(Vol. III, New York: Joseph F. Wagner, 1910)
Case: Discussing recently, with some fellow priests, the question of the papal benediction "in articulo mortis," there seemed to be a considerable difference of opinion as to how often it might be given to the same sick person during the progress of the same illness. Some of the clergy thought that it might be given or repeated whenever Extreme Unction was given or repeated when such person made a good confession. Others seemed to think that if the sickness continued for some time and the sick person had the misfortune to fall, from time to time, into mortal sin, the blessing ought to be repeated each time that the sick person received absolution for mortal sin. Is there any certainty in this matter, or may a priest follow whatever seems good and reasonable to him?
Answer: A priest may not follow whatever seems good to him in this matter, as the Sacred Congregation of Indulgences has, at various times, answered all the above questions. Let us take them up, one after another. First, may the papal blessing be given more than once during the same sickness? At least, may it be repeated whenever Extreme Unction may be repeated during a protracted sickness? No, the papal blessing, in articulo mortis, may not be given more than once during the same sickness, even though it might be allowed to repeat the administration of the Sacrament of Extreme Unction. St. Alphonsus and the theologians generally permit the repetition of Extreme Unction during the same sickness about once a month, because if the sick person continues to live for a month or more after having been anointed, the original crisis or danger of death, or periculum mortis, is supposed to have passed and a new danger to have supervened, which renders lawful a new administration of Extreme Unction. But the same cannot be said for the repetition of the papal blessing, because the Congregation of Indulgences forbids it. Asked whether the last blessing might be given "twice or more in the same illness that is unexpectedly prolonged, even if the sick person should not recover," the Sacred Congregation replied, September 23, 1775: "Only once in the same grave illness." Again, when the Sacred Congregation was approached with the doubt: "Whether the Apostolic Blessing could be given repeatedly to the sick, should a new danger of death return," it replied, on September 24, 1838: "In the negative, if the same danger of death should endure; in the affirmative, if the sick should recover, and thereafter for whatever reason again be in danger of death."
The reason why it is not permitted to repeat the blessing during the same sickness is because such repetition is useless. The plenary indulgence granted by the Pope to the dying can be gained only once and that only at the instant of death. If the sickness continues, the indulgence also continues, to be gained at the moment of death. If the sick person does not die, neither does he gain the indulgence. If the sick person recovers and later on contracts a new sickness, he must receive a new blessing, because the former one passed with the passing of the sickness, for which alone it was granted.
The second question to be answered is this: If the last blessing was received in the state of mortal sin, ought it to be repeated when the sick person is absolved from mortal sin? Again the answer is no. This was the answer made to this question by the Congregation of Indulgences on June 20, 1836. As the plenary indulgence is not gained when it is given, but only at the moment of death, it makes no difference quoad hoc, whether the sick person be in the state of grace or in mortal sin at the time the blessing is given. The indulgence is gained at the instant of death, at the moment when the soul leaves the body, and if at that moment the dying person is in the state of grace and has complied with the other conditions for gaining the indulgence he gains it, even though he was in mortal sin at the time the priest gave him the blessing. Therefore, Fr. Schneider, S.J., in his work, Rescripta Authentica, p. 701, after reminding his readers that the blessing can be given only once during the same sickness, adds: "None of these things, therefore, impede the effect from taking place, as long as the sick person at the actual moment of death is properly disposed; it is for that moment that the indulgence is given."
For the reasons just given it follows that it is not lawful to repeat the last blessing, even though the sick person, after having received it in the state of grace, should afterward fall into mortal sin. As was just said, the plenary indulgence granted by the blessing is intended only for the moment of death. If the dying person, who has received the blessing while in the state of grace and then has had the misfortune to fall into mortal sin, is in the state of grace at the moment of death, that is all the Sovereign Pontiff requires for the gaining of the indulgence. And for this reason, the Congregation of Indulgences, on June 20, 1836, replied that it was not necessary, and therefore not lawful, to repeat the papal blessing in articulo mortis, even though the dying person should fall into mortal sin, after having received it. And this was the third question to be answered.
For the further illustration of this matter it might be well to recall to mind that all persons who are in danger of death, and who are capable of receiving sacramental absolution, may and should receive this papal blessing. Therefore, first, even those who are unconscious and who, even through their own fault have not received the last Sacraments, ought to receive the last blessing; second, also children who have never been to Confession or Holy Communion, provided only they are old enough and capable of committing sin; third, all those who are condemned to death for crime, provided they repent; fourth, soldiers, before going into battle; fifth, all persons who are in danger of death, whether through sickness or from some external cause.
The conditions for gaining this plenary indulgence are:
First, the same conditions that are required to gain any indulgence: that is to say, the person must be in the state of grace when the indulgence is gained and must have the intention of gaining the indulgence.
Second, he must be fully resigned to the will of God in dying.
Third, he must pronounce the holy Name of Jesus with his lips, if possible, and if he be not able to speak he must at least invoke the holy Name of Jesus in his heart.
Special attention is called to this last condition of pronouncing the most holy Name of Jesus. It is required by the Congregation of Indulgences in order to gain the plenary indulgence in articulo mortis, September 22, 1892. It is something very easily overlooked, and, therefore, we direct especial attention to it.
Finally, it is customary to give this blessing after confession, Viaticum and Extreme Unction. It is not necessary to follow this order, but it is generally followed. In which case it is necessary to repeat the Confiteor three times, i.e., once before giving Viaticum, a second time before Extreme Unction, and the third time before giving the last blessing.
In a case of extreme need, where no time is to be lost, the Confiteor is omitted and the priest begins the blessing at the words "May Our Lord Jesus Christ," etc. If there were danger even in the delay required for this formula, then the priest ought to begin with the words: "By the faculty given to me by the Apostolic See, I grant thee a plenary indulgence and remission of all sins, in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen." If there be no time even for this much of the prescribed formula, some theologians are of the opinion that the formula, "May almighty God, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost bless thee. Amen" is sufficient for the valid imparting of the apostolic blessing and the plenary indulgence (Cf. Schuch, O.S.B., Pastoral Theologie, p. 823).

Re: Chances to Representation of Others Before the United States Patent and Trademark Office; Proposed Rule, 68 Federal Register 69442 (December 12, 2003)
The Public Patent Foundation ("PUBPAT") is a not-for-profit legal services organization working to protect the public from the harms caused by wrongly issued patents and unsound patent policy. PUBPAT provides the general public, particularly those persons or businesses otherwise deprived of access to the system governing patents, with representation, advocacy and education. PUBPAT appreciates the opportunity to offer comments on the Changes to Representation of Others Before the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("PTO'); Proposed Rule set forth in the above referenced notice ("Notice").
Adopting Ethical Rules Based on the Model Rules is a Good
First Step
Towards Providing Practitioners with Consistent Ethical Guidance
The PTO's current Office Rules of Professional Conduct ("PTO Rules") differ in significant aspects from the Model Rules of Professional Conduct of the American Bar Association ("Model Rules") and the ethical rules adopted by most state bars. When differences in ethical rules arise, practitioners are forced to make tough decisions regarding which rules should govern their conduct. This is a great burden on practitioners, with a correspondingly damaging effect on clients who end up receiving representation that either violates an applicable ethical rule expressly or, if the attorney fails to advance the client's interests as fully as is otherwise permissible, violates the duty of zealous representation. See David Hricik, Trouble Waiting to Happen: Malpractice and Ethical Issues in Patent Prosecution, 31 AIPLA Q.J. 385, 2003. Either result impedes a properly working patent system because it leads to representation that is either inadequate or improper.
Changes to Representation of Others Before the U.S. P.T.O.; Proposed Rule 2
Comments of the Public Patent Foundation
February 10, 2004
The most critical issue with respect to ethical considerations for patent practitioners is that they be given clear guidance. Modeling the PTO Rules after the Model Rules is a welcome step towards that goal, but will not completely achieve it. There will remain circumstances where practitioners are forced to resolve conflicts between the PTO Rules and the other ethical rules applicable to them, namely the rules of the state within which they practice.
Specific guidance needs to be given regarding how conflicts between the PTO Rules and any other ethical rules applicable to a practitioner should be resolved. In this regard, the case of Buechel v. Bain, 2000 WL 142598 (ICY. App. Div. Sept. 28, 2000) is an example of a state court deciding that, with respect to conduct related to patent prosecution, its own state ethical rules took precedence over the PTO Rules.
Practitioners should not be forced into a catch-22 whereby their behavior is adjudged by the PTO according to the PTO Rules and by a state according to the state's rules. Such a situation may lead to practitioners having no course of conduct that satisfies the ethical rules of both adjudicators. The PTO is encouraged to help practitioners resolve these issues.
An Annual Registration Fee Is Not In the Public's Interest
Many registered practitioners never practice before the office, but nonetheless find value in maintaining their registration because clients often prefer to have registered patent practitioners handling their matters. For example, practitioners that solely litigate or license patents do nothing with the PTO other than maintain their registration. Such practitioners would very rarely, if ever, be the basis of disciplinary proceedings at the PTO.
As such, asking these practitioners to carry the costs of the disciplinary system equally with their patent prosecution colleagues who practice before the PTO on a routine basis is unfair. The cost of the system should be borne proportionally by those who burden it; namely, those who practice before the PTO should bear the cost of its disciplinary system.
Further, the statements in the Notice that an annual registration fee would stop the costs of the practitioner disciplinary system from being passed on to applicants and the general public is entirely incorrect. Notice at 69450. In fact, the exact opposite is true.
Whether hidden in the other costs of the patent system, or expressly called out and charged to practitioners directly, the cost of the PTO's disciplinary system will eventually be passed on to applicants. If an annual registration fee is adopted, practitioners will simply raise their rates as needed in order to compensate for this additional cost of being a registered patent practitioner.
Changes to Representation of Others Before the U.S.P.T.O.; Proposed Rule 3
Comments of the Public Patent Foundation
February 10, 2004
This means that the costs will be passed on to more of the general public than under the current system because all practitioners, even those that do not practice before the PTO, will be forced to pass this cost on to their clients. Patent litigation and licensing clients will now be forced to pay higher rates in order to receive patent legal services that have nothing to do with the PTO. Such clients, having subsidized the PTO's disciplinary system, cannot even use that system because the activities of their practitioners are not within the PTO disciplinary system's jurisdiction. Why make these clients pay for something they cannot even use?
If the PTO's response to these comments is that the amount of the annual registration fee is so trivial that it will not have any real detrimental effect on the nonapplicant clients of patent practitioners, then one is left to ask whether changing the system will have any real beneficial effect on applicant clients. In essence, an annual registration fee would still force applicants to bear some of the cost of the PTO's disciplinary system. The only difference created by instituting an annual registration fee would be to transfer some of the burden to non-applicants.
Lastly, an annual registration fee for state bars makes sense because all attorneys charged the annual registration fee are subject to the state's disciplinary system, regardless of the type of law they practice or the kind of matters they handle. This is different from the PTO's disciplinary system, which only has jurisdiction over practitioners with respect to matters before the PTO. Therefore, an annual registration fee is not appropriate for PTO registered practitioners.
Mandatory Continuing Education for Practitioners Is In the Public's Interest
PUBPAT agrees wholeheartedly with the PTO that "[i]t is in the interest of the practitioner community, applicants and the efficiency of the USPTO that practitioners keep their legal knowledge current." Notice at 69453. Unlike the annual registration fee discussed above, a uniform continuing education requirement placed on all registered practitioners is in the public interest because registered practitioners are expected to have an understanding of the entirety of current patent law, regardless of whether they counsel applicants or not.
The proposed mandatory continuing education will place only a minimal, if any, additional burden on practitioners, many of whom already have other continuing education requirements placed on them. Courses offered by pre-approved sponsors could be used to satisfy both the PTO and other continuing education requirements placed on practitioners, such as those of the states within which they practice. For those practitioners who choose not to satisfy their PTO continuing education requirements by attending a pre-approved sponsor's program, the proposed use of the Internet to deliver education materials and certify a practitioner's scrutiny thereof would provide an easy mechanism for satisfying the requirements.
Changes to Representation of Others Before the U.S.P.T.O.; Proposed Rule 4
Comments of the Public Patent Foundation
February 10, 2004
Although a system which allows for either of these two alternatives would most assuredly ensure the PTO, clients, and the public at large, that practitioners have an awareness and understanding of current patent law, providing for satisfaction of the continuing education requirements only through attendance of a pre-approved sponsor's course would also be acceptable. In order to ensure access for all practitioners to such courses, the PTO could require sponsors to have an economic hardship policy that would allow practitioners of limited means to attend such courses. Many states, including New York, have such requirements. In this manner, imposing the continuing education requirements need not await, or be dependent upon, implementation of the PTO's Internet delivered alternative.
In closing, PUBPAT thanks the PTO for the opportunity to provide these comments and is available to provide any further comments or assistance the PTO might desire.
Respectfully submitted,

Where Does Your Food Come From?; Ag Week Continues Through Saturday
Where does your food come from? If you're like many Americans, the answer to this question is 'the grocery store'. The grocery store isn't where food comes from – it is from where it's distributed. In reality, far too many people are unaware of the role of American agriculture in their daily lives... and what it really takes to have food on their dinner table.
Just a few generations ago, most people were a part of and had friends and relatives involved with agriculture. At one time, much of our population was involved in farming. In 1940, the average farmer grew enough food for only 19 other people and that was pretty close to enough. In the 1960s, one farmer supplied food for 26 people.
Since farmers only account for two percent of the current American population, they have to work a lot harder to feed everyone and they are doing a great job. The average American farmer now grows enough food for 144 other people in the U.S. and abroad. The need for food produced in the United States is dramatic. Agriculture is this nation's #1 export and vitally important in sustaining a healthy economy.
It is not just the farmer who makes our food possible. The entire agriculture industry, all the way to the grocery store, provides a vital chain that brings food to every citizen and millions of people around the world.
Frankly, it's easy to take agriculture for granted in America. Our food is readily accessible, safe and economical. Because of efficient agriculture management and production practices, consumers are able to spend less of their income on food than in other parts of the world. The average American can earn enough disposable income to pay for food for a year in about 40 days. Compare what people around the globe pay for their food:
Americans spend only 10 percent of their income on food, whereas the French spend 18 percent, British spend 22 percent, Italians spend 23 percent, the Japanese spend 26 percent, and consumers in Indians spend up to 51 percent of their income on food.
For this, we're unbelievably fortunate... but that doesn't mean we don't have an obligation to recognize how it's made possible. National Ag Week, promoted by the Agriculture Council of America March 14-20, is a good time to reflect and be grateful for American agriculture... and to share that message with others.
The Owen County Ag Day Committee invites the public to commemorate our proud farming tradition by joining us at our annual Ag Day Dinner being held Monday, March 22 at the Owen County Fairgrounds in Spencer. Doors will open at 6:00 p.m., with dinner served at 6:30. A short program will follow themed – "Owen County Agriculture: Through the Years." Tickets for this evening of celebration are $5 and are available from the Owen County Extension Office (812-829-5020) and the Owen County Soil and Water Conservation District (812-829-2605). Please join us in recognizing the men and women of our community that keep us well fed!

(CNSNews.com) – President Barack Obama did not mention the word "tax" in his remarks responding to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision that the individual mandate of the Affordable Care Act was a tax that could be levied by Congress.
Obama said the high court's decision was not about politics but about Americans "whose lives will be more secure" because of Obamacare.
"The highest court in the land has now spoken," Obama said. "We will continue to implement this law. And we'll work together to improve on it where we can. "But what we won't do – what the country can't afford to do – is refight the political battles of two years ago, or go back to the way things were," Obama said.
The president did include in his remarks the theme of his reelection campaign – "Moving Forward" – twice.
"With today's announcement, it's time for us to move forward – to implement and, where necessary, improve on this law," Obama said. "And now is the time to keep our focus on the most urgent challenge of our time: putting people back to work, paying down our debt, and building an economy where people can have confidence that if they work hard, they can get ahead.
"But today, I'm as confident as ever that when we look back five years from now, or 10 years from now, or 20 years from now, we'll be better off because we had the courage to pass this law and keep moving forward," Obama said.

North West - A man accused of stabbing his pregnant girlfriend and her one-year-old daughter to death had his case postponed in the Lichtenburg Magistrate's Court, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) said on Thursday.
Samuel Ndlovu, 32, was in court on Wednesday, said NPA spokesman Frank Lesenyego.
"His formal bail application has been abandoned and the accused remanded in custody," said Lesenyego.
The matter was postponed to February 25 for further investigations.
"He faces two charges of murder and another charge could be added after police have concluded their investigations," said Lesenyego.
Ndlovu was arrested on January 12 for allegedly stabbing his 22-year-old girlfriend, her unborn child, and her daughter. He apparently accused the woman of having an affair. - Sapa

J. Cole Puts His Spin on ESPN's 'Baseball Tonight' Theme Song
While fans continue to wait for that first official single from J. Cole's Roc Nation debut, the 26-year-old has kept busy with a few side projects, the most recent of which includes some new beat work for ESPN.
The rapper, producer and sports enthusiast — reference his mixtapes 'The Come Up' and 'The Warm Up' for further details — was recently tapped to revamp the theme song for ESPN's 'Baseball Tonight' show. The North Carolina native put an updated spin on the opening song, comparing it to a Lil Jon piece. "I had the honor and the privilege of remaking the legendary theme song. It's a classic," J. Cole explained in an ESPN clip. "The old one was more like Mozart. This is more like Lil Jon."
While his work for ESPN's 'Baseball Tonight' gave Cole a chance to showcase his production skills, a recent Powerade ad highlighted his rhyming with the original track 'I'm On It,' which first hit the web back in October 2010. The song was set as the soundtrack to a clip featuring Chicago Bulls MVP Derrick Rose.
At the end of May, Cole addressed the delay on his album's first single, which he did not name, explaining that the Kanye West-sampled beat had to be cleared before release.

Style: 30389332 Colour:
Wool brimmed outlaw hat with metal plate embellished band.
Free People
Soooo glad I took the risk
I got the olive color and could not be happier. Love the feather detailing, the color, the fit, the brim- everything about it. Hats are tough for me and I'm thrilled to have found this one - it works with lots of styles and colors. Awesome! Btw, I rated it as running a little big because I have a somewhat large head and very thick hair and miraculously it fits!
Pleasant surprise!
Great hat! the material is soft and not stiff so it gives it a bit of a floppy look which I love! I got the black and I love the leather/silver band, it really takes it up a notch. The fit is great as well :) Way to go fp; this is going to look so cool w/my fp harness belt!
I bought the "Olive" recently and it is absolutely gorgeous. Fabulous in every way--color, texture, and feather detailing. It's dark green in color; close to black but not quite, so that I think I'll wear it with just about every outfit! It's a perfect fit and great brim circumference as well. I have long blonde hair and the color contrast is wonderful :) If you're a hat person like me and don't mind spending a bit more money for certain items, this is definitely worth it!
Top hat.
Purchased both the olive and brown. Well made, love the embellishments especially the feathers on the olive. Prefer this style of hat to the matador hat. The brown in this style is superior to the rust colour in the Matador. Great buy.
Modern bandit
Bypassed it online but in store it's a knockout. Needed a winter hat. Beanies don't look good on me. Thank God I came across this beauty. Warm, stylish, & makes me feel all bad n' sexy. Love it

Last Saturday's UFC Fight Night 25 in New Orleans did fairly well ratings wise. The event drew an average of 1.8 million viewers (a 1.2 household rating) and peaked with nearly 1.95 million viewers on Spike TV, officials announced today. Unsurprisingly the event was the number one rated program on cable in its timeslot among men 18-34. The broadcast also ranked second to ESPN's NCAA college-football broadcast among men 18-49. With such names as Jake Shields and Court McGee gracing the card these ratings are just a testament to how much the sport is still growing and gaining popularity.
The night of fights took place at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans. The night's main card aired on Spike TV, and the preliminary card streamed for free on Facebook.
The night's main card saw Jake Ellenberger upset fellow welterweight and former number one contender Jake Shields in the very first round with a surprising KO in their main event bout. The co-headliner saw Court McGee score a decision victory over Dongi Yang.
The two-hour Spike TV broadcast began with 1.4 million viewers for Alan Belcher's impressive win over Jason MacDonald and saw the viewership gradually climb all the way to the main event of the night. The ratings were down just a little bit compared to the year's other UFC Fight Night events. UFC Fight Night 23 drew 1.85 million viewers in January, and UFC Fight Night 24 drew 2.2 million in March. Regardless, the numbers prove a successful night for the UFC and a pleasing night for fight fans across the country.

Voluntary (member) contributions can be made as after-tax (also known as non-concessional) contributions, or before-tax (also known as concessional) contributions.
The Government has established limits on the amount of both concessional and non-concessional super contributions that can be made during each financial year. It's important to be aware of these limits so that contributions aren't taxed at a higher rate.
- The amount of non-concessional contributions for persons under age 65 is capped at $180,000 (indexed) for the 2016/17 financial year.
- A person may bring forward future entitlements to two years' worth of non-concessional contributions making the maximum three times the non-concessional contribution cap in any one financial year ($540,000 for 2016/17).
- A contribution in excess of the non-concessional cap ($180,000 for 2016/17) will automatically trigger the "bring forward" and will not be subject to further indexation in the next two years.
- Contributions in next two financial years will be limited to the difference between the actual contribution made and three times the non-concessional cap ($540,000 for 2016/17).
- If you triggered the bring forward rule in 2013/14 or prior year when the maximum bring forward limit was $450,000 then your limit for the three years is based on that cap and you cannot take advantage of the increased contribution limit of $540,000 introduced in the 2014/15 financial year.
- Persons aged 65 to 74 will not be able to bring forward future entitlements and will have a non-concessional limit of $180,000 for 2016/17 (indexed for future years) provided the work test is met in each financial year a non-concessional contribution is made.
- Lower caps apply for concessional (before-tax) contributions. For more information, please refer to the Salary sacrifice page on our website.
You may also wish to consider your investment choice to ensure that your superannuation investment reflects your particular needs. For further information on our investment options, please click here.
You can make after-tax contributions as a payroll deduction or as a lump sum.
Up to 100% of your after-tax salary can be contributed. This may be arranged as a regular deduction through your employer payroll area. By topping up from your after-tax income you may also be entitled to receive benefit from the Government's superannuation co-contribution. Further information on this benefit can be found in our Let the government top up your super fact sheet.
You can also make a personal lump sum contribution at any time up to age 65 years. If you are aged between 65 and 74 years then you will need to meet an annual work test (i.e. a minimum 40 hours worked during a 30-day consecutive period in the financial year in which the contribution is made). Simply send a cheque, made payable to NGS Super and complete a Lump Sum Contribution Form to deposit funds into your member account.
You can organise to make regular after-tax contributions to your super by contacting your employer payroll area. To do this, click on the button below to complete a payroll deductions eForm and give this to your employer.
If you would like to make a once off Lump sum contribution to your super, please complete a lump sum contribution eForm below and return it to NGS Super.
You may also make lump sum contributions using BPay which can be accessed by logging onto Member Online.
Be aware of the contribution caps that are in place to ensure you do not exceed the yearly maximum contribution amount. Check out our Opportunities and Limits for Super Contributions fact sheet for more information.

Mercury Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hi, please explain the noise and vibration as much as possible, also, does it mostly only happen while making a slight turn, or does it happen while driving straight as well?
Also, will it happen all of the time?
It happens all the time
Great, now does it happen while driving perfectly straight, or do you have to be turning slightly to cause the vibration?
the vibration isa little violent also it happened about 75 mi after the case was changed,it happens all the time
Great, so front differential was changed, was it a complete unit, used unit, or where gears and bearings changed? I think I have a good feeling on whats going on....
used unit
Was it made 100% certain that the gear ratio of the front differential matches the gear ratio of the rear differential?, If 2 different gear ratios front to rear, when awd automatically kicks when commanded, the complete drive train will bind, basically feeling like the truck wants to fall apart from shaking. Many different gear ratios availible for this truck.
yes its a 355
Great. Also does not hurt to double check by marking the tire and driveshaft to physically calculate the ratio.
Next.. Have you tried removing the front drive shaft to see if the vibration goes away?
yes ,there is still a vibration,we put it on jackstands andit still vibrates
the vibration is not asviolent w/ the front disconnected
Truck will always vibrate on jack stands, just the nature of the front and rear drive components trying to keep up with eachother. I suggest removing front drive shaft and driving to see if vibration is gone. Has this been done?
yes the vib is not as bad,but i pick up a little decelerating and the clicking noise went away also
Also, what was the main problem prior to replacing the transfercase and front differential, basically what exactly was happening? Was it the same exact concern?
no i took the car to a transmission shop,i had a humming in the rear and a cackle noise from the case and the wheels in front were binding on tight turns,the idiot told me ir was nothing to worry about and i should bring it back when the noise got worse 2 days later the front blew
Great information, now how was it prooven the front blew? Was it taken apart to see broken bearings, or gears?
Sorry for all the information needed, will help to narrow down whats going on with your truck.
the front blew big time,i exploded it on the new jersey turnpike at about 78 mph,even the case cracked
Great information, Sorry that happened, so yes it needed to be replaced. Now, where you able to actually see the transfercase that the old one was replaced with? Did it have a a motor, and 2 sensors, one on the top, and one a little lower? and also was this unit used?
(by unit used, mean the transfercase)
yes i did my case had no motors or sensors on it,the unit was used all was the same excet it lookedthe newunit had threads for mounting a motor and mine did not
Great information. Sure seems like you have the incorrect transfercase for your vehice. Any chance the new transfercase also had a seal with a "shaft" coming out of the center of where the bolts where to mount a motor?
5 or so different transfercases will bolt right up to your explorer.
its a mountaineer
sorry, mountaineer, basically the same set up being a 4.0 sohc, awd with a 5r55 trans.
no it did not
okay good. Now you may wonder why I would like you to do this test, feel free to ask....
have you used a string to measure around all 4 tires, or even a measuring tape for a taylor to ensure the diamator is all within 1/4 of an inch of variance?
with wheels off the ground?
I would definetly do this to eliminate the most common cause of the symptoms you are having...
If one tire is is 1/4 of an inch or more in size difference, the awd system that you have with no sensors to monitor drive shaft speeds will mechanically bind at certain speeds. Basically the same feeling as having a different gear ratio in the front and rear, and will vibrate just as violently.
ok,do you think thiswill help the case or didi trash this one too
Its probably fine, the t-cases are usually pretty strong. I have seen many cases replaced due to uneven tire sizes.
even w/the car off the ground it was still clicking and vibrating when we still had the front shaft connected
(not becaused it was damaged, but due to the symptoms of the t-case being bad like you explain)
Hi, yes it is 100% normal even on a brand new mountaineer in 2004 to make these noises while off of the ground. Truck was designed to drive on the ground not in the air, so front and rear wheels are always trying to catch up with eachother causing noise, and crackling in the transfercase.
I replaced a transfercase for this reason in the past a long time ago, learned the hard way, tires where the problem.
this was a loud click
multiple clicks? or just one?
did the transmission seem to come out of gear as well?
i got my monies worth out of you !!!!!just one click it seemed a consistent click that it made while on the ground,no the trans did not come out of gear
Great, so seems like the clicking is normal. What I recommend doing is a few things starting with the easiest of course. Feel free to contact me again after doing each recommendation, will still be here to help after an accept, just reply to this same post. FIRST: take the number off of the transfercase thats in your truck right now, and call a local dealer parts department and sweet talk them into seeing if that part number is XXXXX for your VIN. If dealer is close, may be worth it to actually go down there and talk to a parts person. There usually bored in the front counter, and happy to help. If part is bad, need to get the correct transfercase, no way around it. Next, measure all tires as described above, if all tires are within 1/4 of an inch, write me back so I can further help. Will switch to Question format so you can easily contact me back after doing the above tests.
I meant part number, not part
one more question andi willlet you go back to your life can it be driven w/the front disconnected
I think yes, but should only be done a short distance. Ford does not recommend it from what I have heard. Ive done it to diagnose, but would never leave it off all the time.
or permanently.
thanks for your help-steve
Hi steve, let me know what you find out, just reply to this if help is still needed.
I certainly would double check with the dealers parts department if transfercase is correct, if correct, being a viscous clutch with no mechanical components, I would suspect the transfercase installed is no good. No electronics used at all in your awd to control the transfercase. Many used transfercases can be on there way out due to incorrect tire sizes/ or uneven wear. At this point to make 100% sure possible faulty transfercase once the dealer has confirmed correct number for your vin (needs to be correct for vin, please have dealer check based on number given to me), is to take it out and take it apart to inspect for damage, or even drain fluid into a container and shine a light to look for metal, or clutch particles.
Basically two possibilities, most likely wrong transfercase for your vin, although is an option for your year, or..... faulty used transfercase.
