When i have my truck in 4 lo the transfer case makes this noise like metal sliding or grinding on each other. Anyone ever heard of it? I was wandering how you change the oil in the transfer case b/c im thinking this may be the problem.

 

anything?

 

Take off the black round thing on the back of the t case. Then unscrew the drain plug and let the oil run out. Then put the drain plug back in and unscrew the fill plug. The just fill it with the recommended fluid type and quantity. Then reinstall the fill plug and black thing. Done!

 

might help it but it dosent sound good might be a chain are something them t cases arnt very tough im on my third one and my friend has a 93 ranger and he is on #10 try changing the oil see if you get any metal shaveing in the oil when you change it

 

ight. what oil? i dont own a manual for my truck.

 

I know on my 03 it calls for Mercon ATF but I'm not sure how much.

 

prolly only a quart or two huh? the case isnt that big.

 

put 2 something?? your owners book will tell you if you have one

 

Yeah i dont have a owners book but maybe when im at advanced ill buy one. Well thnx for the help. Thats all i need to know. perciate it.

 

its ATF fliud about 1.7 qt's ish...

the noise is prob a bad bearing the 1354 is known for the oil pump inside to fail especially on live axle trucks and it wont lube the upper bearings...

 

Sweet. More to add to the list of why I hate my truck. Thanks.

 

mine's hosed bad the t-case sounds like grinding metal inside when its engaged..

gonna be getting one here soon to replace it

 

So, since your the mastermind behind the 1354 case, can you tell me how to fix the noise, or is there already a write up on it?

 

That is my exact noise. So apparetnly there is no fix. How much they run at a junkyard?

 

I am not a mastermind on it lol.. just know about it.. no write up i know of


ya you can rebuild it... but its about $100-$300 depending on the yard...

i was gonna get a decent one and rebuild mine and have it waiting

 

not a bad idea. This just blows. well its gunna keep on freekin grindin till after x-mas. Then, once i have some money, ill go find one and i'll set mine in the shed for a spare.
