Is the rear seal going out? pic

[Philtopgun]

Truck was on lift to change the oil last week, guy said the rear seal going out. Is this common at 77k? Can this wait til I get the tranny upgraded in March? Here are some pics. Also the botton of the bell housing has tranny fluid again. Dealer replacedthe front bell housing because they said the housing had a flaw in cast design... Is there something else wrong? It shifts fine. I dont have any drops on the garage floor. Been like this forever... Just checking to see if I need to park it til March or what.

I would have liked a picture from the passenger side of the transfercase to be sure. I would pull the drive shaft out and inspect the surface of the yoke ( driveshaft part that rides in the transfercase ) for scoring. I would replace u joints asap. Call me if you need more info.

You have a hole in the case from pump rub.

This can be fixed with my plate and some silicone.

:happy2: rub kit ordered, thanks Mike for the help on how to install it. Mike said the rear shaft looking dirty could be a false read from the pub rub leaking. Ill have the transfer case all cleaned up and see if the rear seal stays clean also.
My son loves to help me on the truck, this will be a fun project:thumb:

mike,could put an arrow on a pic,to show us were the spot on the case is so we all can look at ours

I think there might b more than 1 spot! I'll make a pic with arrow when I get home. There is one pic that the tc is clean but has a black spot. That spot is obvious of a gear rub thru TC. Will b a week or two before I will get a chance to pull the TC out n do a write up. Proof this happens to any rides out there. My truck is factory with mild tune, I always thought you had to have a lot more power to create this.

Hey if I read right that the YC case is made of magnesium, how do I tig weld the rub marks? Do I need to find a reel of wire just for this app?

Not to hijack, but when did you start selling a rub fix kit? If it's been a while (like since before last February or so), I wish I had known, I would have ordered it from you.

Hey Mike, probably I wasnt paying attention, but I dont remember this part. Do I need to drill holes in your piece and screw it on top of the factory piece or just drop it ontop of the factory piece?

Justdrop it on the pump and makes sure you remove the old bumper.

 

[Philtopgun]

thanks. The bumper as in the small metal clip on the case?

 

[Mike L.]

Yes.
