Hoover's broke a sy output shaft off the transfer case. They switched to the more desireable Ty transfer case with the 32 spline output shaft. That shaft is deceivingly long and has to take a lot of twisting. The viscous kinda buffers the shock that the output shaft on the trans takes. The output shaft on the transfer case though doesn't get any "buffering". Get a Ty setup if you don't already have it. How did the planetary in there look? Couple of the Ky guys have busted that planetary. That's a beef planetary with a thrust washer on each side. The bearings are damn tough and hold everything straight. Remember too that the output shaft on the transfer case has a "scoop" on it to pick up oil to bathe the planetary. This oil slot weakens it a bit but is neccessary. If you look at the input shaft of the T-case, it is solid until you get to the tip. There is a little plastic end on it. This is what the oil goes into and then out of 2 holes that shoots the ends of the planetary. I highly recommend pulling this apart and checking everything when the trans is done to be sure none of those holes are occluded.:tup:
You'll be shocked how much residual metal sludge builds up in the ring gear that the output shaft splines into.:eek: This crap could easily block a lube feed.

That's the only way to go. Our truck was so violent off the line we did it multiple times before we changed to the ty shaft and had no more problems. low 1.3X 60' it held up fine!

btw nice pics in the article robert!

Re: Bad Ass Syclone goes FWD =)

The AWD transfer cases differ between the Sy and the Ty.
The Sy is actually a BW 1372, 27 spline output shaft. dual planetary.
The Ty is the BW 4472 32 spline and triple planetary, so it is considered the stronger of the two..

Well it is kinda funny. Sounds like he's trying to pedal it. Maybe didn't know somethin' broke?

Heh, I guess that you can have the title for not only the fastest AWD truck but also FWD one as well
