Nothing much to say other that the real axel is toast and the transfer case i think is also toast /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif because is was leaking badly. and i have one question how may bolts hold the transfer case to the trany i tryed to take it off but i could not get it off, thanks for any help.

here is the link to see my truck http://www.theantitruth.com/home.htm

Ross did you remove the stiffener rod from the side also? I think I had only four in mine. Then the rod(2), cross member(2), linkage and speedo cable. I am guessing you took this stuff off but its still a good checklist. Hope this helps you.
 
I just want to know if you seen the rear wheel in the mirror working its self over the center line or if it happened real quick!? Never seen that before in person! HOPE I NEVER DO EITHER! Later, J
 
Hay at least it didn't come off when you were doing 80!
As long as the backing plate isn't bent you can probably get the axle fix for less than $50. I'm sure somebody out your way has a used axle shaft they can hook you up with.
The transfer case has 4 bolts holding the adaptor to the tranny. The case then bolts to the adaptor. It's been a while since I dropped a 208 but should be fairly obvious. There is a good chance the bolts for the adaptor to the tranny have stripped out. Should be able to install som Heli coils for around $40 for the tools and the coils.
I lost my last wheel at 60mph and the loose wheel did $1600 in damage to a Ford Ranger that it hit.

How did you do that?...I think you need that wheel! Of couse you could always add and extra feww 100 pounds to the front right and go 3 wheeling /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif

Hey, a new use for a Furd. Protect the foliage from a rampaging wheel. I new they were good for something. haha.

I hope the person in the Ranger didn't suffer from any injuries other than a new seat cover.
 
Uhhhh looking at the last picture in this thread that axle does not look broken. the nub that the C-Clip goes in is still there it looks like. I think your going to open that diff and find a split diff gear. It may have jamed and put a good load on the tranny.
I would still replace that axle shaft. It took a beating on the way out and may no longer be true.

"Boyce Equipment? About that axle you sold me.....are you sure it's a 14 bolt Full Floater?" /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif
 
Damn dude....That sucks ass......Although, How the hell did you do that on pavement? Did someone forget the c-clip or somethin? Had the diff been apart recently? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif
 
i dunno but i dig the orange, i been thinking about getting my truck painted orange, as for the axle, drop 300 bucks on a 14ff and never worry again, (course you prolly already know this)
 
There are 4 bolts that hold the adpter to the tranny asnd then 6 bolts that hold the t-case to the adapter...it is a hell of a lot easier if you have those handy GearWrench deals...also, you have to disconnect the shft rod at wither the shifter or the t-case lever.YOur lucky though...a 208 only weighs about 75 pouns or so...I had a great time getting my 205 in my truck by myself...
