Im going to pull the trans out of my 93 5 speed 4x4 and put it in my 92 5 speed 4x4 by myself can I pull the TranferCase out first to make it lighter. all so do i have to lift truck with shifter out of tansmisssion to get it out from under the truck? thanks Ron,,

 

Its all very heavy. Take the shifter off. Seperate the T/C and trans. Get a trans jack.

 

That was quick.. all i have is a 3 ton floor jack think i'll have to make a large plate fo the top of the jack and stap it to the TC and then the trans.also do i have to support the engine thanks Ron..

 

you dont have to the rear valve cover hits the fire wall just slightly and its easy to do if your on concrete.

why are you changing them?

dont not just unbolt the shifter, pull the snap ring that holds it in the shift tower.

then to remove out from under the truck if sitting on the tires, jack the truck up on the fram rail with another jack so you dont have to unload your trans off the jack to pull from under the truck

 

I'm changing them because the 92 is my work truck and the trans started howling and the t/c jumps out of low range. the 93 i picked up for 500.00 and drove it home from a moblie home company it was and still is very rough.the company put a new trans from dodge in it about a year before i got it.one of the guys said they paid like 2800$ for the trans.the howling trans will last a long time in the farm, wood truck thanks guys Ron ps. I have a 92,93, 94,06 all DODGE DIESELS well the 06 is the wifes for now LOL

 

while you have the noisy one out check the preload, mine growled in first at idle and third at light throttle then when i had the trans out to fix the shift fork we checked to see how much movement the input shaft had, which was too much,(move around visably by hand) re-preloaded it and no more growl

 

How do you re-preload [bearings,or torque somthing} is their a link 2 this,Thanks Ron

 

just back to factory spec.
there are shimes that go behind the nose cone to get the proper preload. pm me you e-mail and i can send you the pdf manual
