Building the ultimate Dana 18 transfer case! After months of planning the Dana 18 for the Willys CJ3B 4 speed swap is ready to go together. Tons of trick parts from places like Advanced Adapters and Teraflex! Plenty of upgraded parts that way out perform stock! And my little tips and tricks to hopefully make your Dana 18 leak proof, bullet proof, and custom! This is an exciting step in the 4 speed swap series because it means it’s time to start bolting things into the Jeep!

I took the interlock pill out of my Dana 18’s in my 55 M38A1 and my 65 CJ 5. They did that to prevent people from torquing the yoke off the rear axle or the back of the transfer case. When I’m out running trails , I lock the front hubs and run around in 2 wd low and when I start climbing or 4 wd is needed, I shift in and out of 4 wd as needed. It is also nice to have the 2wd low when backing trailers.

@SevenBarSalvage Год назад

That makes sense, thank you!

@TheOldaz1 Год назад

This is a great instructional for anyone doing up a transfer case and the relaxed way you went about it makes it a whole lot less scary. Thanks for sharing.

@SevenBarSalvage Год назад

I really appreciate this comment! I try and make my videos come across that way I’m glad it’s working. Thank you for watching!

@xfactorautomotive1496 Год назад

Excellent video, as always, Jacob. One note on the shifter lock out pin you left out...that's fine with the twin stick because it allows you to have 2WD and 4WD low range. BUT, with the single stick, it MUST be in there or it just won't work. Just thought I'd mention that in case a viewer was doing a single stick. As for the large hole case, you were correct that it was 66-71, but to the best of my knowledge, the large input hole was V6 only. They are nice too because it allows the transfer to be removed without having to take off the gear from the trans....the gear will slide through the larger hole.

@SevenBarSalvage Год назад

Excellent information as always! I didn’t know that about the single stick but it makes sense! Thank you for sharing!

@danielhaapala7042 Год назад

I don't know if I'll ever use this very informative info but I sure am glad to have it. When I was young ( I'm 75) my dad saw I had an interest in how things worked so he had me take apart fishing reels and put them back together. At 15 I finished rebuilding a Chevy 6 cyl engine and got to continue my driving lessons. Thanks for what you do for those who want to learn.

@SevenBarSalvage Год назад

There’s something rewarding about fixing and rebuilding things! Thank you for watching!

@theamaturepro Год назад

I relate a lot to your story! The big difference is growing up my dad was always pissed at me for taking things apart and putting them back together. I now understand why, but I'm so glad I kept with it. When I was 15 I was given a old Chevy with a 6. In one day I had it stripped to a rolling chassis. Dad was as mad as he ever got with me. But I went through that entire chassis and cleaned every inch to shiny metal. Replaced all the seals and primed and painted the whole thing. Did the same with the body. By time I was 18 I had a pretty complete 51 truck. When I was 20 I actually had the unique privilege of teaching my father how to rebuild an engine and we also built an entire wiring harness from scratch. Not many kids get to teach there dad. My grandpa was an incredible mechanic, but when my dad was growing up, he was in the fields running whatever machine worked while grandpa fixed what didn't. So my dad didn't learn a whole lot when it came to mechanics. He ended up going to college and becoming a doctor and surgeon instead! I'm now 30 and my dad and I work on something almost every weekend.

Great build,a lot of work getting every thing ready to put together and some machine work to make those Tera Low Gears work,lucky finding them,with the T-18 and modified D-18 you should be a happy camper,Metalshaper,Brian,cannot be beat,he has forgot more than a lot know about Jeeps,watched all of his videos,they have helped me many times,I know why you left the gear off between Trans,Transfer Case,you may want it to be a surprise in next video,so wont say anything to spoil it!Thanks Jacob,keep the videos coming!

@charlesnoel9081 5 месяцев назад

Your video is great. Very detailed. I need to do the same to my '58 cj-5. I build machinery by trade. On the use of the crimp nut rather than the castle nut. It's best if you have two or three threads sticking out of the nut to get the correct locking you are looking for. You can remove the needed metal from the bottom of the nut to get the correct depth and torque. Without the exposed threads, the locking crimp may not hold. Also, you got your second shift lever spring on the wrong side. the spring holds the lever end into the shift rail. With the spring to the inside of the shift lever, it will keep the lever leaning away from the groove in the shift rail. Thanks for the great video that will help people for years to come.

Excellent job/video. I have a T-18 and researching how to make it not LEAK. Lots of people permatex the splines, threadseal every bolt, upgrade the pan, and sometimes use two felt (or combo with rubber) seals. Would be great to see you really emphasize these parts of the build. Thanks for this.

@SevenBarSalvage 11 месяцев назад

Thank you! I’ve seen those methods (tried some myself) I guess I was trying to show the factory way but you’re right all those options couldn’t hurt anything! The factory pans are really think and deform under the bolts. Thank you for the suggestions and for watching!

@scubasteve7946 Год назад

Awesome work. Looks great. IMHO, with the 4 speed you could have skipped the terra lows and been happy. That compound low 1st gear really drops it down slow!! Especially since it's in front of the T-case, it's basically doubling the crawl ratio over the 3 speed anyways. Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone was contemplating the similar thing.

@SevenBarSalvage Год назад

I agree, the low gears might even be too low but I hadn’t seen any for sale and I jumped on the chance to have some. Worst case I swap in a stock t case and throw the low gear case in a different Jeep! Thank you for watching!

@SF-fm9hs Год назад

if you are having a problem tighten or loosening the fork set screws. A 3/8 extension will work. use the dive part of the extension will fit perfect over the set screw, and use a adjustable on the square drive to turn it .

@theamaturepro Год назад

You always do a great job. I'm sure someone else has said this, but you could have put both gear sets in loose and not had to alter the housing. In your case, I probably would have done the same though instead of taking apart everything. Thanks to you, now I know, so thanks! Your videos have helped me a lot. Not so much learning the tech side, but for figuring out a plan of attack.

I working to rebuild my TC 18 for my cj2 a and I put 2 of them in part to choice the best parts. About the speed gear used to connect the cable one of my TCase have a small rubber tube how look to play as a seal ( before you put the retaining screw on)? near a 1/2 inch long and not boder the shaft to turn. I have the 1 inch and 1/8 shaft a bit different.Good job , I am in Quebec and i will put a 1943 GPW body on a early cj2A 1945 frame, with double wheel in the back.Thank your job and video will help me... waite for my parts i change.

@SevenBarSalvage Год назад

@kululv Год назад

The paper gasket under the seals is to prevent leaks around the seal because of the metal casing. We always put gasket sealer around the sealer housing to prevent leakage on the outside of the seal. If you have a rubberized seal as you showed, those will seal also on the outside! I'm surprised that you guys don't lube the seals and sealing surface before you put the yokes in! And I think your emergency brake spring is in the wrong way! Where do you always find these obsolete parts? I want a low gear too, so where should I look for one? Do you remember who had the 5:1?

@SevenBarSalvage Год назад

You’re right it is a good idea to put a little lube on fresh seals. I’m going to look into the spring orientation I’ve seen it 3 different ways you’ve got me thinking! I just keep my eyes open and my ear to the ground… and a little luck 😉

Great video. I am in the process of rebuilding my T90 with the lower T90C gearing. I am also about to order a D18 with the 3.15:1 gearing. Were you able to build a D18 that does not leak? I hate getting oil on the parking brake.

@SevenBarSalvage 4 месяца назад

Willys = WILLIS, as far as pronunciation goes and we all want to seem like experts and pronounce the name right, right? Of course people will want to pronounce it their own way, but it's a proper name (Willys-Overland founder John North Willys) and anyone who purposely mispronounces your name gets a punch in the face until they get it correct. 😀
