Great news from MI.... - Land Rovers Only

Hey all, very much long time no talk/see, I have been real busy with work, work is busy, but makes $$$.

I finally tracked a transfer case down for the truck on Ebay, minus the VC unit. I finally got the transfer in the truck and it works perfectly!!! I am siked to have the truck finally running.

I pulled the old transfer case apart and found the output shaft splines had stripped completely. At first when I was removing the VC unit to swap to the other transfer case, that the VC itself could've been bad, thank god it wasn't.

Either way, the truck is fixed and on the road once again, now it's back to remodeling/overhauling the truck from where I was.

Also, recently I had to move into another place on my own, just a 900 sq/ft. apartment, long story short, the house I was living in was foreclosed on in August of 2007, and the six months my aunt had to redeem it had passed, we get an eviction notice, and I had less than 2 weeks to find an apartment and move into it. And the crappy thing about it all was neither I nor anyone else was told that the foreclosure was in affect until last possible second, except my aunt.

Good seeing y'all and I'll be doing my best to keep updated.

Thanks guys, I still got a few kinks to work out from the T-Case R&R, like when I went to remove the Y-Pipe exhaust section, all of the wires for the right bank O2 sensor ripped out of the connector right behind the motor, so now I have the nasty check engine light on. Either way, I have to replace both O2's anyways, it wouldn't hurt.

Also, when I had to remove the center console control panel, I miss matched the connections for the power windows, so now the ones that are supposed to control the rear right window, control the front left, it was kinda funny, but ain't no biggie to fix.

It's all fun fixing the truck.

ha, well things could be worse than a screwy window setup.
