I am wanting to know the pros and cons of t-case setups that have a short drive shaft between the tranny and transfer case? Any info is appreciated!

A divorced t-case gives you a better front drive shaft angle for running large lifts. Also it lets you run a 2wd transmission that would be easier to replace and to find a replacement if it fails while out 'wheelin. Down side? -Rear driveshaft to short on blazers, short boxes etc. -Three drive shafts and six u-joints to possibly fail. -T-case shift linkage has to be fabricated -Need to fab custom t-case mounts Now don't get me wrong I am considering installing one in my next suburban project, already have the case. Or I may install a dual transfer case from Off Road Design(ORD), it will give me a better lowrange and improve my front drive shaft angle. Hope this helps you out, Dan ------------ spm at 2/5/00 2:49:20 PM I am wanting to know the pros and cons of t-case setups that have a short drive shaft between the tranny and transfer case?

A divorced case is good for a large lift, because the front shaft is longer than a joined case. The drawback is that the shaft is low and hits on alot more stuff .
