I do appreciate the help mates. But to be honest how hard/pita is it to install a new t-case? Plus what if they don't have a 89 4x4 like mine? Might another year t-case fit and not cause problems?
50 miles is indeed a bit of a hassle to drive for cheap parts, but then again we have to do what we have to do. As they teach in the army when you get hurt, suck it up and keep going. As long as the truck drives good i dont mind driving to tally, its getting the gas that i have a problem with and then on top of that the money to get the part. But when my cousin gave it to me, he drove it 100 miles to get it to me, so i know it runs good. Just has a oil leak which makes it need oil once a month, other then that mechanicly it's sound. Just a few minor problems here and there. But the thing i won't like is the traffic i will have to deal with and that will be a pita due to the shifter being funky. Still getting used to it having all that play in it.
But thanks, should be getting some money next week, get a tag and title on it and some gas, i will go to the pick n pull if i have extra and get the part.
