Transfer case questions

[bigdon-70blazer]

Well, I put in the transfer case yesterday, by myself I might add! I add that because I could have killed myself! It really helps to have the right tools to do this job, which I don't but I got it done with the help of a cherry picker and floor jack that I decided I had better go get before I broke major bones! The books I got were hard to find the specs on the torques and the descriptions were not what I expected. I will describe what I did and you all can tell me if I am OK. The bracket the attaches to the trany that also has two holes for the transmission support I tightened them to 130 ft/lbs and the small L bracket on the pass side of the frame attached with rubber grommets I attached at 130 also. The major mount at the bottom I mentioned first had the rubber transmission mounts that I had failed to mention. Does that sound OK or are you all confused? Next project is drive shafts the motor and tranny!

Those are pretty sizeable bolts so I'm sure your fine. I'm positive the torque was higher than 90 ft/lbs, but I don't remember the exact amount.

From the service manual specifications..
TC to frame bolts 130 ft-lb
Adapter mount bolts 75 ft-lb
TC bracket to Frame nuts (upper) 30 ft-lb
TC bracket to Frame nuts (lower) 65 ft-lb

This is for an NP205.

Classicindustries.com for one. I'm sure some of the other vendors offer them as well.

I read the same info but just wanted to have someone say that looks OK. Thanks!
