Yay another 2nd gen Rodeo owner!
Pulling the t-case is a lot easier then on your Rodeo, at least it can actually come off. I dont know much about TOD cases though so not much help on trouble shooting.

Hey Giz! Your posts have been invaluable over on the planetisuzoo forums since I've owned the Rodeo. Sadly, my old girl is on her last legs, the frame having seen a few too many New England winters, and my arms having seen too many welding slag burns from making repairsOriginally Posted by Gizmo42

I hope the VX will serve me as well as the Rodeo. I know that I'll miss having the stick...I haven't owned a slushbox since my first car back in highschool. That being said, I'm eager to try out TOD in the snow!

Update!
Did a transmission flush and reconnected the front driveshaft. Badness ensues.
On the highway under acceleration I will occasionally hear a loud bang come from the transfer case. When this happens, the TOD lights for the front wheels light up at full torque for just a moment. I take this as being indicative that I have a chain that's hopping.
I have found zero information on parts needed for a chain replacement, and the workshop manual makes the job seem at least a little daunting. It appears the easiest solution at the moment will be to find a TOD t-case from a 98-05 Trooper.

Call my mechanic Sam at Espo's Auto 773-745-0600
He should be able to give you information on part #s and sources. I had my transfer case rebuilt, and (though I am having an issue with the front wheels binding durring tight turns now) he was able to source all the needed bits & peices.
