Transfer case bit the dust!

My 98 Tahoe finally lost its transfer case, growling to a hault this afternoon. I think for 218k that is not so bad, but I dread the thought of replacing it now. How difficult is that to drop that case, and any special tools or tips I need to know? I don't have a service manual...

I probably am going to go the used or rebuilt route considering the miles. I can get a new one for $1,200, but don't think it is worth it as I will probably only keep it for another 2 years or so. Probaby looking at $200-300 used or $600-700 rebuilt...

Let me know if you have any experiences with this or suggestions on what to look out for. One guy I was talking with tonight said the most common source of failure is low fluid where it seeps out of the tailshaft. He said to watch out for saturated oil/grime in that area on used ones. Mine was always up on the Auto trac II fluid but had made some clicking noises for over half a year...

Thanks,
Dave





Most new Transfer cases are remans,no such as a new one.Jasper is one choice with a 3 year 100,000 mile warranty.Inspect the driveshaft yoke for deep grooves and that is a sign of the bushing is bad.The yoke is a dealer part only and comes with the u joint installed
