Hi, new to the forum.
Bought a 1989 D50, 4x4 for a project and it sat forgotten a couple of years. The 4 wheel drive selector was stuck in 2 wheel.
In the process of replacing the 2.6L rear seal, I began removing the manual transmission and transfer case. When i drained the fluid from the transfer case the plug brought some links from the Front/Rear Output shaft chain. I grabbed a magnet rod and continued to pull out ubout 8 of these odd shaped pieces that I soon found out went to making up the chain. There were 3 small pieces of broken material, ( largest no bigger than 1/32" square ), that may be from a gear.
The part number for the chain is HV-104 and all my searching came up with almost $400.00 replacement.
I haven't cracked open the case yet, not sure if it's worth it.
May open it up just to remove the leftover chain that is inside and continue under 2 wheel drive for a while.
Is there a better place to get the chain? Or a better place to get a rebuilt case for the same price? I don't mind finding a good used t-case and doing my own rebuild.
Any ideas?
Thanks, all.
