HEy guys do you know where in the chicago area i could get my transfer cases swapped for cheap? or a how to for me to do it on my own if possible? thanks

 

There's a good how-to vid on YouTube that is done with the engine and transaxle still in the car.

 

The one with the car on lift?

 

Yes, I did mine no problem with the front on jack stands.

 

What tools did you use and how long did it take?

 

Basically how it went in the vid. The only hard part is lifting the t-case back into the car. I took out the rear motor mount bolt to let the motor move back and forth freely and wedged a short piece of 2x4 wood between the transaxle and subframe to hold the bottom of the engine forward to give as much room as possible rather than prying it out like he did in the vid.

 

Dam anyone out here in Chicago that could give me a hand?
