Anyone know anything about this? The transfer case brace (my manual just calls it "reinforcement") is a metal rod assembly that bolts between the transfer case and the transmission, ostensibly to reduce movement between the two? There are various incarnations of this brace for different models and apparently early trucks didn't have them at all until a problem was discovered. Some have an adjustable link and bushings at one end. I have seen no instructions for alignment or adjustment of this assembly. I am working on a truck where the brace was broken and re-welded. I don't believe the correct length was maintained. I am trying to find some specs to start with as a baseline. The truck has a bad vibration under acceleration from 25 to 30 mph. Front driveshaft was replaced with a used good condition shaft. (By another shop, same one that welded the brace)
I am going to have the front shaft balanced, re-install it, making sure the offset is correct, ( I believe it may be off a spline or two. )and while at it I want to make sure this brace is correct.
Any help is appreciated!
