Exodus 4x4
New member
Ran into a little issue on the way home. I noticed an unusual “grind” when we went to leave and I put it in revere. I didn’t think much of it at the time, and chalked it up to the t-case linkage might have been a little off. Well it was more than that. We managed to get about 40 minutes down the road and high range let go. Luckily I was in a town when it happened, so I was able to shift to low range and ease into a nice parking lot to set up shop. For those that don’t know, when you have an LS swap and you aren’t running an Atlas, you still have to have a modified 241J transfer case so that the input shaft will match up to the GM transmission. Fortunately for me I happened to have one at the shop ready to go, so a quick call to my wife and one of my techs, I had a replacement on the way with ALMOST all the tools needed.
With another transfer case on the way, we went ahead and removed the exhaust, driveshafts, and transfer case while we waited. Things were looking pretty good until I realized I was missing one tool (10mm allen) and had forgotten to tell my tech to throw it in the tool bag for my wife. She had already shown up and left again on a parts run to Autozone for some rtv, when some familiar faces showed up. Sure enough Eddie and Cindy were kind enough to loan me theirs so I could fill the replacement up with fluid before installing it. Not only were they kind enough to leave one of their tools, but Mel and Lisa Wade were there as well and made a pretty generous offer. Mel offered to load the Jeep on his trailer and haul it to Exodus Jeeps for us. Things were pretty much under control at this point and there was no way I was going to let him go so far out of his way to help me, but it was extremely nice of him and we greatly appreciated it.
Again, thank you Eddie and Cindy for not only stopping in to check on us but for lending your tools as well. It definitely made a stressful situation a little bit easier.
