Changing the T-case ATF
So how do you change T-case ATF? i read an article on here that said "drain and refill" well... glory be, but where is the drain plug? do i have to take the fill plug out, pick up the truck and shake it out?
Damn I'm good.....
Here....on my '01.....You need to pull that rubber counterweight thingy off using a 13mm socket. Once that's off...BAM! there's the drain plug. Up top, mid body toward the right, is the fill hole. It uses a 3/8" rachet to take the plugs out. I used a 3/8 rachet with a 3" extension. Mines painted pink. Be prepared to see some ugly **** brown stuff to drain out of it. I believe the book calls for ATF on our tcases. I run Royal Purple Synthetic in my crankcase, trans, tcase, rear end, powersteering, etc. Hope it helps.

What you need to take off:
BAM! The shiny one at the bottom is a drain....the pink painted one is the fill.

I assume the fill plug is in the same spot on the manual (2002 FX4).
I have a slow leak in the front output seal. It is a 6.5hr job to fix so I'm waiting for a buddy to do it for me.
Is there an easy way to check the level of fluid or should I just pour more in until it comes back out?
Thanks.
