I stopped by my local U-haul the other day to get a price on the biggest truck they have and a car hauler from CA to AR ( $5170!!!!! ) and saw that they had them hanging on the wall, but they were 3/8” thread on the eyelets instead of 1/2”

Well, I pulled my 2nd gen transfer case apart today from my 73. I found a broken snap ring, destroyed tailshaft bushing and tailshaft seal. Everything else looks good, so hopefully I can find the parts I need soon, and swap my HD case back in. I’m currently running a Light Duty case that I borrowed, and I’m paranoid that I’m going to break it.

I keep getting a pop up that says “Congratulations” and that I’ve won free stuff on Amazon, and it wouldn’t let me post a picture. Man, I try to scroll up in this thread to see what I’ve missed and this thing keeps making me close the page and open a new one. I’m clicking the “view this thread” link from my email notifications to get here.... what a PITA

You've got malware on your device, adware probably. These bastiges think that screwing up your computer is going to make you want to buy their products, morons. It can be tough to get rid of, but it can be done. I am almost sold on the American developed PC matic, because virtually every other antivirus app is foriegn made and, in my opinion, can't be trusted. Disclaimer: I have nothing to do with pcmatic, I just like their commercials ...Mark
I started getting the same thing on my IPhone a few weeks ago. It gets really annoying so I try not to use the IPhone. It only happens on this website. It didn’t start until I had been reading this thread a lot. I hope it is not this site that caused the problem as there is tons of good info here. Usually Apple devices don’t get pop-ups EVER, so I’m a little confused. I tied deleting all my history, cookies and cache, and everything. I also made sure pop ups are blocked on my browser. They are, but I’m still getting them...

From recent experience, it is very difficult to remove some of these invasive programs because they spread themselves out in your computer like a plague and proceed to fight your every effort to clear them. They even can prevent you from downloading a program to get rid of it. You may notice that the ads try to sell you something that you have already bought or something that you searched. They can scan your cache, search history and about anything else on your computer. They can even put themselves into your backup, or prevent you from backing up. I don't like them very much, in fact, I like pond scum better ...Mark

I think I fixed it. Supposedly you can get rid of it on your mobile device by closing the window it pops up on, but leaving he browser open, going to settings, turn on airplane mode, clear cache, data, and history, close browser, turn airplane mode off, and finally reopen your browser. Seems to be working so far.

But in severe cases I have had to completely format the user's hard disk and reinstall everything. Takes about a half day of my very expensive time and gets the user a very severe tongue lashing. It's getting hard to stay away from the crap.
One thing to do is to NEVER EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES click on any ads you see on a web page you don't trust with your life. And when you're not sure research it completely and then don't do it. Don't rely on an antivirus to completely protect your PC. There is such a thing as a ZERO-DAY malware that comes out before the AV companies have had a chance to update their AV signatures and get them downloaded to all users. When in doubt see the above and then don't do it.

Checked transfer case fluid as it has a bad rear output seal. It is almost completely empty again. I knew I was going to have to replace the seal, but was hoping I could drive the truck still until I replaced it. Now I’m realizing that that is not going to happen as I’ve only put about 10 miles on it since I filled it up after finding it empty.
My next problem is I’m not sure what transfer case I have as the truck was swapped to a 47rh by the previous owner. Can someone tell me from these pictures what transfer case I have? I’m hoping to go and get the seal tomorrow and start tearing into it. I figure I’ll replace the u-joints while I’m at it.
