1354E Rebuild- Who's done it?

[reginald fairfield]

Hey, have any of ya'll ever rebuilt/attempted to rebuild a 1354 Electronic Transfer Case? I bought a used one in the junkyard the other day, and want to rebuild it cause it needs a new chain and seals. Also, where can I find a rebuild kit for it?

Just replace it with a used one, They almost never fail. The yards don't sell them very often so they sell cheap. Especially without the shift motor. The yards can't keep the shift motor, I've seen the shift motors go cheaper aftermarket than used.
Everything but the chain is available at your local parts store(2 seals). The chain is available but, I don't now where YOU could buy it.
I guess I read that to quick, You did buy a used one. Sorry. Ask your local parts store about the chain. If they don't have it they may know where you can get it.

Thanks... Yeah, I must have bad luck with these transfer cases or something... It would be alright for awhile im sure, but it has a little too much slack for my liking and it makes a funny noise when i rotate the shafts. I am going to check napa first.

I just finished swapping a manual tcase into my truck an hour ago. Do you want to buy mine? I had no troubles with it. The only reason that i swapped is simply because I prefer manual.

Well, how many miles and what year did it come from? I got this one already, and I am thinking about fixing it just to see what makes them screw up
