Thank you for making and posting this video. I needed to replace my transfer case and the dealer wanted over $6000 to do the work (with parts). It came down to; either sell the truck or fix it myself. After watching your video I was confident I could take it on and swap it out. I found a reman transfer case for $1000 and replaced it with any issues. Seeing you do it gave me the confidence to get after it. You saved me over 5K. Thanks a ton!
Great to hear!
The main reason I watch this video was to see exactly how it is you got that transfer case separated from the transmission and out from under the vehicle. That happens to be the only part you didn't show unfortunately. Thank you for the video anyway it was helpful.
unfortunatly my camera went dead at that point but if you look at the part as i reinstalled it was pretty much how i removed it
I did everything just like in this video. I was able you remove/install the TC alone using the help of a ratchet strap between the torsion bars. I also wrapped the torsion bar cross member with bubble wrap so I wouldn’t beat up my new TC.
Hey Joe, just to follow up on my previous comment. Bit the bullet bought a new re-built case and with your video switched my case out in the driveway, needless to say i have 4wd back with no god forbidden clunking haha!
I used a swivel box end wrench worked perfect for every nut 👍
awesome , thanks for watching
Wow amazing work 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽
Mine just went out on a 03 SS
Mechanic said $2000 to replace...
Wish I had your skills 😂😂🤷🏾♂️💵💵💵💵
on the mounting bolts i cut a 15mm in half to make it easier ....in installed it to day
The vent tube for the transmission where goes?
Joe, excellent work. Did you buy the transfer case from a dealership? Or parts store?
i bought it remaned from gm dealer , and thanks for watching
Beast mode begins at 14:54...👍🏾.....Excellent instructional vid man...U sir, inspire confidence......With Great Confidence comes Great Doability!😉
yeah that wasnt the easiest part of the job but doable. thanks for watching
Uses cheguei para

Excellent job!
Thank you.
great job, thanks Joe.
thanks, glad you liked it
i have a 99 silverado with a manual shift transfer and im ready to let her go
good job Joe..! 😀
Good video as always!
Will it be the same for a 2006 silverado 2500hd
Do you have to put the front driveshaft in first before bolting the T case to the transmission?
Time 25.00
Great Video thank you
+Brian Loney (B. Loney) thanks for watchin
New or reman transfer case ? How much it set you back ?
Thanks , :-)
God bless
Wyr
GM reman unit , 1549 after tax
I just wanted to see how it got pulled out lol
yeah i had a loss of footage at that part , but you can see how i put it in
Pry it loose with a screwdriver and don't get smashed when it falls out lol.
how many hours did you have into this job??
Judging from the trickle of fluid coming out of the transfer case, I can see why it failed.
indeed this customer brought it to me and yeah my thoughts exactly.. he said they always checked his diffs at a quick lube but obviously not
@@JoeTheAutoGuy was it because the input shaft seal went out on it? Causing it to leak fluid from the transfer case? There should not be any fluid leaking from where the transfer case and transmission mate correct?
Thank you so much for this video!! It did more than helped me, now I can take the transfer case out of my 2007 chevy silverado! Thank you so much man!!
Thanks joe this helped very much!
I noticed a leak coming from somewhere on my transfer case on my 04 1500 avalanche. Reading up, there is an issue where the pump wears a hole thru the case. Hoping its not the issue, but with that said...IF I have to do the transfer case swap, about how high off the ground did you jack up the truck? I ask because its important to get it high enough to work under, but there is also an issue when you get things jacked up TOO high and cant get to some of those overhead items. Very detailed video...thanks!
im having trouble slipping the front drive shaft out ......I know it should just slide out but this one aint.............the rubber boot is missing....it turns just fine while in the transfercase but wont slide....any suggestions
Cote Mc couple taps with a punch and mallet usually do the trick
One of my bolts can’t get pass the O2 sensor on the y pipe off the driver side of the exhaust so I’m taking a break tonight maybe get educated on the cross member
Thank you, sir. I've done one before, but it's been about 6 years and needed a refresher. I know the camera was a hassle, so thank you for doing it.
you should remove the encoder motor before dropping T-case (just in case it drops}
What transfer case was this.
I just replaced my transfer care, now my truck won't shift back into park when the motor is on. Also it won't engage into reverse or any of the other gears
Figara,your a young guy joe with and old school work ethic,you learned ur trade well,you don’t stand on ceremony, just take the bull by the horns and tackle it,that’s a big job for one person and not in the best working conditions.keep up the good work,excellent tutorial and filming
Thanks a ton for this video! I never would have tried it without seeing you do it first. You probably saved me $2000. Made it so easy.
thanks for watching, glad i could help you out
Ok so wat 2 wires on the passenger side of the tailshaft the little sensor on the back of th trans case passenger side are they both green bc i know the driverside vss is purple n white and green and black
Hey man ;Thank you for the excellent demo. I have an 05 Silverado that I've been restoring the engine is an 5.3 LS and I noe rum super . Your video on the transfer case is great along with your camera shots It;s nice to have people out there whom give help to those whom may never have pulled one off before. God ! I hope to never have to do the mussel work !! Thanks again --
Joe great job, is the AWD 1500 Silverado SS transfer case the same procedure.?
Yes it is , thanks for watching
Nice work Joe, Very thorough video..its giving me the courage and motivation to put mine back in.
what about the guys with a 96 Silverado I'm in the process of a transfer case removal and install another one
honeslty never had to do one of those but im sure the process isnt to different
I shouldn’t be talking cause I didn’t watch the entire vid, but why take the crossmember off? Guess I’ve never had to do that
Trans mounts to crossmember and can't come out with it in place
Great Video ..I have a 99 Chevy Z71 and it will Not pull at all in 2 wheel drive . I can hear it turning in the transfer case but the rear drive shaft wont turn. when Put it in 4x4 it will drive . It actually quit on me going to work making a whining noise after it came to a stop on the side of the road I put it In 4x4 and drove to work and then back home . Is this a transfer case problem or a transmission problem ?
scottebelew if it moves in four wheel its definetly a transfer case issue and or rear differential issue does the driveshaft spin in two wheel or does it just make a grinding noise in the transfer case
JoeTheAutoGuy No I actually got Under it with it in Drive in 2 wheel drive .. real smart I know But it was not moving and I could hear it Turning or grinding as you say but the drive shaft was not turning.. I was headed to work so I put in high 4 and It started moving .. I could still hear an squealing noise but it was pulling good . even though it would drive in 4X4 it would not go in reverse .
scottebelew Thanks For the reply ....
So umm what happened to the part of the video where you actually pulled it out???
I have a 1994 Serria 3500 4X4 with a 6.5 diesel engine. I replaced my 4L80e trans but now I can't get my transfer case back in with the torsion cross member in the way. I removed it by undoing the bolts and rear engine mount and then the truck sat for several days. I moved the truck out of the shop for another job and the transfer case fell out while moving it , now I cant figure how to get it back in. Anybody know of a youtube video to help me???? Thanks for any help !!!
My 2000 Tahoe with the NP8 t-case won’t shift out of 4WD. I put a new shift motor in, and it tries to shift but boys down and won’t go any further. I tried manually shifting it by putting a vice grip on the shaft, and I can barely move it but it just springs back to the 4HI position. I cleaned up the ground wires, replaced the t-case shift motor, replaced the buttons on the dash, and can’t seem to get it to work. Any suggestions? Is the transfer case most likely junk? It’s never made any unusual sounds in the past.
So if I dont take the cross member out and lower the transmission I cant bolt this transfer case up? 2000 silverado 4x4 1500
I got a 2000 silverado 1500 my transfer case is not sliding up on the shaft do u know what could be holding it up from going in
Hi Joe, I have an 2000 Tahoe. The transfer case is a NP 246. Is it the same procedure when changing it you think?
I have a loud clunking noice when I shift into gear D/R. When I was under the car and tried to turn the driveshafts ther is a little bit of play on both front and rear and it makes a clunking noice. Please excuse my spelling as I'm from and live in Sweden. Best regards
This helped me put alot. I bought a truck that needs a new tcase installed, old one was already out of it, I haven't changed one in so long that I went to put the new one in and it wouldn't fit, I scene in your video you removed the trans crossmember, that's all I gotta do and it will go in. Thanks.
watup joe i got a parts vehicle newly trans,5.3 motor great 373 rear and a great t case ,how much will u charge to remove trans for me???????????
Thank you
Mine has 2 vent tubes. One longer & a short. Ik where the short one goes on the transfer case nipple. But where might the longer vent tube go ?
Thank you
Awesome video for such a tight area. Thank you
CLIPS!? Anybody know where to get the clips that hold the 4x4 shifter handle to the connecting rod that conects to the transfer unit... i been looking everywhere and cant find jacksquat
Great video ! Did you buy a new transfer case? Or rebuild? I got a 99 GMC Sierra Z71 and I need a transfer case but just want to know if it’s better to get a new one from the dealership or one from auto part? Thank you .
Joe great video i watched it because my gasket is leaking where the transmission is connected to the transfer case any i idea how long that should take? And what type of fluid and does mine hold 1.8 qts 2001 5.3 Surburban.
I put gasket sealant on my gasket and you did not. Know i am wondering if that is what i did wrong because it leaks now. Does this type of gasket not need it?
excellent explanation of the process! good work!
replaceing the oil pan in the 4x4 models is a pain any one here ever done it?
good video, but 99 to 02 transfer case wont work in 03 to 07. chevy changed the 4x4 control module on transfer case in 03 but didnt change part number.
Cant. fucking. wait... Thanks for the video.
trans rebuilt 1 month ago trans mount good when in 4 high no clunk from 2ed to 3rd does trans case still turn in 2high
Have a 1998 Chevy k2500 4x4, when you put the brakes on the it sounds like a clunking noise from the transfer case
Thanks Joe you are the man! Definitely needed that stubby ratchet to get the top bolt on the transfer case "no if and's or but's about it". Seriously, cannot thank you enough. I did try the petroleum jelly trick but the gasket wouldn't stay on for me, still its worth a shot. I had the case on my chest and stuck the gasket back on before lifting lifting the tc into place. Beast mode!
Hi Joe, I'm about to install a transfer case on a 2009 Sierra 2500 (MP 1626). Does the computer get everything sorted out as far what position the transfer case is in when installed..2 Hi, 4 Hi 4 Lo... or do I need to manually shift? Also, do I need to be concerned with getting front or rear drive shafts in a certain spline alignment? It looks like you just pushed parts together without regard to orientation and everything turned out well. Thank you.
No specific spline alignment just put them on , with the vehicle running and in neutral (not park) shift from 2hi to 4lo, then 4lo to 4hi and back to 2hi and you will be all set
Hi. I have a 1999 Chevrolet Silverado. On several occasions the rear tires do not feel like they are gripping (feels like when you run over the interstate onto the roadside with the ridges to wake you up). Gas pedal vibrates as well. Only happens once in a while. One garage has said it is a bad transfer case- $2,500 + to fix. with over 200,000 miles and not a daily driver don't want to put that much into it. Any suggestions/ideas what it else it might be or do you agree with them? Need to get a couple of ideas before head out to ask questions at various shops. Many thanks.
Karen Overcash being a 99 its your call truly that milage you will never see your repair money back IMO if the transfer case is slipping out of gear HI or LO range main drive it will vibrate like crazy , but something in your t case or rear diff is most likley the cause. i have replaced quite a few spider gear assemblies in gm rear ends tht cause a no movement issue and or vibration but its hard to narrow down through text. does it happen at only certain speeds?
Like way you manhandled the transfer case
Joe if you only knew how much I fought with the transfer case in a 2002 Chevy suburban!!!!!!!!! Awesome job man!
Do you have to grease the splines between trans and t-case?
Joe Milwaukie makes a 1/4 drive electric ratchet small and has good power will reach right in and get those nuts
94 K1500 Silverado
I found a 3 pin connector on the harness near the top of the transmission not plugged in cannot find anything to plug it into
Excellent video of the noise you hear and the breakdown of everything. It was very helpful to pull the transfer case, I used The Gear Shop 1945, Baltimore Maryland to swap my transfer case. They did an excellent job. My slip yoke had a wear dip in it, so I had to replace the rear slip yoke (otherwise it will cause a leak). Thanks again
Glad it was helpful!
hey joe my sons in the airforce and on his way home 1999 Silverado had stopped because transfer case leaking all fluid they charged 580.00 dollar s and now there 500 miles from home and its leaking again , the fluids are topped off what can be causing this and how can they get it home help
Chloe Smith if the fluids are topped off then they can run it but of its leaking that badly then there is a split in the case
good video good take photo I am From saudi arabia
Fantastic video!Thank you bro!
hey where did you get that transfer case an price i need help asap
Got it from gm it was about 1300 bucks at the time now there more like 1600
I just need to replace the back housing faceing/going to the drive shaft due to the fill plug being stripped and needing to change out the fluid/check it. Can you do it with out dropping the whole transfer case? Looks like i would just have to drain it and pull the drive shaft back then remove and replace the housing?
Omar Fernandez could always just retap it and flush out the shavings if its stripped.
One of the best videos for a shade tree mach. like myself thank you
hi joe had a question.i have a 2004 chevy silverado with a bad transfer case found a used one from a 04 avalanche..my question ia will this transfer case have the same pump rub problem or is it on ly on gmc and silverados
It will unless the update kit has been put in it with a rebuild , otherwise they all have this issue eventually
I got a bad bearing I think.. it grinds at low speed and sometimes catches and clunks. it was about a quart low on fluid because it lost it through the yolk that attached to the main shaft.. I'm about 90miles from my destination.. how screwed am I?
+Robert paulson hard to say how much damage is in there but rebuild kits are available
Did changing the transfer case gasket from the gapped one to the solid one change anything?, my LPS has the new one you put on but my old one is the one with the holes in it, just want to make sure it’s fine to use
Im wondering the same
I also have an 03 Silverado. I'm getting some leakage from the transfer case seal. It's not auto trak fluid, it's trans fluid. Do you think it could be a rear transmission seal or just the transfer case seal? I'm not a transmission guy so I'm kinda stumped.
It's a 4L60E
isn't there an o-ring needed as well as the gasket required when you install the t case to the transmission extension housing?
Alright then he man lol how much you say it weighed.
Idk but they heavy lol
Nice vid! You took the time to show a lot of details! I'm starting mine now! Changing front u joints too! 208,000 on my 2009 silverado 1500. Changing front and rear dif fluids too.
Glad I could help
thanks for the video!! couple tips i picked up from it and made my t case change a breeze!
Omg bro u just muscled that xcase up in there. Dang
Hi Joe thanks for the great vid. Does the transmission and the transfer case share the same oil??
I bought a used Silverado 1500 and I was doing a fluid change on the transfer case and it looks like someone put gear oil in it. My book says it takes dexron VI just like the trans. The fluid in the trans doesn't look black or dirty like gear oil is in it but just wanted to hear what you had to say about this. Thank you :)
sdflyer1 what year silverado , do you have a floor shifter or the button shift if its the auto shift button it needs the special fluid from gm forget what its called but its blue in color and the parts guys will know it off the top of their heads. if its the floor shift than it just takes dexron 6 . some people use the ams oil in the t case and it can be darker in color and seems a little thicker
Hi Joe were did you purchase the complete transfer case I have a 2004 gmc slt z71 push button also. I'm in nova scotia Canada. thanks

Hey Joe, Thanks for the Video. I have an 03 Silverado with the Auto 4WD. I am getting a whirring/grinding noise from the front end when I am in 4x4 as well as Auto 4WD. I checked cv axles on both sides and replaced front diff fluid. Still getting the noise. I was wondering how much rotational play I should have on my front drive shaft? As well as hot much play is okay where the rear of the front drive shaft goes into the transfer case? I get some side to side play at the back of the front axle, but can't tell if it is the u-joint there, or play in the shaft as it enters the transfer case. When you have a minute let me know what you think. Thanks in advance!
Lindsey Wilkens Update: Sorry, quick update, still need some advice... After closer inspection I am pretty sure its the read u-joint of the front drive shaft that is bad. However, it is unlike any u-joint i have seen before, and I am not sure how to get it out, no rings or collars, it looks like maybe little plastic dowels holding it in there...
Did you have to ching your underwear
at 11:30 into the video. why did you jack the transmission back up?
Hi I have a 04 silverado 1500 with a bad transfer case and I want to buy a new one...how much did u pay for yours?
the customer was my brother in law and i beleive it was $1360 for a remaned gm unit w/ 100000k/3yr warranty
Great vid, can be tough doing heavy work on your own, know the feeling. :)
how long did it take you to do the entire job of replacing the transfer case assembly?
total about 2 hours
It's a 2010 an it has the button to engage the 4x4. Thanks for the info. I put gear oil in it so will I have to put the blue fluid in an drive it then drain an refill to wash it out??
sdflyer1 i would let it drain overnight , then fill it up run it for about 15 miles and drain and fill again
do you to lubricant between transfer case and transmission ?
great video, very informative information during disassembly and assembly. thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Did you have to add any transmission fluid?
always top off trans if needed
great video nice work with the camera. excellent workmanship
hey joe i have 2007 gmc i get a clunk from 2ed to 3rd gear could it be transfer case
J Nanney definite first thing to check out is your transmission mount they can cause quite a shift in movement under initial torque load
I hope I could do mine like that with ease. Thx for the instructional.
Like 200ml of fluid came out witch was black as tar I wonder what caused it to fail ? 😂
Blaine Sloan oh yeah it was bad
Thanks buddy you're the only video that shows how to do it on the ground by yourself the way I'm going to have to do it so thank you
glad i could help my friend!!!
