Transfer Case

[Zing]

Well after 2 years of moderate abuse and excellent performance I finally had to visit the dealer. Felt like the rig was struggling when I was making sharp turns, parking, etc. and I thought my alignment was off. Kinda felt also like being in lock when I wasn't. Dealer tells me the t-case needs replacement/repair, and that they rarely see this problem (though I remember reading of the issue here before). I had just taken it offroad, but easy stuff and mostly sand (yes remembered to take it out of 4 low lock when back on pavement). Had also bounced it pretty hard at Paragon, but that was months ago and I doubt that had anything to do with it.

Fortunately I was able to drive it to the dealer. Fully covered under warranty so I'm told.

Well, you did bounce kinda hard.

How long will it take? Did they give you a loaner?

Hey co-pilot. I brought it in this morning and they said it'd take at least a couple days. I don't drive during the week so I didn't bother getting a loaner.

Sorry I'll miss you guys at Paragon. Going to Yosemite for a couple weeks (without H2).

We'll miss the "Famous Flying Zing!" Glad it's covered.
