Left rear tire will not move..

[clearcut]

Here is the first update.

Looks like the transfer case ran dry.. Metal came out of with very little oil.. There was oil like film on underside and back windows


May need a whole new one.

Where would you find one if you needed one.

thanks

Parts for the T-case are available through this forum's host...

If you are looking for a replacement - THESE are the nicest I've seen - with a price to match (though I have no experience with them).

Clearcut,

Wow, metal particles and very little oil! A testament to checking and keeping fluid levels up, these things leak. Hope that is the only low oil area, good time to check them all. A new transfer case is certainly in order.

So let me get this straight. The transfer case is junk and only the left rear tire won't move?

Thanks. I didn't want to be the first one to point out that this "cause" doesn't fit the symptoms described.

^^ Ditto ^^

Perhaps there was several unfortunate "sequential" failures... but that still wouldn't, necessarily explain the cause/symptom suggested here. I've pulled up a chair & have popcorn on the stove...

Note: From what I remember, this was not a cheap vehicle. One would have thought (from the seller's glowing description anyway) that any pending issues were sorted.

With the left rear wheel raised up off the ground, the other wheels chocked and the transfer case in neutral, can you get the rear wheel to stick again by pumping the brakes for 5-ish minutes (to simulate the amount of braking you did when this occurred the first time)?

What did you find when you removed the left rear brake drum the other day?

How did the hub feel when you spun it with the brake drum off?

Again I ask:

Just drove it foward, went about 5 feet, then stopped.

What does this mean? Did it stop moving forward and bog down the engine, like it was being restrained or was everything otherwise hunky-dory?--engine ticking along or revving away as if there was no load on it?

Was the left rear wheel (or ANY wheels, really) scorching-hot immediately after this happened?

The transfer case lock up due to no oil. I need to replace case. Checking over drive unit of metal, some may have got into it. May need to repair or replace.

Brakes and rear end all are good for now

thanks

If your overdrive is like mine, they have separate oil reservoirs. The overdrive oil capacity is considerably less than the transfer case, so it should be checked regularly. Remember to check all the stuff that holds 90 wt underneath as it appears the previous owner did not. Oh, I got a chance to look at the transfer case darbsclt described and its a beauty! If a bit dear, $$$$.

I wonder if this has the Powerlok rear diff fitted to the NADA 6 cylinder's in 1967. It locking up would cause one of the rear wheels to lock.
Could be 2 systems have failed here !
RN has rebuit transfer boxes from time to time, or a whole new Gearbox/Transfer box # RNC637.
