Gary Lewis Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Someone on Facebook asked a question about driveshafts that our documentation didn't answer. (He was looking for 4wd F150 info and we have F250 only.) But I got to looking at what I'd put out there and it was/is confusing. So I've tentatively revised things and I'd like you to take a look at it. The new page is at Driveline/Driveshafts. (BUT, WHEN USING THE MENU AT THE MOMENT YOU HAVE TO CLICK DRIVESHAFTS TWICE. I'll change that if y'all agree that this is the better approach.) Previously the pages looked like what is shown below. With the exception of the Rear Axle Vents, I think the new info on the Driveshafts page replaces all of the ones below. Do you agree? Driveline: Driveshafts: (Click twice) Coupling Shafts 4wd Driveshafts Rear Driveshafts: F100 2WD Driveshafts F150 2WD Driveshafts F150 4WD Driveshafts F250 2WD Driveshafts F250 4WD Driveshafts Rear Axle Vents F350 2WD Driveshafts F350 4WD Driveshaft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85lebaront2 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Just for S&G I tried looking up Darth's original and it should be under 80/86 F350 2WD, 7.5L C6 168" WB, ok found that then there are notes that don't exist. Interesting, very interesting as used to be said on Laugh-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, very interesting as used to be said on Laugh-in.Bill - That was Arte Johnson. Anyway, I don't understand about the notes that don't exist. If you go to the new Driveshafts page and the Applications tab it says the 1980/86 F350 2wd's are on Page 31. Here's a screen grab from the bottom of that page, replete with notes. Did you go to the old page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the 155" WB, Super Cab.I'm sure I checked and I have a NP 208 Transfer Case.The notes only referenced the BW 1345 and BW 1356.Am I missing something?

Gary Lewis Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 I looked for my truck also. Found everything, I think. I have the 155" WB, Super Cab. I'm sure I checked and I have a NP 208 Transfer Case. The notes only referenced the BW 1345 and BW 1356. Am I missing something? I agree that it shows either the 1345 or 1356. And I can't seem to prove it from the Transfer Case page, but I am pretty sure that all 460's got the 1345 or 1356. As per the discussion on Dad's Truck Build, the NP208 and the BW1345 are interchangeable. Any chance yours has been changed out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 First, Darth is 2WD not 4WD, no factory DRW trucks were 4WD in 1986. Here is the screen grab from what should be where Darth's would be listed. 7.5L, C6, Ford 10.25" 3.55 rear, 168" WB 86 year built 08/86 at Oakville Ontario assembly plant. Bill - I think the penny just dropped. You said " there are notes that don't exist", and I was looking at the Notes column and checking to see if there's a number in there that isn't included at the bottom of the page. Instead, I think you meant that your truck doesn't exist in the listing. That it just says "85" and not "85/86" in the row where your truck should be. What I can do is edit the page and make it show "85/86" if you can confirm that the rest of the info in that row is correct for Darth. I know you said in another post that you are going to be busy, so that may not happen soon. I am going to be busy as of tomorrow with Janey's recovery, so understand. Just check it out when you can, please. All - No one has said that they dislike the new approach. In fact, no one has even mentioned the approach, just the details. But, the details are directly from the MPC. So while we can edit the details if they are wrong, as discussed with Bill, I'm also concerned with how the new approach works. I need to eliminate the old pages (actually redirect their URL's to the new page) if we agree that's the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was simply using what I knew to compare it to. Sorry if it wasn't easy to find. Since the list itself is from Ford's information, maybe it was just never updated? The listing for 85 says note 64, I couldn't find note 64 on either screen grab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go up a page or two and notes 63 and 64 are there. Glad you like the new approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Quite possible that T Case has been swapped out. But, aftermarket parts show a listing for the NP 208 for this truck. Hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
