Which transfercase fuild?

[4speedfunk]

Yeah I know. My brother-in-law has a 2010 Duramax/quad-cab/dually....and his t-case broke one morning just trying to get out of his driveway. Got stuck in low or something. Anyway...he drove it to the dealer. Guess what it was? PLASTIC shift fork...just like the H3. BTW...you can buy a Dorman replacement plastic shift fork for your H3 on ebay for $15.00...

Don't everybody rush the guy at once. :roll:

I plan on replacing it in the spring... I wanna get a 4:1 t-case but that may be a little while so I gotta take care of the one I got for now.

The original one in my 2 was plastic, but surprisingly that wasn't my problem. Chain was stretched. New tcase has the metal one and my rebuilt original one now has the metal. Never knew the 2's had the plastic also. Go figure.

How hard is the swap is it a DIY type project or more complicated than that ?

 

[digglesworth]

There's been a few write ups on it... I'd probably say its a 6 or 7 on the difficulty scale simply because the t-case has to be pulled out and split open... Others may say its easy. Some might say hard. It will probably be the most extensive project I do to my 3...

it has a drain and fill plug. I'd rate it a 1. Probably easier then changing oil.

I know this is old but the day has come and by this weekend my whole drive train will be Royal Purple. 12 ATF qrts trany, 2 ATF t-case, 4 bottles of gear oil and 6 qrts for the engine. Plus engine and trans filter with a B&M drain plug kit. Picked everything for less then $170 only thing is my input seal on the left front is bad so that is going to have to be done before the drain. One thing I have notices after the lift kit is the CV's are pulled 1/4 inch out from the diff so I need to check on that also.

Not 100% sure, but I don't think the RP ATF is compatible with our trans requiring Dex VI

 

[digglesworth]

It's not. I've got 2 bottles of the max atf here for my new transfer case coming... Specifically says not for dex VI...

I took the easy way out... Just bought a new transfer case. I upgraded to the adv pkge w/ the 4:1 low gear.

I know but the 355 guys been running with it for years so there's nothing to worry about.
