should be fine its alot better then the 203 imo

 

the 205 is gear to gear, its the prefered tcase for the good old fords.

 

You won't be able to hurt that thing......they are as strong as a brick sh!t house.

 

alot of the monster trucks that aren't running profab transfer cases are running dual 205's these things are strong as hell. and all cast iron

 

That is what I was thinking to. Strong as hell. I am only asking because I met a guy who keeps ripping input shafts out of them. He ended buying a $800 dollar shaft and broke that too.

It is in a 76 f600 converted to a pick up truck. The engine is a 3208 Cat. It obviously makes alot of torque but it cant that much though. Thanks for the input.

 

I had a 12 valve dodge that i converted from 2x4 to 4x4 and used a divorced 205 with the 35 spline/ big bearing input, and broke the input shaft once and the output shaft once, there not as tough as they look lol, i did tug a war and pulled with this truck and seemed to always break either input or output, just my opinion.

 

just so you guys know those tcases where designed for a 3rd of the tq the diesels put out... they are stout behind most any gasser. depending on the power goals then it shoud do ok... a big cat motor only puts out couple thousand ftlbs of tq give er take so yeah they will break the sh!t out if small parts...

 

Just for clarity sake, the forementioned cat engine only produces trq rateing's in the 400 to 600ftlb range, in stock trim.. This would actually be less then what the 400/450hp cummins will produce .. I too very briefly considered the divorced 205 in my upcoming f450/dt360 conversion, but fiqured it wouldnt handle the weight,or trq the truck will be towing/produceing.. As it stands a transfer case option, and time for the project is my only hang up.. Pondering a way to divorce the np271 in the truck now, or move up to one out of a military m35 2 ton..

 

I agree totally, behind a gasser fine, but a diesel kinda stresses them to the limit of their design.

 

Thanks for the input guys. This is really going to put a dampner on my plans. That was my master plan to put a 4x2 zf6 and a 205. This trucks main purpose is to tug a truck. back to the drawing board...

 

you can use the divorced 273 they used in the 4500-5500 chevys and gmcs and flip it , becuase they are pass side drop...its electric shift though, may be able to convert to a manual shift to.. flipping it involves running the oil pump pickup in differnet location etc... I'd like to find the divorced input shaft from the 273 divorced case... or swap a NWF black box to the front of one with a drive flange / yoke on the front of the NWF black box.

 

really, the 205's couldn't handle that? i plan on pushing 500 hp/ 1300ft lbs through my 205... i have about 6 of them i've aquired along the way.

 

Apparently not. But I don't see why ppl to tug a truck. Why not just tie rope to u and another guys shaft and see who wins. Why wreck decent stuff for no real reason.

 

Because not everybody is using there truck as a daily driver, some guys wanna have some fun and have some money for a toy, I'm sure he will have more fun tuggin his at at truck pull than you will have "babying" yours down the road. TO EACH HIS OWN ......

i'm building mine for towing and truck pulling. can't wait to watch those cummins boys cry!

 

I don't baby my truck I abuse it every chance I get on pavement. It's only 2wd so it don't get off the road much

 

the 205 in the scout is awsome, but that's only 350 ft lbs....

 

I love that scout lol. And yea it would be hard to break behind only 350 pounds

 

Thanks, she's my baby! Gotta give her some tlc this spring.

 

Haha yea I've seen a few videos of it and u can always tell its the scout. I would love to drive it. The best DD 4x4 diesel shortwheel base decent mileage probably and u can take the top off

 

20 mpg on 39.5s and does 75 no problem! If you're ever in the scranton area come take it for a ride!

 

That is awesome.

Ok wish list need a old bronco or scout a idi diesel a 5 speed

Oh and hmm Scranton need to find a good excuse to go?

Isn't Scranton close to that one coal town where they accidentally light a coal path and it burns till this day?

 

well there's a town that was completely ruined by a burning coal vein. i think that's a few hours away. there was a town a few minutes from me where a vein caught fire and they had to dig til they hit rock and let it burn out but it didn't bother the town.

 

Yea its centerilia or somethinf on a map it looks close. I think still burns apparently it still has 12 residents. I think it be sorta cool to see but not live there.

 

Yeah that's it!

 

Wonder if ppl can visit it. For some reason stuff like that interests me. I heard about a place in MO called times beach where the level of a chemical sprayed on the roads to keep the dust down was a billion times stronger than agent orange. I side tracked this but I think we've concluded a np205 isn't strong enough for x amount of torque
