    Help needed

    thanks much, installed finally after a 2 wk bout with the flu (thanks Nancy). The numbers were just the code for the salvage yard I got it from. Got it done in about 5 hrs taking it out and prep myself and had help putting it in. Of course my cheap gear wrench set didn't have a 15 or 18mm in...

    Hey Mike, picked up the rebuild tonight. Yes they said it has the upgrade in it but don't know if what they call an upgrade is just the new alum rear case or if they actually put in the heavy thick washer thing or other upgrade that caused the hole .. I know it is claimed the alum is much...

    Thanks guys, hadn't heard of either but looks like they are both sold out too. Will try on Monday to call. I did find Transfer case shop, Transfer case warehouse, and Transfer case express but with all the scams... was wondering if someone here would know if any were trusted business's.

    Merchant is out of the 263xhd, guess they will get more available but want to install asap as there is a heavy clunk noise when shifting to 4hi and don't want to take a chance on hurting something more in it or cracking the case .. thanks

    Hello, just searching for info on replacing a transfer case on a 04.5 Silverado with a 263xhd case in it. Somebody know of a reputable company who sells reman's ? Or is it best to go new ?

    Help: LLY losing power

    Help: LLY losing power

    Looked at the ice pick post and can see now from the pics that what I am looking at is an injector connection. The sand blasting for just short spurts on the connector has worked, now going on 3rd day, and is easier than the pick method. Will cancel the latest appt. to get this fixed and keep...

    Help: LLY losing power

    thanks, the plug connector right behind the batt. ground box is small and rectangle square and seems to be the problem as every time so far the truck fouls out I simply unplug it and plug it back in. The sand blasting trick so far has worked, thought it would just plug up the connector but after...

    Help: LLY losing power

    I posted this question on another thread and got no response yet so trying it here. My 04 lost power recently on the highway big time, 45mph was about all, sounded like an old Dodge diesel.
