My truck has a C6 and 4.10s so highway driving leaves something to be desired. I usually drive around the city so this isn't an issue, but with the IDI rally coming up (573 miles away) I was looking at my options for adding an overdrive. While surfing Craigslist, I found someone locally selling a TH400 Turbo overdrive for $150. From the picture it looked just like a DNE2. I went ahead and picked it up. Sure enough it is a DNE2, the TH400 adapter was cracked but I wasn't going to use it anyways. My plan is to replace my carrier bearing with this unit supported with a crossmember. There will be a short shaft between my BW1356 and the DNE2, and then a custom driveshaft to the rear.
Currently the BW1356 has a slip yoke, but I'm thinking I will add a fixed yoke, and have the slip be in the input gear to the DNE2. Since there will be little movement between the t-case and overdrive I think this will be ok. Having two slip yokes seems like a bad idea.
It should all fit, and will sit approx 3" below the frame rails.
So this is the beginning of this saga. Starting with the case broken open.
Everything looks fairly serviceable, but I won't know till I get all the goop cleaned off. Anyone have any tips for quickly and easily getting all this gunk out of the case?
