so i have a tough question,

4 brandnew KC daylighters for $130
(i know i wont find this deal else where...)

or a manual shift Tcase for $150?
my auto tcase works ok now... not something id trust on a tough trail though but i dont do them that much.
let me know what you guys think, i gotta decide today on the lights.

that is a toughy.........but it all depends on of your electric t-case is shit out or is gonna shit out. if i still had electric t-case i would choose the manual over the lights...........................although the lights would look sweet.

Both are good deals (if it is a 1354m, and I guess even if its not). What would get more use from you, I think I'd probably get the t-case because lights are easier to come by.

it is a tough choice, the only time the auto tcase has failed me was on a tough trail id would knock outa 4lo and into 2hi, but for what i use it for 90% of the time it works, but i also wouldent use the lights unless i was off road....

and yeah i do beleive it is a 1354 manual shift

i cant really make my mind up... im also not sure where id mount the daylighters on my truck with the topper... ( not a fan of bumper mounted lights.)

the tcase is ideal i guess, but i could be getting into a tcase rebuild as well if the new one is shot ( need to find out if theres an easy test on them any one know?)

and i suppose the tcase would be best as it would make it more reliable and probably sell faster if i ever decide to do such a horrid thing.

does anyone know the P/N for the transfercase to transmission extension gasket? or will i be able to reuse the old gasket or make one ?

Are the lights 55 watt or 100 watt?
I belive the Daylighters are 100.........Just asking.

If this is a good T-Case (I am not sure) then go for it, lights can be had for dime a dozen.

You cam always add two light from Wally World and have light but the Manual T-Case may not come again at the low price.

t- case man!

u can get better lights on forums like race-dezert.com for not much more.

 

[mn_smokeater]

Exactly get the T-case and save up some money for REAL lights, Hella 500's or other products made by Hella.

KC's used to be the thing, it's old school, better products out there now.

If it is just a manual 1350 then no way. They are real cheap and easy to find, hell I had five of them in a pile at one point that I couldn't get rid of, and I still have two. I guess if it's the 1354 then maybe. I think I could find one cheaper.

 

[Ranger4657]

i put the deposit down on the tcase today, its a 1354 mshift.... ive been looking in junkyards for a while now and everyone ive found is the 1350 and ones that wont fit my truck... every where ive called that has descent ones are calling for like 400.... so i figure its a good deal.

i dont really like thelook of the round daylighters on rangers, kinda fond of the rectuanglar lights (anyone have any suggestions on thease types brands models etc.), i think they fit he square-ish body a bit better.

I used a roll of gasket material called feltpro several months ago and I just cut out the shape of the gasket in between the transmission and the transfer case and it hasn't leaked yet. I think i paid 12 dollars for the roll. and theres possibly enough left over to make about 2 dozen more =>.

any parts store or tractor supply will have rolls of gasket material.....i wish i could find a 100'x3' roll, i got all these half-assed rolls that are too small and cut up to use for anything lol....
