Got a new truck this weekend
I went in for a couple happy hour beers and the bartender told me she had an old truck she needed to get rid of. She said it didnt run because the battery wouldnt charge and it wouldnt shift out of 4 low. I showed up slapped a battery in and it fired right up, runs pretty good but something is wrong with the t-case, it pops out of gear and wont engage in anything but 4wd. Any ideas how to fix it or would it just be easier to grab another 208 and put it in? The exhaust was done last year, motor was supposedly rebuilt, and the best part NO RUST. I think I got a pretty good deal at $1400

Re: Got a new truck this weekend
I can't see any rust, so it must've been a heckuva deal if you like big trucks

Re: Got a new truck this weekend
You owe that woman a few beers. I think that was a great deal for a solid truck.

Re: Got a new truck this weekend
I am a craigslist addict I think, there are always good deals out here from people not wanting an ugly old truck any more.

Re: Got a new truck this weekend
I would just try to grab another 208. It would probably be cheaper and faster. Good score!

Re: Got a new truck this weekend
Score!!
On the t case, most likely a worn/ half missing shift fork, pretty common. 208s are cheap and easy to find, just stab another in it. Auto or 4speed? Please tell me it is not a 1 ton!!

Re: Got a new truck this weekend
Hey, I have PDF files for NP 205 and NP208 transfer cases. They are not that hard to rebuild. A kit is easily found on the internet.

Re: Got a new truck this weekend
The mark in the pic is actually just an oil spot. After the t-case I'm going to get the interior done, wheels, and maybe a crate motor the end of the year. It runs pretty good but it's really cold blooded and sounds like there is a valve ticking (according to a friend of mine) it will be used as a daily driver for a while.

Re: Got a new truck this weekend
I was hoping no body was dumb enough to part witha 1 ton srw for that cheap.
On the 208, I still remember the first 1 I took apart- split the case and a pile of needle and part fell to the floor, luckily I jus want the input shaft from it! The next 1 went a lot better!
