I don't know much about ranger t-cases except that they only ran two different kinds electronic and manual engagement I could even be wrong about that too so I'm asking what has everyone heard or experienced with these t-cases I have yet to hear of one breaking...:icon_confused:

My credo
it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
most fail from lack of fluid replacement if they develop a leak.


i have physically destroyed a few....but that was with well over double the normal hp level and tires.


but i have been known to fawk up bags of hammmers.

all that stupid shit aside.

they are an extremely robust t case.


venerable in every respect across the board.

the positive wire of the meter goes to the positive side of the battery, negative to ground anywhere... If you put the positive side on the output of the alternator at the alternator the voltage will be higher than a component connected to the battery...

But, that positive wire should be hot only when the key is in run. And start (if you want to monitor voltage when starting). Otherwise it will be pulling power all the time. It is much but it is some.

Thanks guys I got it hooked up made my triple guage in my radio hole and ran the power to the lights off a wire that already runs dash lights so I can dim then if I want but when I adjust brightness is changes my volt meter and my electronic oil pressure guage so if I want a true oil pressure reading I have to shut off my headlights just weird :icon_confused:
