Changed the rear diff fluid, need help with transfer case?

Post by TDinMT »

I found a pic here on gv of the rear differential and the drain and fill plug holes. It was very helpful and made changing the rear fluid very easy. Then I went to do the same on the transfer case, was going to change that. Oops not so fast. There is a lot more stuff in the way in the front. pretty sure I found the drain plug for the transfer case, but it was getting late and ran out of daylight before I could determine if that was for sure the drain plug and never did find the fill plug. Any one here changed their transfer case fluid and can you help me. Don't want to mess anything up. any pics would be great also.

I haven't changed mine at all yet. I just reached 20,000 miles and I am planning on having my dealer change it when I go in for my next oil change. Someone here will be able to post a pick of the drain plug location for you.BTW, Welcome to GenVibe!

I have 68,000 on my 03. Bought it used and do not know if previous owner did anything. If I do it, I know it got done and hopefully the right way. If no one can find a pic or diagram I'll try to see if I can get one from local dealer.Thanks for any info

Baltovibe you rock. I would have pulled the wrong plug. I was looking for the same drain/fill plugs that were in the rear diff. That diagram was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again and happy vibing
