I know this is off topic but.... A very good friend of mine has a '96 ford f250 4x4. 351, automatic, manual transfer case shifter on the floor. In feb. 2005 he literaly blew the transfer case apart going down the road in 2wd at 50 mph. He had a tandem axle live stock trailer with 4 cows in it, hooked on. Local shop got a rebuilt transfer case, put it in and everything was fine up until this past weekend. It went again. Same thing, parts scattered all over the road. This time it was pulling its own weight. Anyone ever have this problem? He has only put 11,000+ miles on it since the last time! Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Did he check the oil?

They are pressure fed and need to be checked from time to time or otherwise they will eat themselves alive.

Allan, as far as checking the oil level. I can't answer that other than there were no spots on the shop floor where it is always parked. There was alot of it on the road when it came apart a few days ago though. A few quarts I would say for sure.

I have an F150 4x4 with 175000 miles on it with no problems.You do have to watch U joints and drive lines.Most people drive till they break.Its much better to crawl under and check things out that to risk failure on the road.I do my own work, if you dont ask the mechanic to check things out during grease jobs.

 Bad slip joints... in reply to Lumpy, 05-22-2007 18:54:43  
If the "slip joints", especially in the front driveline, are rusted stuck, or have excessive wear, so they bind instead of telescoping as the suspension moves, the transfer cae will get broken.

Ya know, you have a good point. I will pass that information on. You would think that the repair shop would look at them when they took it apart the first time, since they had to take the shafts off anyway. Thanks.
