thank you for this video i wouldent have tried to do this i would of paid someone else great job of explaining procedure i would like to buy you a beer some time i finished the rebuild and ready to install you are awesome for putting to gather this instructual format and your helpers are awesome too
your welcome I'm very grateful for your videos it save me on the idlers gears where 2 shims on each end of the bearing mine had 4 shims on one side and the other side had one shim and the bearings was about to fall apart thanks again has a bless week
@@GebBuilt Good day Sir! Do you know what the adapter between the transfer case and transmission is called? One of my mounting "legs" broke. I have the SM465 transmission. Thank you in advance.
I have used your petroleum jelly trick in the past it works good. Good tip. I see that you are a recycler, the white shirt that you use as your assembly rag. It is good to see you let your son help you. Let them help you when they are little and they will help you when they are older. Good video TFS
Fantastic tutorial! I was here for the twin stick by JB and watched all your rebuild videos too. I too think the gear driven TC is the best unit to run. Plus it's alot lighter haha. Keep them coming sir!
Thank you for you clear videos Gebbuilt. It helped me a lot. Really so nice the way you combine the work and videos, with your son being around in workshop. (This is a gift you have , gives me kind of happy feeling) I wanted so much and tried also a lot , to create interest and skills like this to my Son. Long time I had good hope. But he is 17 now, and still ...gaming remains prio1 in the life of a big part of next young gen. Really hope you do have that luck sharing same hobbys. I think gotta accept times changed and let them go their own chosen way. ( keep pushing to long, when it does not workout is also not the way ) My question: Rear output. I have noticed and still wonder why ? the 5 bolt seal retainer drain back channel, it ends op on a blind flange ( no oil hole lines up there ?) While on the front side, 4 bolt seal retainer it does line up with a logic drainhole on spot ! You even cutted the gasket intentions to line-up with an opening ? see at 17:32 Could it be the case the same (factory mold) alu retainers are used on different applications , and on our NP205 it has no function ? Only thing I can imagine is to "store" and prevent sludge/dirt getting into bearing groove. Keep up making new instr. vids please. Thanks Martijn ( the Netherlands)
Great work, nice and clear directions. I'm needed to do this to a dodge W250. It took out or vice versa, the input berring in the front axle. After I got it together it was good for 2 days. Then a funny sound I get down this morning and push on the front drive line. There was 1/2" of movement on the transfer case output. Lol.. time to learn something. Lol.. Im a subscriber now. Thanks!
Geb I couldn't thank you enough for this video I final started work on mine the rear output shaft needle bearing that the big gear rides on the shaft is wore slap out I order a bearing kit so I just hope the the wore bearings didn't eat up the shaft thanks again for the video it was a big help
Thank you very much! I’m so glad my material can help! I’ve got a little material on my channel on the 14 bolt but no complete rebuilds as of yet. Thank you for watching and commenting, God bless!
These are great videos. I just bought one from a F250 its divorced. Itll go in an older GM truck with a passenger side drop. That will put it in an odd position. I have room for it to set in the way it needs to go. I noticed the vent will face down. Can I simply tap n plug that vent and drill another vent in what will become the new top? Also is there any issues Ill have by running it laid to one side? thanks for the quality show how tooooos
Awesome, I'm so glad you enjoy the vids! I believe, from my experience you will be just fine running your NP205 in the manner that you describe and with the new vent location! I am confident that with some research you'll find others who have indexed their 205 this way too. Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I will address your other question in my Twin Stick video as well! God Bless!!
I'm currently rebuilding my Chevy NP205 and your video series have been immensely helpful so thank you! I do have one question though, after placing the rear output housing onto the output shaft at 12:30 in the video, I noticed that the protruding section on the back of the housing touches and rubs against the gear when trying to spin it. Is that normal or am I doing something wrong?
It should not rub. It has been a while since I've been in this case so I can't answer off of the top of my head but the video should show the whole process. God bless!
Hey Geb, I've got a speedo problem with my 71 Blazer with a 205 case. Speedo doesn't work, I pulled the cable and driven gear to check them and everything seems good. It feels like I can spin the speedo drive gear with my finger inside the case. What keeps the speedo drive gear from spinning on the output shaft? I didn't see splines on the output shaft or the inside of the speedo drive gear. Is it just torque from the output yoke that should press on it?
Great vid, Geb- I'm just now learning the basis of 4x4's and transfer cases. 1978 Dodge Club Cab 2WD but I want to make it a medium duty 4x4 (just to get up Mt. Hood from time to time). Is the NP205 overkill? Maybe a chain drive aluminum case (NP231/ 241/ 271) would be fine? You got a new subscriber!
That's awesome and thanks a ton for subscribing! I would say as long as you're not doing anything hard core you'll be fine with an aluminum chain drive transfer case. In all honesty I'd prefer a chain drive in any vehicle that I was going to put highway miles on since they're much quieter and in my opinion provide less rolling resistance. If you want bulletproof go 205 of course. God bless!
Hey Geb do you happen to know what seal number that is used in the adapter from transmission to the transfer case mine has two seals in the front and back cause mine looks like yours about 3 or 4 inch thanks for your videos awesome I got mine front output shaft done and rear output shaft done but I had to change the bearings that the big gear rides on the output shaft and the bearings that come with the kit the needle bearing was in the metal case if that make sense to you well ok thanks again awesome work and detailed in your videos God bless and hope you have a awesome week
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I have never been into an NP203 so unfortunately I can't answer your question. I would suggest scouring the internet to find some info about your NP203. Thank you for watching and God bless!
Thanks for making these videos! I've been following along step by step building mine out of a ford. When I was taking it apart I noticed the bearings were loose and they pretty much just fell out. So I thought new bearings would do the trick, but as I was putting the new output shaft bearing in it just slid right in also. No tapping was necessary. Is this normal?
Excellent question. You should be fine. Once everything is together they will be retained. I have seen them tight and loose with the same successful results. Thank you and God bless!
Geb,thank you so much for making these videos! You did a great job. They are very helpful especially the part of this video, installing the needle bearings in the output shaft. My np205 came out of my '91Dodge that got totaled. It has over 500,000miles on it but was in amazingly good shape. Im replacing all of the bearings, seals and inputshaft because the splines were worn (and im kinda anal!) The transfer case and engine ( cummins) are going into a 1947 ford 2ton. Thanks again for making these videos. I pray you and yours stay safe and protected from the covid 19 plaguing our country. God bless!
Don McKINNEY God bless you and yours too! I am so glad that my work can be of help! I really appreciate your input! Have a blast with your project it sounds awesome!
12:15 Working on a 1973 gmc t-case, I noticed there was a space between the Speedo gear and bearing on mine. I also noticed a difference in your output shaft from mine: on the bottom where the rollers ride right above it mine is smooth where yours steps down for about an inch. Did research and found an exploded view of my specific case, there is a spacer that goes on before the speedo gear. I'm not sure if this is correct because there is a small gap between the bottom of the bearing lock ring and the housing. Geb, if you or anyone else can clarify this I would appreciate it
@@GebBuilt well it’s back together and seems to spin fine, hope it works good when it’s back in use. Thanks for this awesome series man thinking about doing my 4 speed next
22:50 why can you just remove the clip and the washer? Then put the needle bearings in followed by the washer and then the clip? Do you have any problems with these seeping through the threads of the screws that hold the covers on? My divorced case came with star washers that seep all over the place.
Hi, my rear output assembly has surface rust on the inside of the cast iron housing after washing all the parts. What should I do about that, if it even matters? Thanks for these videos!
Jared Harding it’s not the end of the world but I would try to get it cleaned out of there then coat some oil or grease in there to prevent it. Great question. Have fun with your project and God bless!
Now when installing the roller bareings into the shaft at the end of this video, wouldn't it be easier to remove the snap ring and washer and then reinstall the washer and ring after the roller bareings are installed?
Good video, I'm making a 69 F-250 4wd, using a np 205 driverside drop. Just asking but why not take one apart that does have a problem or two so we know what to look for. God bless!
Fighting Gator this one was the one I had and I wanted to go through it before I put it back in service. All I had at the time. Good question and thank you for watching! God bless!
I'm doing the exact same thing you're doing to my np205. Thanks for the vids, HUGE help! I ended up taking it to a local machine shop to dip in the hot tank. Painted it last night with Chasis saver.. well see how she looks in the am.
Where did u order your rebuild kit for I'm having trouble finding one I have np 205 30 spline out put (aka front drives haft) for a 77 k5 blazer manule trans any help ??????plz and thankes
Hey bud, I'm rebuilding mine right now. Mine is cleaned and painted, but I need to clean the inside better to get more grit and and junk out. What did you use to clean the inside after painting?
I don’t recall exactly on that particular one but I usually use dish soap and flow a bunch of water through it then blow it dry with compressed air and let it sit in the sun to dry it really well. After that, brake cleaner! Great question and thank you for watching, God bless!
Jared Freemyer I believe they do make a sleeve for that yoke but you may need to search for it. Try Novak Conversions if you can’t get one locally. You should not need a different seal. Great question! God bless!
When it came to putting the 15 roller bearing down inside of the shaft, wouldn't it have been easier to remove the snap ring and washer to do that, or is this how it's commonly done? Thanks for the great video(s) and I hope to see more, including those that will come when you and your boys are working together!
I coulnt find a place for a new reply. Thanks Geb for the videos! I probably wouldnt have tried it if I hadnt come across them. Just finished mine up, not back in the truck yet. I have a divorced Ford 205, things are swapped on it for those looking, 4x4 and range rails are opposite, had me wondering if someone had been in it before, but I marked each as suggested so put it back together the way it had come apart after walking away from it and thinking about the ford having the front output on the drivers side. On the bench it wont shift if I screw the detent ball screws all the way in. It will be tough to get to once mounted back in the truck, thinking Ill put a washer\spacer under them, or will the leverage of the stick be enough once its mounted? Shifts smoothly but easy to go beyond each position with them backed off a bit.
Excellent question Hayden Vasterling and thanks a ton for watching! I am 99.9% certain that once you get your shifter mounted you will have nice crisp shifting. I am so glad you enjoy my vids and I hope this helps, God bless!
It would be probable, but you would still need to positively identify your exact transfer case. The NP203 looks similar and is another probability. Thank you very much for watching and commenting! I wish I could help you better, but You'll have to do a bit of investigating under the truck. God Bless!!
+ChevyK5 - It is an NP205 transfer case. It is used in many applications, but I am not sure that it was offered as a stock piece in the Blazer. The NP205 has a fairly distinct appearance slightly resembling an NP203, but very different than the aluminum cases. I know there are sites out there that have detailed pics to assist in identifying your transfer case that you could go to for reference. Also, the aluminum cases generally have a circle shaped ID tag riveted to it. I now I didn't answer your question, but I hope I pointed you in the right direction. Thank you and God bless!
Geb, How did you clean and paint the 205? Is it safe to just dunk the entire case in mineral spirits? Also is there any good tools to removing 40 years of grime?
Hi, great question! I power wash the heck out of it before I even take it apart, then yes I soak the gutted case in mineral spirits and work it over with a scraper and wire brush. Then I go over it with a wire wheel, wire brush, and laquer thinner to get as much old paint off as possible. I know it's old school compared to media blasting but it's what I do. Thank you so much for watching and commenting! God bless!

Is the dodge version of the 205 transfer case a whole lot different from the Chevy ones. I have one that came from a 93 dodge.
is there supposed to be play in the front driveshaft output? or did i not ut the needle bearing cap in deep enough????
These are great videos. I just bought one from a F250 its divorced. Itll go in an older GM truck with a passenger side drop. That will put it in an odd position.

wouldnt happen to have the part number of the rebuild kit would ya?

Is this transfer case out of a 1974 Chevy k5 blazer
+ChevyK5 - It is an NP205 transfer case. It is used in many applications, but I am not sure that it was offered as a stock piece in the Blazer. The NP205 has a fairly distinct appearance slightly resembling an NP203, but very different than the aluminum cases.

I never saw you put a Speedi Sleeve on the shaft, did you install it or go without?
I watched it again and saw that you used emery cloth and tapped the seal in further for a fresh spot on the shaft, did it leak?
No Leaks! God bless!
