Transfer case overflowing
So While looking at something else under the truck I noticed my transfer case had had fluid leaking around it, upon checking the tightness of the plugs I found the fill plug completely loose, I pulled it out just for the hell of it and it was just gushing fluid out...
I did have someone replace the fluid, but I still don't see how it could get filled that high by itself. Upon searching the forums I found a similar topic only it ended up with the cause of the problem being rooted to a lot of deep water fording, I have done no such thing in a quite a while, certainly not since I had the fluid changed. The fluid is dark red in color. Is it possible that the transmission could be leaking into the transfer case, I don't see many possibilites... The truck seems to drive just fine.. |

Ok, this is a bit wierd, I just drove it around the max temp I could get the tranny in 1 hour in 55 degfree weather was 145, I checked to see if the tranny fluid was low and it was 4 times the hot bar, and the engine was running

Re: Transfer case overflowing
Well, after dumping out 2 quarts, it definately shifts better, still both of the two tranny cooler lines where they go from
Rad>metal line>/\rubber /\ being a bit wet around that area, see a drop on the frame rail/support below.. Only a drop from being overfilled for 6 months or so... dunno to be scared or not.. |
Re: Transfer case overflowing
check transmission oil. Overflowing may be from there.

Re: Transfer case overflowing
You're sure there is no antifreeze in your transmission oil or vica versa? There have been several failures of the radiator transmission cooler lines.

Re: Transfer case overflowing
just sounds like when you had the T case fluid changed, they over filled it.
they prolly used a pump and were able to get alot of fluid in there, and/or a stupid tech working on it and just simply over filled it. maybe i am wrong, but the tranny temp sensor does nothign for the T case. its only for the tranny. you let it drain, so you should be good to go now |
Re: Transfer case overflowing
Jim, yes that was a concern but it doesn't seem so all those seem fine, after pulling 2 quarts extra out of the Transmission everything feels smoother... almost seemed like sabatoge tbh

Re: Transfer case overflowing
Transmission---->Seal (broken)----->transfercase.

Re: Transfer case overflowing
When you did the transfer case was it hot? Transmision fluid really expands when hot. You are supposed to fill just below the fill plug when cold.
