Gentlemen,
I need your expertiese on changing the transfer cases and transmission fluid. ??? Does anyone know of a website that I can reference this information. ??? I need to know fluid levels and such. Or, can someone send me pictures of a 02's transfer case drain and the transmission fluid drain? I don't mind doing the work, I just don't want to hurt my BABY!!! :'( I can't afford a MLC (Mid Life Crisis caused by hurting my truck ). Thanks for your help. Love my cummins. 8)

 

No pict's, but the transfer case has two plugs on the back side of the chaincase. The bottom is the drain, and the top is the fill. You fill to the bottom edge of the upper plug. The transfer case takes 6.5 pints.

The automatic requires you drop the entire transmission oil pan and then remove the filter from the adaptor on the valve body. You also have to be absolutely certain that no dirt or crud ends up in the works once the filter is pulled off the bottom of the transmission. This takes approximately 4 quarts to refill the pan after a simple drain and filter change. However there is 16.5 quarts in the system, so I recommend taking the automatic to a shop equipped to evacuate and flush all the fluid if there is any discoloration or burned smell.

 

Looks like RCW has it. One suggestion or tip for the transfer case. If you just pull the drain plug it will drain slowly if you pull the fill plug at the same time the stuff shoots out there like nobodys business and can create quite the mess if not prepared. I usually loosen the top plug first then pull the bottom and then slowly unscrew the fill plug to regulate the flow out the drain.
