Re: FWD: 88 Eagle Wagon T-Case problems



A: I was talking about bolting the whole tcase in and it is doable because 
there are quite a few that have already done it. I have done it the opposite 
way to get a FSJ moving too!

Sorry to have to point this out, but the viscous coupler in the '82 to '91
SJ will not fit the smaller cases. I've tried. An NP228 or NP128 swap would
be the best choice.
