some TLC on a NP243C

The 96 Tahoe started to leak way too much now. Didnt want to drive it like that after breathing life back into the Tranny by changing the A/B shift solenoid most shops wanted to charge me almost $900< ha!!

So the Transfer Case is out, turns out its not the Tranny Seal afterall. A freaking gasket wow!! $8 part for all that labor ugh!! 6 bolts to remove the Oil Pump Housing. Kinda like a differential gasket

Besides the Gasket, what else could i change out to take advantage before i put back.

Clean it up and check for cracks?

Was thinking like Transmission Seals, U-Joints etc

How is the input shaft seal? Those tend to get hard and don't do what they are supposed to. It's an easy check, there are four bolts on the front of that you remove the bearing plate and then you can check it. The replacement part is less than $20.

What RTV sealant would I use when putting the 2 halves together? It would suck to have a leak there

No cracks looks good, gonna redo the middle silicone gasket
