Transmission Jack

[GreenMtnMan]

Looking for some input. I have to pull the transfer case out of a Ford F250 Highboy. My local NAPA can get this jack in one days notice. I used to just muscle stuff like this, but I'm not as young as I used to be!

Wish you were closer, just saw a used one on Houston Craigslist for $40.

just buy the cheap azz attachment for a floor jack

Personally I like my 2 stage one on a lift but thats just me

you cant con a buddy with some beer and pizza to lend a hand? that transfer case should be manageable for two guys. beer and pizza is alot cheaper.

I have two NAPA trans jacks, use frequently with no issues. Used on HD truck transmissions and fire truck transfer cases.

Good luck... there is no substitute for a good trans jack, period

Bash away if you wish, but, I got a HF trans jack that has worked perfectly for the about 6 times I've used it.
Like was said, the jack makes it easier than having 2 guys under there fighting for space and the potential to drop it.

Are you using it "often" or occasionally?

Same here. I bought mine to pull a transfer case off of a full size '87 Bronco. I used it for pulling transmissions on my sons' cars over the years. I would have paid 10 times as much for an OTC brand as my HF.

Personally I just use my floor jack to drop the transfer case in a highboy. Its not heavy just a little awkward.

I was looking at the HF ****** jack last week. I have two HF floor jacks and they work really well. nice to hear positive feed back on the trans jack. will add one to my collection.

Is it a diesel??

350 lbs +.. I have a dodge 5.9 diesel 48RE and "ANY" help from "ANYTHING" that saves your fingers is a plus.. Don't care if u got it from the $1 store.

I don't usually comment anymore on ( - ) post - but.. Well I can't go down that road so to the OP.. Whatever works.

+1 for the harbor frieght jack. My friend bought one about 6 years ago now and we have used that on countless projects. Well worth the money!

I don't have either, and I realize theres not a lot of deviation with transmission jacks, but they do look remarkably similar and the specs are basically identicle, I wouldn't be surprised if they have the same oem, just one is $150 cheaper
