I just turned 5K on my truck so I'm changing the spin on filter on my Allison this weekend. When should I change my transfer case fluid for the first time?

: When should I change the fluid in my transfer case? ratlover 03-03-2005, 11:22 AM Have you gotten a bit of 4x4 time? I changed mine midway through plow season with about 5-10k on it(cant remember exactly) running mobil 1 synthetic. robbdmax 03-03-2005, 12:18 PM I have spent some time in 4 wheel drive, but probably not more than a few hundred miles. ratlover 03-03-2005, 12:25 PM a few 100 is probably adequate. I dont know though. Just the way I do it. HeavyD 03-03-2005, 09:19 PM Anyone know what size that drain plug is supposed to be for the transfer case? Every size I tried seemed to be a little loose and I did not want to round off the head on the plug. Thanks.

Make sure you have the little rubber orange o ring deal outa the trans though!!! Also when you pop out the filter it will puke more ATF out. Mobil 1 rocks! You got a stock gauge and I believe its pretty accurate and it takes its reading in the sump. If your trans is pretty new I wouldnt changeit. Its speced to be changed at time of overhaul. I'm picky and anal so if I were to drop my pan for some reason and i had 50k or more on it I would probably change it anyway. Gasket is reusable though. Dont F that dude up becasue they aint cheap! robbdmax 03-08-2005, 03:34 PM I was looking in my manual and it says to use tranny fluid in the transfer case. The automatic transfer case calls for a different fluid. Is that referring to the Autotrak transfer case? I have the push button 4WD, but my old 1/2 ton had the push button with the Auto 4WD button also. Sorry this is not a very coherent thought. My question is what fluid do I use in my transfer case? I have a 2500HD D/A with push button 4WD. If I have to use tranny fluid, has anyone used Transynd in the transfer case? ratlover 03-08-2005, 04:12 PM transynd will work. I run and like mobil 1 atf in my trans and transfer case. You dont have an autotrack its the one that comes in the 1/2 tons like you said with the auto button. You can buy mobil 1 buy the quart locally, get 2 quarts and your good to go. If you have some transynd laying around you can use that no problem robbdmax 03-08-2005, 04:18 PM transynd will work.
