i needed to rebuild my transfer case. it was starting to make a hollowing noise. i was able to get a complete set of bearings and seals and went for it. something i learned was this style of transfer case had a compensating gear for the front axle. so basically i was in four wheel drive all the time. which would explain the popping noise i would hear when i drove it on asphalt. so i removed the gear and spring. so if i need four wheel i engage the lock for the transfer case by hand. i also replaced all the u joints front and rear. seemed like a good time to do them also. the truck is much happier on the open road now.
