    OK, I installed the extension housing in the truck....

    Update on my situation, I finally got around to dropping the pan....no metal. I wouldve rather seen metal because now Im worried Im wasting my time replacing the whole trans...any advice is appreciated from here. And a big thank you to all helpful responses so far.

    Ans I thought I got a good deal with a $400 transfer case! Let me know if you see another deal like that haha. Got the price down a lil on my guy but definitely not that much.

    Wow that's cheap, was it fully working or you only bought it to rebuild? I'm still stock and dont really plan to upgrade anytime soon, so Im just going to install the trans as-is more than likely.

    LOL WV, good idea... I didn't get around to dropping the pan or fluid yet but I've already began my search for a used trans. In yalls opinion what's a fair price? I have a guy ready to sell me one for $1200 that supposedly has 208k on it, might jump on it since it's a lot harder to find the...

    Well really the whole point of this post was to see if what Im experiencing is typical of a transmission f*cked up by incorrectly installing the extension housing. I dont really know if the noise is coming from the transmission although it seems likely based on the circumstances.

    Just some local mechanic who's usually given pretty decent advice before. But he certainly must not specialize in Allison transmissions. Now im not blaming him because i still should've researched more. I just want to get this truck on the road, so Im just gonna need to find the easiest/most...

    Thats correct, Ive only drove it maybe 30 miles since installing transfer case/drive line. Seems fine besides those issues. And to clarify when I say violent noise I mean a clunk or bang, not a grinding. Still can be very loud, also my truck has the single piece driveshaft.

    More or less what Im expecting unfortunately, I'll probably pull it later today. Shop work isn't in the budget so it's a DIY effort till she's down the road... General consensus is that a stock rebuild isn't worth it? I may just pick up a used trans if I have to. Yeah putting the extension...

    So please dont give me too much hell because I was told it would be fine and taking the trans out was a waste of time. Truck is a 2006 LBZ, bought as a project. I recently replaced my U joints, and transfer case. Driveshaft was balanced at the same time. Here are my current codes: PO700...
