4x4 Troubles
Hi, I am new be gentle. Just purchased a 97 Z-71 5.7, auto, Np1, Push Button 4 WD. This truck has 4" body lift. 315x75rx15. When put into 4hi or 4 lo ,you here it lock in as normal, problem being after rolling only a few feet rear wheels begin to bind. Acts as though you have different size tires on, but all tires match and are almost new. Checked under carrige and there was red fluid around axle and rear of transfer case. Not a lot. After futher investgation found transfer case to be low, only about an inch deep in case. Going by dealer in morning to get fluid as I understand it takes a special fluid for this case.
Question, Could this low fluid cause this ? Have I got trans case problems ? If so is a rebuild cheaper than say junk yard replacement ? And finally, How much time to remove transfer case .
Maybe I have anouther problem altogether, not sure. Any help !!! Thanks
