After swapping out the transfer case in my daughter's 1999 AWD V8 Explorer, I disassembled the old one to see if it could be rebuilt. The chain and gears are worn only slightly, the bearning look perfect, and I think the main problem with the noise/whine/slip at high speed (it would also sort of jump when taking off from a standstill) was due to a worn planetary gear system, and decided not to rebuild it. There was about  3/8-1/2" slop between the two output hubs.  But, if anyone out there in Corvairland can use it for parts or rebuild, just let me know and it's yours for the postage. It weighs about 70 lbs. It has the bosses for a counterbalance, but would have to be tapped as her truck did not have one. The main number on it is EB8. If you want more details, just drop me a note. It goes in the dumpster next weekend. I paid $475 for a used one with 25K on it. This one had about 100K. Happy 4th.
