Transfer case rebuild.

[used97]

So I called drivetrain.com today the guy I talked with verrrryyyy nice actually through in a couple small parts that I needed but didn't want the other kit.

Anyways I ordered the part and as I told him I have 300000 mi on my transfer case. He told me there's a trick when putting the case together after you have split it. Chevy has a grey silicone that is not suppose to break down after you put it together. Toothpaste size tube is 25.00 bucks.

I haven't really seen s rebuild on here so hopefully I will be able to document it as I do it.

If it is a full rebuild the link below won't show everything, but it will help you to figure out the tricks to getting the transfer case apart and back together. It is a write up on my website on how to install the Merchant Automotive pump rub upgrade kit that defends against the dreaded pump rub leak that often causes major damage to the transfer case. This is a major issue on pre-07 models especially.

Make sure and check your junk mail folder. I emailed you back and haven't heard from you so I figure that is the case.

Yerp, he's right. But the tricks for getting apart and back together during rebuild should work shouldn't they? Or are they THAT different inside so as to make it completely a different animal? I ask because I have only personally dealt with those on the Dmaxes...

EDIT: I originally posted the link thinking the tips for getting the case halves apart and back together may help.

again not applicable for a 1997 vehicle. it was only equipped with a 241 or 243 tcase not a 246. for which this procedure applies.
