I got my ass in gear a pulled the trans and Tcase out Friday night.
Image

Got the ole StaK O Shit on the bench for a tear down inspection. Ive been on a waiting list from TWF for a few years for a replacement range shaft and wasnt going to purchase it until I had a look inside at the internals to see if it was even worth it
Image

Turns out its all good to go, other than a snap ring that had come out and let the high range gear move back a Jiff, which is most likely why the rear has been pooping out in high range, seated the snap ring back in
Image

and gave it an expensive oil bath

Started the tear down/case swap. Donor Trans, hopefully the case is in good shape after a clean up
Image

Got most of the guts out and look in decent shape. Might get my old case welded up and slap these parts into it
Image

Didn't have a 12 point 3/8 socket so as far as I got last night, all that's left is the last drum and tail shaft assembly
