This dramatically reduced drivetrain noise, gas consumption, acceleration and smoothness in a turn. It also caused the heater controls not to work properly. I replaced both with Amsoil Severe Gear 75W90, and no issues yet. This gives you the convenience of 4-wheel drive at all times and the ability to lock the center differential for adverse conditions. They had mixed up the model numbers between the 2000 and 2001 versions. No gaskets on either cover. All shafts, slider, hubs and planets are inspect to ensure proper factory spec'd tolerances are maintained.
Part numbers were not matching up. How often should transfer case fluid be changed? We can help free knowledgeable technical support! With this transfer case, four-wheel drive can be utilized fro all driving conditions. To speak to a Drivetrain Expert or to place an order call us toll free. The cost sounds a little high, 260. Sorry to sound so picky, but the part numbers are not matching up here just yet.
Was having the same problem and it seams there are different firing orders for the same engine now as far as cap goes it starts number 1 is facing the front of engine and goes counter clock wise and mine is 1654 … 32 but I also have found different years have other order. To avoid this issue, it is recommended that the transfer case fluid be changed periodically, normally every 30,000 miles, especially in vehicles that tow or use four-wheel drive often. I would like to know the pros, cons and how I should use the 4x4 function appropriately. The correct quality parts the first time! Our rebuilt transfer Cases include all new bearings, gaskets, seals, chains clutch and viscous couplers where used. The dealer has had to replace the encoder actuator motor and the modular 2-3 times already and once again the vehicle is back in the shop, needing another modular. I run it on these nasty Ga clay roads all the time and can feel when it kicks in. Imagine you are driving slowly up a hill of wet grass with dry pavement at the top.
A true full-time case e. Essentially, the part-time system offers better gas mileage but requires shifting into 4-wheel drive when needed. Positioned underneath the vehicle, a transfer case is made of an aluminum or steel housing and contains a complex system of chains, belts, or gears. I may try replacing fluid myself. Ditto here on the diffs. The techs at my stealership argued about this one. Position the drain pan accordingly and move it more directly beneath the drain plug as the flow slows to a trickle.
I had a Firestone shop do the front and rear diff. I think it actually got rid of a bit of the driveline noise. Guaranteed quality and correct parts supplied. What is the power transfer distribution front and rear of both systems. The truck needs to have the actuators 5 , the vacuum tank, the vacuum lines and the heater control. The units are provided with 27 spline front output and utilizes a rear slip yokes. They both have a low range.
We have either a manually shifted or electrically not electronically shifted manual case. Thanks, No I didn t change mine but looked in the book. Are these the same units or have we gotten things mixed up or not? To the original poster, I wouldn't worry about having bought the full time case as my old truck has been on the road 10 times longer with the full time than it has been with the part time. Our factory transfer cases are tested before leaving our factory to ensure quality, saving you both time and money! Normal front-to-rear differences in the turning radii of the tires are only compensated for through wheel slippage over adverse driving surfaces. In most trucks, it's not very difficult, but you might need an oil pump to pump the gear oil into the transfer case. In addition, in many cars, a transfer case is located close to hot exhaust components, which causes the fluid to deteriorate sooner. Leaks should be repaired as soon as possible.
Now you can get up the hill. Part identification is occasionally a problem and knowing just what parts need to be replaced can be an issue, we can help by identification of associated parts that should be replaced when one part fails.

Depending on type and size of internal cooler, length and inside diameter of cooler lines, or use of an auxiliary cooler, these figures may vary. But the worst problem is that the fluid caused the heater controls, also vacuum activated, not to work properly so that the vehicle windshield could not be defogged or defrosted, which is a safety problem because of the lack of visibility. This unit was utilized beginning in 1992. All rebuilt transfer case get new seals, bearings, chains, fork pad, encoder motors and viscous couplers.
