 10/30 will work just fine. Some guys with use gear oil 80/90. It honestly is all personal preference. overall The goal is lubrication, you will accomplish with any of those options.

Here are a few spacers I made at work for the power steering pump.
Used 3/4" 316ss.

The spacer is a pita when lost . I have used nuts and washers before. Not the proper parts but it got me home.
