Transfer case is most likely trashed....Have you checked the fluid in the trans?

Buddies truck was like this a month or so ago, xfer case trashed, rear housing of tranny toast and was puking trans fluid everywhere.

i def wouldn't drive it anywhere.

it runs fine shifts good but when it was overheating the fluid level was way too high and came out the overflow an got everywhere.

 

[20chevy04]

would the transfer case cause thranny to overheat?

Try bringing the fluid level back down to the bottom of the hot grid and see if that makes a difference. Then get back to us.

have checked it when it was roughly 120 and was just at the hot grid will drive tonight to check if it still does it also i bought the truck with a power play mp-8 on it(chip or programmer) it seems to be a fuel adjuster but have no idea if its goo do for this truck because when i turn it up when im driving it basically puffs black smoke an takes off on its own an doesnt feel right just woundering if anyone knows about this?

 

[20chevy04]

[20chevy04]

so for got to mention when i first bought the truck i noticed it was leaking tranny fluid so the fixed it a put a new seal on the back of the tcase where the drive shaft goes into. so on my way home from the shop i was a block from my street put it in N an felt a clank then back in D an it went into limp mode so they came an towed it and said it was the valve body.They fixed it an i picked it up an now 8 days later its over heating and leaking.also the tcase has slipped the sleeve out along with the seal?have no idea me an my dad cant figure it out and i put all the money i had to a down payment. Sorry for the long read but i need help.Mike L if u read please call me number is above.Thanks everyone.

Check the Tcase fluid. Pick up on the rear driveshaft. I had this happen, I was on a trip about 900 miles from home the Tcase leaked its fluid out and self destructed. When I pulled the drain plug I got nothing but shavings.. And I could lift the driveshaft up about 1/2 inch.

Mike L if u read please call me number is above.Thanks everyone.

Mike is a busy guy. Give him another call. The best thing to do is to keep trying.

I have found him very helpful, but the call has always been on my dime.

Also, take a close look at the t-case again. It may have been leaking from the rear seal, but it may also have a small hole in the rear case half from pump rub.

This will give you an idea of where to look for the potential hole: http://www.merchant-automotive.com/tech/tcp.pdf

There is a cheaper fix than the MA one, and Mike and others have the steel plate that goes between the pump and the rear case half.

Thanks bud how much do they normally run?

 

[20chevy04]

Also would the tcase. Make tranny overheat after a long drive?

Talk to Mike L.... I don't sell them, I don't quote prices.

 

[20chevy04]
