Hi, You guys were great the last time I had an issue. Now I have another. My transfer case seems to be going. This winter my daughter had it(96 dually, auto.) in 4wheel dr. for a long time on icey roads and the tranfer case was empty.
What happens is, for about 1 revolution of the tires, there is a big clonk in the transfer case. I only use the revolution of the tire as a reference. It is as though the chain in the transfer case jumps a cog or maybe I have a few teeth broken??I know I can get a rebuilt for about a grand, but, is it really difficult to pull it out myself and take a look? Is it a difficult job to pull apart and take a look myself? If I can offer more info, let me know.
Thanks for any feedback.

from what i hear rebuilding a transfer case is not to hard if you have a manual that will help you get past some problems.

manual is an big helper, mainly keep it clean and in order. Look into it in the manual make sure you have all the tools.

Sure its t-case?

double check the cad (central axle disconnect)

Mine does the same thing. I smashed my vac solenoid for the cad (bounced it off a rock, bent the shaft) and even after some tweaking it doesnt couple the axles right away. But as soon as i roll forward a bit i get a big ol bang when the coupler finally moves over and locks the shafts!

I have two apart in the garage right now -- a Chevy and a Dodge -- both NP241's. Would you like a few pics of the internals? They are pretty simple. I am getting ready to put one back together this week if you want me to take some pics and notes for you.

Just some pics.

Front half.

Rear half.

Internals that will come out, plus a magnet.

Internals completely removed from front half.

Pretty simple. I will be putting both transfer cases back together by this weekend. I have never done it, but will update you on the progress or issues I run into. Good luck
