    Found metal in my transfer case

    Sounds like a rebuild is in my future. I pulled the seat and floor panels, but would like to find a TM with detailed maintenance instructions before I drop it and open it up. Also need a parts list for Bearings and seals if anyone could point me to a listing. Found a website that allows me to...

    Found metal in my transfer case

    Wow, is that how the military TM does it? Sounds like I need to stop and do some reading. From the position of the mounts it looks like it was lowered into place initially to install, but I assumed that was done before the cab and bed was placed on the truck. Never thought there would be a...

    Found metal in my transfer case

    I have no problem taking pictures and documenting what worked and didn't when I change the bearings.

    Found metal in my transfer case

    Uploaded a picture of the metal found in post 1. This is all the major pieces that came out. About the same mass (at most) in smaller pieces and dust in the form of slim around the magnet. Looks like at least three bearing cages.

    Found metal in my transfer case

    Well, I was changing all the fluids on my new GL purchased Deuce and had to wait/order the 9/16 pipe fitting for the transfer case drain plug. It came in last week and I proceeded to drain the case. First concern is that the case sounded pressurized when I removed the plug. I have had some...
