The level was low. And definitely still leaking but I recently checked the transmission and added a pint or less. Will check again.
But seems like it’s the transfer case seals.
Thanks for the info on different oil levels.

Refilled and some leaked out until I put the slip shaft back in. Dripping through weep hole and also front output dust cover.
I believe my transmission is OK but the two t case output seals are bad.
Hopefully it can wait. [emoji3526]

I’ve got the ujoints replaced. Rear one was bad.
Seems like transfer case is leaking.
No fluid dripped from the filler hole.
Loosened the drain and some came out.
When I put my finger in the filler hole I don’t feel any fluid in there. Shouldn’t it be up to the hole?

Noise got worse. During drive/acceleration, too. Got gear oil, gasket, RTV and new jack stands. :)
Will check out the ujoints and see if any Eaton chunks pour out the rear end after work tomorrow.
I've lost confidence in my diagnostic ability...
Now I have a squeaking noise from the back of the M1009, can hear it from inside. I thought it was the loose tire squeaking, but I tightened it down. The squeak seems to respond to speed. I'm wondering if my rear end is bad.
Occasionally...
I shifted late and barely into 3rd. Turns out the vacuum switch on the injection pump was all the way forward, which is later shifting. I put it in the middle (and replaced the fat vacuum pump hose and thinner hose to the switch) and now I shift into 2nd around 25mph and into 3rd around 45mph...
Also, the “brownish orange” fusible link - I’m color blind .., is it the darker of the two thinner wires on the smaller, left side post? Or the lighter of the two?

I don’t understand Roscommon option 3 steps 10-13.
Why keep both alternator wires together, moving them both from the 12v junction block to the new circuit breaker/fuse?
Shouldn’t the starting/stock alternator remaining be wired to 12v jb, and then the isolated 2nd alternator be alone wired...
OK, man. You were right. 30 fuses or more later (problem became consistent Tuesday night) I finally found that sensor at the back of the head.
Saw it when underneath the truck. It sucks having glasses on because I rarely get them in focus working on things...
anyway after cleaning lots of...
Blew three this morning. Seems like it's burning out during cranking? Or right when the wait light goes off?
Burnt another at the end of the day, when I was going to go home. I have a pile of burnt 20a fuses on the floor...
I got a hummer jack and a pricey aluminum Agile Offroad pin adapter - radius on one side and flat on the other. Then some fancy folding spider wrench. I'll have to test it out but need a chock.
I don't know if it's related, but sometimes my Gen 2 light flickers, moreso at idle.
And the water in fuel light flickers some.
I drained water/fuel out of the filter. Seemed to be OK after that. But then the fuel gauge started dropping rapidly. Went to empty but I had plenty of fuel.
No glow...
