tell your idiot mechanic to figure out what a scrap yard is and get one ripped out of a T case that matches yours.

yea i found an f-150 the same year as my bronco, u think it would have the same speedo gear? i dont know how to compare the transfer cases, im gettin my gear out, and gonna compare em

there should be a tag on the rear of the transfercase that has the model number and serial number. as long as its a similar year f150 then the tcase should be the same but double check the tag.

found a brand new replacement, lol, took 2 days, and found one from a ford dealer about 50 mi away, worth it i suppose, looks like it been on the shelf since the late 80's itself, ha.... WELL fellers i think once i get this problem fixed, all i have left to do is change the seals in the front end, and figure out why the **** my rear window goes almost all the way up, stops when there is about 3 inches left, then i have to help it by pushing up on the window.. Some1 told me to try this silicone stuff on the guides to make it smoother for the window, may give it a try, if not, it may need a new motor

great!

On the TG glass; This is ny Brian

"...90% of you all probably already know this so I guess I'm talking to the other 10% of us who don't/didn't. My rear window has been giving me problems for the last 4 months. It would go down a few inches and it would get stuck. Then I would either have to rock the dash switch back and forth to get it to go down or go to the back and use the key with one hand and push down the window with the other---Very frustrating.

FIX:

1) First roll down the window, drop the gate and take off the inside panel (about 8 philips head screws) covering the tailgate. You will see pretty much nothing but glass after doing this.

2) Then manually flip the latches so you can use the key to roll the window back up. ***Very Important*** Put something under the window to support it--sawhorse, lawnmower or whatever. The weight of the glass could cause it to break when rolled up with the tailgate down.

3) After the glass is up you'll have access to the inside mechanisms. If you bend over and look at the underside you'll see a couple of arms that attach to two 6"-8" pieces of channel. These arms move along the channel to raise and lower the glass.

4) Get some (Miesk5 Note;use white Lithium grease) and smear inside both channels. You don't have to glob it in there just put enough that it goes completely on and along the inside of the channels.

5) Roll the glass back down.

6) Put your inside panel back on.

7) Pull your tailgate release handle one time to make your latches go back to the open position and close your tailgate.

8) Now roll up your window and see if it helped any. Mine goes up just as smooth as ever now. It doesn't slow down a bit.

Now this may not work for everyone but it sure worked on my rig.

Brian..

BTW, this took about 45 minutes start to finish...."

Sorry for the delay; yes, buy it @ Wally Mart; usually a dollar cheaper per can; look for the non-pressurized tube or can; because the press. stuff loses the inert gas and you'll have a bunch of LI grease left-over; Use Q-Tips to apply in tight channels..(hmmm.....)

Keep the Q tips clean (grab a bunch and toss each one before dipping one in da can again (hmmmm,,,)

Such as; http://order.waytekwire.com/productdetail2/M37/29061/WHITE%20LITHIUM%20GREASE/
