T-case

[muddinlate86]

anyone know what the stock t-case is for my truck i cant find a tab on it any where

You have a couple choices, could either be a NewProcess 208 or BorgWarner 13-45 transfer case. The NP case is smooth, while the BW case has alot of ribs. Might find a thread for you with comparo pics, JSM84

Borg Warner case:

(This is a pic of a B-W 13-56, but the 13-45 has the same style and stamped ID location, left and below the shift indicator in the pic)

New Process 208:

Im gonna say its probably a NP208, thats what my 86 has in it. But to be sure look under your truck, for a either a red gear that says New Process on it, then itll say NP208F inside the gear. If is a BW next to the rear yoke itll say Borg Warner with the model number under that, i cant remeber if its a 13-56 or 13-45. Also the Borg Warner will have these rib lookin things on it, and the 208 wont.

wich one is better

which one is better

They're both good t-cases, but the NP208 may be easier to find. It seems to me that I've seen more mid-80's Broncos with the 208's and only a few with the 13-45's. But you can swap one for the other, as long as you swap the shifter linkage, too.

i have an 83 i think with an 208. do's anyone know what model the 205 came in?

 

[Justshootme84]

The 78/79 Bronco's had the NP205, some had the NP203.

It looks like it will be easy to see since your skid plate is not there. Unless the angle of that photo is different than I think.

 

[muddinlate86]

? skid plate?what

 

[Tennessee Jed]

It looks like the skid plate is not there by the photo, but it could just be the angle.

 

[muddinlate86]

skid plate on the rear end?nope dont think so?

 

[Tennessee Jed]

I am sorry I thought you were talking about the transfer case.

My 1994 has a huge skid plate at the transfer case.

 

[muddinlate86]

sorry must have not been clear enough but i wanted to knowvif it said the gear ratio on the rear end

 

[Justshootme84]

yes, there should be a metal ID tag bolted to the rearend center section. Your 86 Bronco most likely has the Ford 8.8" rear axle, which has a cover bolted onto the back of the center. It's also possible that you may have one of the last Ford 9" axles to be put on a Bronco. The rear cover on it is welded, so the center chunk comes out the front side.

The tag should be located on one of those bolts in either case. Deciphering the tag or your door jamb safety sticker axle code is posted in another recent thread. JSM84

If your truck has a tow package like mine youd have the 9" i would think because is a tougher axle. My 86 has the 9" in it.

 

[muddinlate86]

mine is the 8.8 i wish it waS THE 9 ut does anyone have a pic of the door sticker and can help me read it i realy want to know what i got

thanx

anyone got a link to tha thread about deciphering the tag on the rear end... mine is covered with crap and rusty but i did the scribbling a pencil on a piece of paper trick and i think i have a set of letters and numbers that make sense. i just need to know what they mean.
