Update- Transfer case popping out gear

[jimnance]

After suffering another series of events where the transfer case pops out of gear while descending hill and threatening lawsuits in the event of my death I finally got DC to do something.



The tech folks had the dealer order a series of parts and had them partially tear the transfer case apart. They were asked to measure the length of a shaft, the indexing of the holes which align the transmission and transfer case as well as inspecting the mating surface between the T/C and the transmission.



Well, they found that the mating surface on the transfer case had machining that appeared to be produced by a CNC machine gone insane. With that problem repaired so far I haven't had a repeat problem. Good news!!



The techs at DC have obviously seen this problem before because of the detailed instructions given to the dealer.

CNC machines do NOT go insane ... ... ..... OPERATORS do

Actually in this day and age, it was more likely the programmer.



Glad to hear they were able to ID and fix the problem.

I program a cnc router, man after a lightning storm that thing makes up it's own set of rules

Actually, once the programmer has verified his program and QC has accepted the part per design specifications, it is the operators job to locate the part properly on the fixture and maintain tooling.



Not to split hairs, but I have programmed for close to 20 years and have owned 2 of my own for the last 4 years
