Re: PING >>>> Mike R
I was trying to save myself from
47b769ae.0405270531.1cdaf93c@posting.google.com,
but <magicclaw@mac.com> wouldn't let me go...
| I would say unless you see fluid leaking from said seals,
| you're
| probably still ok. I had a bad pinion seal from running high
| angles on
| my rear driveline for a year before I was finally able to put
| in a
| slip-yoke elminator and a double-cardan driveshaft, but my
| output seal
| from the transfer case was still fine (of course, it ended up
| getting
| replaced when I did the slip-yoke eliminator kit, anyway).
|
| To tell you the truth, I thought it odd that everyone thought
| you
| would lose fluid out of the transfer case as well; when I did
| my
| slip-yoke kit and took off that tailshaft, nothing leaked then
| (of
| course I was level and the jeep not moving, in my garage)...
| But,
| after a recent trail run and seeing a wrangler with the stock
| tailshaft bust, I learned it was true. He was trying to climb a
| reasonably steep dirt incline, got on the gas WAY too much,
| and busted
| the rear driveshaft. After the parts finished flying out (one
| landed
| at my feet a full 30 ft. away), there was a LARGE puddle of
| t-case
| fluid that had leaked out of the tail of the t-case where the
| slip-yoke would have normally held it in. After some
| interesting water
| bottle, bungie cords, and duct tape application, he was able
| to limp
| off the trail in 2wd. So, I see your point, it doesn't look
| like it'd
| leak out. Right up until the point when it does ;-). We just
| don't
| want you to find this out the hard way when you're miles away
| from
| home!
|
| I have already learned alot from this group; it's been very
| helpful to
| me in the past when I ask about doing one thing and everyone
| out there "makes sure" I know another 10 things that might
| relate ;-). It also
| helps out the lurkers who may have a similar question but
| aren't sure
| they want to ask it.

| The vibration that took out your pinion bearing also likely
| damaged the bearing and seal at the end of the t-case. Not
| for sure, but very likely.
|
| Even with a closed t-case like my Dana 300, I had to change
| the rear t-case seal as well as the pinion seal after my
| driveshaft exploded.
|
| Basically just have a close inspection for fluid leaking out
| the back before you put it all back together.
