The blazer is sitting idle while we try to locate replacement gears for the transfer case. I'm applying for a patent on the transfer case removal cradle

I just used a bunch of scrap metal and welded it inplace while the TC was still connected to the tranny.

Jimmy72custom · 09-04-2005, 02:51 PM

Good job on the cradle, nice truck. The tranfercase looks like a later model, by the output, shafts.

Hey guys you want to be careful of dealing with "tnblazerK5". Anybody that would have thier son on top of the house in the blazing heat applying cool seal while he sat in the shade sipping a cool one and hollering you missed a place has got to be shaky to deal with.

Just kidding-thanks a bunch Robb.
