i was walking around my truck this morning and noticed that i had oil spots al over my tailgate and fenders so i crawled under the truck adn noticed oil splashed everywhere, adn not like dripping from parts just made things wet looking, i noticed that where the yoke comes out from the transfer case theres a lot of oil being flung into the under side of the cab. is this normal ?? i noticed it when i bought the truck and even my 1/2 ton chevy 4x4 had the same issue and it had an auto tranny and my dodge is got the 6-spd, ive never had any trouble with tranny issues and every time i get an oil cahnge i have the boxes checked front to back and everytime they check out full.

 

Sounds like the output seal on the transfer case is shot

 

What kinda repair bill am I looking at ?

 

I've never delt with one. some of them you can repair yourself if its an external one behind the drive flange. If it's internal the t case has to be torn apart.

IMO WAY to easy to pay a shop for. On mine I didn't even have to pull the driveshaft off the diff. Simply unbolt the centerbearing, and if it's like mine, there is enough movement in the slipshaft and u-joints to pull the yoke out of the transfer case.

Pry the old seal out, and tap a new one in. If you have the flat non-booted rear seal, a block of wood keeps it going in straight. If you have the goofy booted one (like mine) you'll need a BIG socket, or a pipe fitting to tap it in.

Clean up the yoke, slip it back in (I like to wipe a little grease to make it smoother) and bolt the center bearing back up.

I couldn't find the rear seal at the local parts store and had to order it from Dodge. The nv241hd is different-if you have a pto plate on your xcase, it's a hd xcase.

Oh, the $eal was pri$ey though.
