Transfer case issue

[Dustin McClain]

Small leak, and clunking noise coming from the transfer case I believe? Are the transfer cases known to go bad?

[4.3LXJ]

They can. Where does it leak? It does sound though that you might need to take it apart and replace the chain and sprockets

[Carves]

Chain and sprockets are a wear and tear item, just like a motorbike.

Have you greased the rear output/slipjoint/whatever ... they clunk when dry.


Re the leak ... the 242 has a little plasticcy/rubber bung, in the casting facing the front output ... which may or may not be your issue.


... welllll ... it should have a little plasticcy/rubber bung ... ask me how I know .. :rolleyes: .. :D

Item 19 in this piccy ....
