My 78 ford f 250 with dana 60 and t 205 tranfer case

Asked by plowjunk Dec 22, 2008 at 11:05 AM about the 1978 Ford F-250

Question type: Car Customization

Ok, i put a dually rear 10 1/4 with 4.10 ratio with a dana 60 front. The problem is it seems like there is some bind [growling] in the transfer case when on the gas in reverse, or off the gas in forward. only happens when tranfer case is in 4wd. The tire are the same size. I switched transfer cases and nothing changed. What could it be? Front pinion bearing? Maybe a smaller front tire would help? I dont want to gun money at it. Any suggestions?  Thanks

are the gear ratios the same in the front as in the rear?? and is the transfer case fully engaging?
