    First shakedown and I have a question about the fan clutch

    Coolant in Transfer Case

    How did he determine this? During fluid change? If you have the liquid cooled rear diff I believe that the transfer case is also cooled with engine coolant as well. Older models were cooled with transmission fluid. There is a "cooling loop" in the transfer case that has been known to crack...
