My Buddy that owns a transmission shop had a customer drop off a 98 Expedition and a used trans and t-case at his shop. The original trans a transfer case were both had broken cases. He installed the trans and transfer case, and that was the last he saw of them. After sitting for 3 years, he gave it to me. After a few months of getting the title tracked down and getting it transferred into my name, it was finally mine. I've already done quite a bit to it, but it's still a work in progress.
Here it is..
It was pretty much full of garbage. I filled up 4 giant garbage bags of crap.
I wish I'd taken a picture of the carpet prior to the several carpet cleanings. I also let it sit for a week with coffee grounds all over in it to remove the stagnant smell. Here it is... the whole interior got douched.
Bringing it to my house, I could tell things weren't right in Kansas. It vibrated like crazy. This is the rear driveline u-joint, located next to the differential.
And, the front driveline. These issues would be why both the trans and transfer case were both busted when it was brought to the shop.
After putting about 300 miles on the used trans, it started to slip really bad on take off. I'll add more photos soon of the crap we found in the pan. Luckily, my Buddy had another rebuilt 4R70W sitting on his shelf and we slammed that in there.
......more to come.
