So i found a tcase with 141k miles, when do these normally need to be rebuilt or serviced?

I found one locally with 160K. But I am going to drop it off at the shop to at least get a once over.

I would have someone look at it or crack her open and take a look. Hard to say what someone else has put it through. Some cases at that mileage could be fine with maintenance upkeep and some could be shot by 80k. I do believe Ford recommends a service at 150k though.

Ok. Maybe ill try to find one locally to save on shipping just in case i have to rebuild it lol.

Where you live, chances are people used it in 4 wheel drive, if you get one from a lower state, they may have never even switched it into 4 wheel drive. You just never know what you are getting.

That is true. Ill have to do some searching, thankfully im not in a hurry lol

Well depending on how my adventure turns out, I may have one to sell. It allegedly only has 80k but I haven't cracked it open yet to look.

Still waiting on an email that my Gen2 case has shipped.

Crossing finger that the gen 2 works without a hitch… have a line on a used gen 2 with 45k on it

I gotta imagine they beefed up the transfer case for Gen 2 because there has to be a reason it didn't make it into the Gen 1 Raptor. Gen 2 had a Torsen front diff as well correct? Maybe it's because I haven't done any high speed off-roading with lots of turns, but I still only see the 4A case being useful for things like snowy conditions. That was the only time I used it over 4HI in my 13 Limited. Also, traction control ruins 4A in the snow.

Gen 1's had the torsion as an option later on as well, think 2012 onward. If the all wheel drive works in the gen 1, there will be even less reasons to upgrade from a gen 1 as well, ha ha.
