    One last question before I go buy one and play lego's with t-cases. I have never been inside a chain drive t-case so this may be a dumb question, but is the front input attached to the mainshaft/tailshaft or are you able to change the input so that you can get the right spline count for your trans.

    I don't think ford ever used 32 spline inputs so I would need to swap my chevy 32spline input onto the ford mainshaft correct?
    the input and mainshaft are independent of each other. look a few pages back and you'll see the pics i posted of the 231/241 swap nonsense i did. the planetary separates them. If i was able to do it, you shouldn't have any problems figuring it out.

    you'll have to take both cases all the way apart. once you tear one apart, it becomes self explanatory, relatively simple design.

    did ford ever use anything beside 31 spline?

    the fsj 208 is drivers drop so it wouldn't work with his chevy to swap inputs but the fixed yoke will still swap

    did a little bit more reading. the fixed yoke might not have the exact same holes drilled in the case as the rear as the slip yoke. so you might have to reowrk it some. but it is doable.

    maybe find a NP208D then? that would be pass drop and fixed yoke. i think there is one up by waco.

    Where are you seeing $1000 for the pair? I see $460 for a pair of knuckles. Does not sound bad.

    Edit: Of course after hi-steer arms, and buying all the chevy outer stuff, it would probably get pretty close to $1000

    I called Solid. The price of $460 is for a pair of ball joint knuckles machined and ready for their hi-steer arms ($250/pair) But I would need to find 2 Chevy 60 outers(would prob just buy some 35 splines and drive flanges), get new Ford balljoints, Chevy hubs/rotors, bearings, and new bolt on style brake calipers from a later model 94-97ish F350. After all that, I would need to redo my d-link, and tie rod for the 10th time, and remount my ram, which would include redoing my lines.

    Alot of work and money, but its what my 60 needs. Also contemplating some Alcans or some Chevy 52s up front and redoing my low hanging shackle mount.

    Where on here did I see a link for a splined shaft source? We have a need for some on the X2.

    Is a flex fan a good or bad idea?

    1. On my cj there is only about .5" gap between my rad and the fan clutch. Ditching the clutch set up would net me a few inches of space which i could use to move the engine forward to gain an inch or two for rear drive shaft (cj5= really short)
    2 My engine temp gets up to around 210-215 while crawling/ idleing for extended periods of time (goes right back down when i start to travel faster) so i was thinking the flex fan might move more air at the the lower rpms?

    I know I could go with an electic fan but i like that a mechanical fan is simple and reliable plus cheap. So has anyone used a flex fan on their rig?

    my cj didn't have a fan clutch and the radiator still hit the fan a few times.

    Do you have a fan shroud? That really makes a big difference.

    If it doesn't get over 210-215 I'm not seeing the problem?
