- This is the replacement of a transfer case in a 2008 Dodge Ram. This truck has 279,000 miles on it and its been a plow truck its entire life. I also pull heavy trailers with it so it's amazing the original engine, trans, and transfer case lasted this long! The reason for replacing the transfer case was the chain that drives the front driveshaft was stretched and would skip under heavy load while in four wheel drive.

Nice video. Obviously you make it look easier than it is because of skill and experience but it's awsome you put this out there for people like me to enjoy. Great information! Much appreciated
Great video. You made it look easier then I thought it would be. Thanks!
That’s awsome that it is the same t-case as a Cummins!
Man I'm jelly. Wish I had your shop and lift.
Thanks man!
Just a question if u have time. I have a 2000 dodge ram 1500 with 5.9 4x4. Did you ever hear like a really quite grinding in 2 hi when going forward? Even when not started if I put it in neutral and roll it forward with my feet I can hear it making a light grinding noise? If I move my 4x4 gear handle a little forward or backward it will go away pulling forward. Could it be a adjustment on transfer case lever or transfer case going bad. Going to check fluids see if thats it. Sorry for writing a book. Thanks if u reply. Any info helps.
On the transfer case itself it says not to use a impact wrench. This is one of these times to pay attention. This process is pretty close for 2003- 2009. Only changes is manual controls versus electric. The older manual control transfer case will have the smaller diameter output shaft, but on both it 8s wise to change them to billet as the output shaft has no give and under extreme conditions will break in half. Not a problem for 2wd truck with much longer shaft.
For what you paid for transfer case you could’ve bought new chain and sprockets plus seals for transfer case. Then you know everything is new. Your used case could have stretched chain too.
I also got a tranfer case and will get a chain later for the other one
Dam 68k owners needs this repair
It does pay good, you saved !
man the front drive line bolt are taking up the whole video !! hahaha
My 2005 doesn't look the same the y for the exhaust goes behind the transfer case it doesn't look like there's enough room for it to slide of the trans shaft
5:26 use a 3/8 impact with 15mm matco swivel socket is small enough to make it get the bolts out at the 11 o"clock position save yourself a lot of time if so equipped .
You use this as a plow truck but the underside has very little rust ... how?
I have a heated shop and I wash my vehicles including the underside once a week in the winter. Keeping the salt off helps immensely!
I can't believe you didn't replace the seals between trans and transfer case. Rear seal no problem! But the other two should have been replaced.
Just bought a 1500 with 5.7 because it needs a transfer case.
250,000 on original parts.
It only moves in 4 wheel drive.
What kind of time would you say you spent on the replacement?
it takes about 45mins ! lol
Always pull fill plug first just in case it doesn't come out then you drained your case and have no way to fill it
Do you remember how much torque you put on the stud nuts that hold the t-case to the trans? Also, did you use any loctite?
Hand tight with a wrench and use locktite!
Great shoot on the video, others should take notes from you
mr sobchak how did you get the top nuts off
Did your transfer case just come loose after you took the nuts off? Mine is not wanting to move af all
It took some wiggling but it came loose
Oh yeah looks super easy...lift tools ect..
So I have the same truck 2008 2500 hemi 5.7 gas engine, can I use a 1500 transfer case?
Do you have any repair videos for 2008 Dodge Dakota Crew Cab SLT 4x4 3.7L v6 4 speed (42RLE+VLP)? All I can find to get an idea of what I might be getting into are for Dodge/Ram 1500.
Good vid👍🏽
How did you remove the 4x4 selector arm? From the truck or the case?
i cant seem to get my replacement t.c. to seat back up to the tranny. i fought it for iver an hour and never got it to go all the way on. any ideas?
Is there a gasket that goes in between the transmission and the transfer case?
Good question
show us you tightened that drain plug bro ! i always tighten a drain plug once i screw it in ! it will save your ass !
What year transfer case can fit a 2011 2500 automatic trans. It’s a manual shift transfer case.
Would it be possible to swap to a 4WD Auto transfer case in a 3rd Gen Mega Cab? I’m wanting to get a 2006 as a project truck and that’s one of the many things I’m wanting to do with it.
I have a 2003 dodge 2500 5.7 engine, recently I replaced the transfer case for a same model transfer case, but the 4x4 switch is different from my and the connection too, I tried to replace my connection but it didn't work, so I tried my old switch and it doesn't work either. Any help out there please???
I have an 09 5.7 ram 1500 my connecter is black with a green center clip i cannot figure out how it comes off
Cheeseburgers? As in plural?
You dont have to move the trans mount. A 12 point 14 mm wrench gets into the crevice on the lower driver side nut. You have to spin it 1/24 of a turn then flip it then another 1/24 and go back and forth
Once you get it broke loose you can get in there with a shorter 14 and get more out of every turn.
@@kevinnaylor5737 doubt you will see this given it was so long ago but I can't figure out where the damn thing is at and am about to take the mount off out of frustration.
You are looking for the lower driver side nut?
Is this a 2 man job?
Is it super dark for anyone else? Phone brightness is almost all the way up and quality of picture isn't really there to see anything either
get a snap -on socket !!!!
How did you get the transfer case to get tht low so yiu could get to the top nut
I had to use a stubby wrench
What tool did you use to get that last bolt? I can’t fit a wrench or ratchet in there
I had to cut one of my wrenches in half 😂
I cut up a 3\8 extension and a 1\4 extension and welded them together so I could use my 3\8 14mm on my tiny ratchet. worked great
Anyone know if this is the same for a 2016 1500?
you think you got a tough 140 pounds doing it all by myself no Lyft on my back and you're complaining
