The Warn unit in my Jeep came with it in 1974.
Had a few repairs over the years, bearings etc.
But the same unit.

Same here. The same one I also purchased in 74. That said, the sbc now residing under the hood of the 3B should be good for 550+ ft-lbs------

I have a Rogues Gallery of various pictures I took of overdrive failures.
I'll add yours to it and will be interested in your failure diagnosis.

Is there a link or a way to see these pictures? I have a saturn unit in my 69. I had an odd failure where the planetary gears wore into the shafts so much it started machining the windows open in the planetary housing they rode in. Got it all fixed but it made me wonder. I recently acquired a complete warn OD and thought maybe it might have better quality metal. Maybe someday I will get it installed. I have the 4:88 gears and the speed limitations with no OD are probably a good safety feature. Curious about those pictures... AL
