Anyone know of a 4x4 transfer that will handle a V8 and not have electrical to the ECM? like pre 94? Thanks Mark
And that's what most of the Blazer/Jimmy/S10 guys do because the vacuum line runs under the battery tray on those trucks and gets eaten...often. So they install a manual cable instead.MechBob said:Yes.The S10 front diff.is "split" at the rf inner axle, by a cable/vacuum unit, controlled by a vac. switch on the transfer case. That is what I have on my 94. But, also, they also make a manual cable conversion, so using the vacuum stuff is not necessary.
It's a good question. I "think" the output shaft of any 4x4 case is coupled (in direct line) directly to the transmission in high range. If so.. I doubt there would be any issues for normal use, but that's just my guess. Of course it also depends on how hard you push or beat the system under extreme conditions.markmitch said:Anyone know of a 4x4 transfer that will handle a V8

Depends on your definition of "easier to do"... as well as parts and tools you have access to. Replacing a driveshaft/yoke vs making a shift arm and tapping a steel shaft. I found making the shifter arm was easy enough, and fun. 231/233 essentially the same unit. If you go with 231, be sure to get the later stronger model.markmitch said:All good points the only reason I was thinking 231 is because I thought it was easier to do.
I forgot we had that discussion. Yes the 700R4 is SO easy to work with.. no electronics!Mine is a 700R4 so the question was mute. After we discussed that I realized my mistake.
That's essentially how mine were made.I am having the body lift bocks made from steel pipe cause I had some 1/4 inch steel pipe the right size in my scrap pile. (1/4 is the size of the pipe walls)they will be 2.5 inches tall.
Yeah you’re right about not having a detent for 4HI. I just know with the encoder motor removed from the 236 you can shift it with a wrench into 2HI and 4LO. Pulling the wrench fully forward puts pressure on the packs for the 4HI/AWD. So it’s not really going to work fully as a manual shift tc.could you pls explain, why is that?
