Re: Transfer case compatibility I did find one TC of questionable heritage for $50., and it may be worth a shot. The best thing for me is to at least do some measuring and counting at this point; and go from there. FWIW, I did alot of parts yanking years ago; mostly in 100+ summers. Still...

I've located a transfer case from a 95 astro van; the salvage yard has to ship it in from out of state. Says it should be a drop in replacement. $400 with a 6 month warranty vs. $850 plus shipping (twice- they want the core back- $250. core)...thinking if it fits, the one from the astro is the...

Re: Transfer Case r&r question Thanks for the replies; I suppose I'll ask more q's once it is out. Got a remanufactured unit located in Las vegas but may attack it once out. Cornell

Can anyone comment on the feasability of r&r the tc with the ty on jackstands? Anything I should be aware of not covered in the manual- hopefully the engine/tranny can stay intact and the TC slips off nicely. Any comments appreciated...Thanks, Cornell

Re: Transfer case question Thanks for the *encouragement*, I knew from the getgo I shouldn't be driving without the p-shaft Not looking forward to futzing about in the t-case. Sure feels like chain slipping on sprockets and I'm sure the VC is fried also. Shee-ite...a costly mistake.

I ran my Ty for several months without a front propshaft, and upon replacement with DynoTech rebuild, I'm getting a bad 'chudder' or clunking upon moderate acceleration. Seems more predominant after transition from reverse to drive. Sounds and feels like something slipping and re-engaging. Not...

The hard vacuum line through the firewall has developed a leak. probably due to futzing around with other stuff in the area. I've hooked a mity-vac to it and confirmed. The other end; which I _think_ is the Grey hose on the back of the HVAC control, goes to a 5 hose connector about 10 inches in...

Re: ?Ground problem maybe The module corrected the problem. I agree, these things do eat ignition parts- good to keep spares on the shelf. This is the 3rd. module- the earlier ones just died and no spark. Thanks and a tip o' the hat... Cornell in Phx.

Re: ?Ground problem maybe The module checked bad. A new one is on the way- will post results later. (dc resistance to ground on ckt. 423 should be <1k ohms at ecm connector; reading ~2.4K) Flowchart for code 42 indicates a bad connection or module- the connection looks ok; resistance changed...

Re: ?Ground problem maybe Well, it's worth a try; the distributor and module are fairly new- about 12 months. Thanks, Cornell

Trying to fix an illusive problem that has had my Ty disabled for a couple of weeks. Its running rich enough to foul plugs in a couple of miles. Idle is'nt any worse than normal. Not able to get a clean enough data stream at ALDL to get reliable readings with Diacom. A Snap-on scanner will not...

A couple of years ago I bought a set of takeoffs from (I think) AFS... Does anyone have a website addy for them? Thanks, Red.
