    I'm a woman in her 50's with some experience w/ the small things but I lost faith in the dealership when they do all the fluid checks and then after pushing the issue, the transfer case was empty. For 2 years have have complained about the 4 wheel drive and I refuse to slide back down another hill. No one can tell me how to get the light on the dash to work. They said it was in the transfer case hence I found your video! It doesn't resolve my light on the dash but I feel real good about doing the work myself. Thank you so much! You are an angel.

      @jmuller86  2 года назад +1

      yea the transfer case is pretty simple and they are pretty much the same on all brands of trucks. The light on the dash for 4x4 is activated by a sensor on the transfer case. Its rare to see that sensor go bad but maybe the wiring is messed up.

    @bobw7066 3 года назад

    Hello from Australia, excellent repair job. being a Mechanical Engineer and a heavy diesel mechanic for over fifty five years the first thing you learn is to clean the job down before you dismantle it to stop shit from getting inside, the other thing is in my opinion the front drive shaft is in back to front, the slip joint end should be at the transfer case and the double Carden joint mounted at the axle. I can see that the different flanges make you fit it in that position but it is wrong. The cut out groove you are talking about is called a master spline so that it only goes together one way because some tail shafts have the uni joints are phased in other words the uni joints are not exactly at 90 degrees to each other to stop harmonics in the shaft which is different from vibration. Your tail shaft should be rebalanced because you have swapped ends, Google drive shafts for more information if you need to. Thanks for your attention

    Hey Jesse, don’t forget to get your miniature cameraman from underneath your truck cuz it gets really cold at night and tiny little gloves only help so much. Oh, and you should buy him a beer or two for being willing to get those cool under-truck camera shots with that spinning drive shaft so close to him. :-) Great video. Learned a ton on this one. Thank you as always for sharing. Stay safe and blessed.

    Thanks for showing how to do this job Jesse. We bought a 2010 Dodge Journey 2.7 Litre 16 months ago here in NZ. It looked like a nice car but after we took delivery we found many superficial problems relating to plugs, coils, and other small stuff, including a problem with the horns operating unexpectedly, anywhere out on the highway or around town. It was a problem in the steering console. We paid out about $5000 to bring the car up to a good standard, which it is now. But if you ask me if i would ever buy another Dodge, the answer would be, NO WAY, LOL. Bob NZ.

    The reason for the flat in the slip yoke is to make sure the universal joints are in alignment. If they are not, the can cause bad vibration.

    This is one of the best videos I have seen on replacing a case chain. No drama or fussing or cursing (at least not on camera) just a here is what is wrong and here is how you fix it video. I liked the old steel cases NP built. Not crazy about plastic on those forks either but that is the norm now and I guess it is easy to replace. I have looked for a Dodge of that year model in good shape for a long time and they are very hard to find. Lucky to have a parts truck on hand for the driveshaft.

    I think you should make an under carriage cleaning device that is portable Brother. Drive your vehicle over it and small sprayers pointing in different direct to clean the under carriage. There are some designs on the WEB but there bull-shit I'm sure you could come up with something better. Ya a pressure washer would work but you need a lift or you just old school it and get on your knees. I don't live in a cold climate Southern Cali. But will be moving soon to Northern Colorado, this is one of my priorities to save my vehicle from roads salts and what ever else they put down.

    Jesse, it's probably too late for that truck, but if you ever get a new truck that doesn't have much rust under it, spray the entire underside of the truck including the wheel arches [fenders] with enses oil it is a honey coloured thick type of oil, it will stop everything from rusting, however because of the aqua blast effect on the underside in the wheel arches you will need to re-spray that area about every 3 to 6 months depending on how much rain you have had.

    Jesse! Check for a went point on your transfer case! Every "sealed" apparatus exposed to the elements needs at least one to avoid over pressure, you'll find these on your cars axels (banjos) on top ,often rusted shut, resulting in leaky seals. Dodge should have put a chain tensioner in their transfer case.

    That usually happens from driving it in 4x4 on pavement, the chain is the weakest link when it binds... and the fact that your front U-joint was bad also shows that there was some serious binding.

    Jesse, great job explaining the rebuild of the transfer case, well done. Question for you, what kind of pump did you use to get the fluid into the transfer case? Thanks, Stanley
