blown transfer case
f250
Been feeling a slight vibration for a couple of weeks like a tire out of balance. Went to the tire store to rebalance tire and rotate them. Did not fix the prtoblem. Yesterday it got worse to the point i thougt i blew out a tire. Immed got worse and it was like a monster was beating the bottom of the truck with a sledgehammer. Then it even got worse like the driveshaft was cut loose at the back of the transmission and i was driving it into the concrete. Oh yea i was on a bridge with no shoulders on either side. Had to make it to a cross over. The transfer case was shattered.

Re: blown transfer case
Well, if its a chain drive I would try and go back with a gear drive. They are much better in my opinion. What year is the truck? Was it out of oil?

Re: blown transfer case
No it was not out of oil. Pleanty of oil all over the causeway and on the auto shops floor. I hear that is a problem when they get bone dry. Not here something else happened.
I just got a call and a new one from ford and installed by my mechanic is 1685.00

Re: blown transfer case
That sucks, but it's a lot cheaper than a new truck.

Re: blown transfer case
I'd google Pull-A-Part to see if there's one in your area. You can get a transfer case for less than $100 with a warranty. They're not that hard to replace.

Re: blown transfer case
www.car-part.com is a site I use frequently.
go ahead highboy, harass me. I know you want to. a blown T case is pretty rare for our shop. even more rare for a borg warner.
