Sure was...
All I can say is... I highly recommend anyone with a 249 t-case to get rid of that power robbing paper weight!!! ASAP..
What a difference, I can't even stress how much better this t-case is compared to what I was hauling & lugging around in rush hour..
Came across a few obstacles along the way, snapped cross member bolts on one driver side & wrong gear cut, the case was pretty much completely torn down for a re-build. I ended up having to hybrid the case as I predicted previously, all in all.. I'm proud of my work & it's complete!
No more driveline issues... Gonso!
In addition to this I was able to grab a build sheet from Chrysler when I picked up my seals.. Never would have thought that I had the 46RH Trans.. Interesting.. I thought all 5.2's had the 44RE.. I missed that one..
& thanks agains for offering assistance Tinkerer..
