Transfer case basics

[ChevyKev]

Transfer cases transfer the power from the engine, via the transmition, to one or both of the axles, front and rear, and also can lower the gear ratio of the transfer of power - dependning on what gearing you select (4 hi, 4 lo, 2 hi, etc...)

Transfer cases thus transfer power.

Transfer cases do no tranfer weight. When one attempts to transfer the weight of their vehicle to the transfer case, using it as a pivoting point, this tends to happen:

Needles to say, I will be swapping out the t-case in the Skitzo tonight.

(if someone can get pics instead of links to appear, please do so. Nothing I do seems to get the piocs in here. They appear in my typed message before I post, but not in the actual thread - very frustrating!)

Maybe a skid plate would be a good idea!
