Transfer case
- Thread starter CJ2

If you unlock the hubs and the truck doesn't move in hi or lo then your transfer case hasn't been converted. If you unlock the hubs and the truck moves in hi loc or lo loc then that is normal operation.
If I put it in park and then neutral. Shift the t case to h. It will drive but it is in 2 wheel drive only rear driveshaft spins.
Oh. Wow. Ok what happens if you put the truck in park. Put the tcase in 2 hi. Lock BOTH hubs, and then start the truck, and put in to drive.?
From the looks of that video the front end is operating normally.
It’s the open front diff and normal resistance ( probably from cold gear oil ) that the axles are spinning at different rates initially.
DO NOT try to engage the hubs like that - they were never designed to do that.
You should only engage while the axles are stationary.
Question: If you lock the hubs In before hand and put the T-case in the same location does the truck move normally?
I agree. I think the front end is working correctly. I think the Tcase is NOT a part time tcase. I think the grinding, is from the wrong sequence of events.
Agreed !
He might still have some 203 shifter adjustment issues to deal with though.
I know you are not supposed to engage the hubs like that. Just did that so y’all could hear the noise. When I engage the hubs before hand the transfer case grinds. When I engage the transfer case first and then put it in the neutral and lock the hubs. Then put it to drive the hubs will grind.
With an automatic trans I like to shift the t case in an out with the trans in park. If the engine is running and the trans is in neutral the trans output will spin. Shifting the t case will force the spinning shaft to slow and jam into messing gears. This always causes wear and has a chance to damage something.
If both the trans and t case are in neutral and you go to select park on the trans, you will hear the parking pall skipping across the teeth of the lock ring, very strong possibility of breaking the parking pall.
always engage the hub locks, while parked, parking brake engaged, then select the t case position you desire and have at it.

This is what I did in the first video. When I do it that way the transfer case makes noise. Should the looking hubs make a noise while driving 2 wheel drive if they are locked. When I do that there is a horrible noise of clunking and the vehicle acts like it is skipping over something. It does ok when driving forward and straight, but not backwards or during turns that’s when it clunks.
Hopefully the hubs aren’t jack’d up and causing engagement issues but by your description it sounds like your 203 is allowing the chain to slip on the cogs/sprockets when they get resistance such as in a turn and that would be an indicator that the case does not have a part-time kit installed in it and is very much so worn out.
how can you not have a part time kit if the transfer case is in high and does not move the front drive shaft? Whenever I am normally driving in 2 wheel drive the front drive shaft does not move. At one point my hubs got very hot from calipers dragging so they could be damaged.
Ok, mine does not turn in high. there may be something wrong with my hubs. They leaked grease when they were getting hot. I took them apart and re greased them a while ago. Maybe I did that wrong?
