Dammit! Transfer Case is leaking like a sieve. Please help me as I remove it.

Just praying that the shaft is not bent. How to I find this out? Take it to a pro or put it back in and see if it vibrates?
 
Put it back in and see if it vibrates. Doesnt take long to pull it out if it does.
Jusr make sure the ujoint is fully seated in the yoke when you reinstall it.
 
Another lesson learned! You're marking these off pretty quickly! Hey, could have been a lot worse. Highway... Rain... Snow... Halfway up a muddy hill with 18 jeeps behind you. In the rain. And snow. Next to a highway so everyone else sees you... There, feel a little better now?
 
The seals I put in appear to be holding, I don't see any leaks, yet anyways. I also have a nice little dent in my floor too but it should hammer out pretty easy.
 
That's one of the things you look for when buying a jeep is the famous driveshaft dent. I bet you booty hole puckered up tighter than......
 
Well, I swapped out my first U-joints today. It's a bit of a pain getting the U-joints out when you only have rudimentary work tools and space but getting them back in was pretty easy. Although, finding quality U-joint straps was a bit of a hassle. Some didn't fit right and others just looked super cheap. Took the hard to off as well and took a cruise with the wind in the hair. It's nice to have the Jeep back.

Oh I haven't taken it out on the free way or highway yet, but I haven't noticed and vibrations yet. Keeping the fingers crossed.
 
I bet you did. I happened in my buddies Ford ranger. His rear fell from the front side. It hit the ground and shoved it through the bed while lifting the truck in the air. It will pucker you up

One question on the installation. How far should the speedo cable be screwed in? As far as it will go? because it seems to keep going and going and going

Does it ever stop? If it doesn't it is stripped and you will need a new one. Align the cable to how it goes it (it is keyed) screw it it till it stops, then turn it with just a little torque with pliers and a rag over it
 
Will you explain what you mean by it being "keyed" I didn't notice anything like this.
 
The actual end of the cable has a shape to it, I think square. It fits into the same shaped hole inside where the end cap screws on to.
Place the keyed end of the cable in first. Making sure it is seated. Then screw the cap on until it stops finger tight.
 
Ok next problems, 1. there is now a rattle at high revs but no vibration. 2. while lying under the jeep and having the gf rev the engine, the jeep died and wont restart. I added fuel, but I suspect a broken fuel pump (it was really really loud) or a blocked fuel line due to a dirty tank. I have n reason to think the tank is dirty other than the fuel pump was loud enough to make me think it was having to work really hard. More expirenced people can tell me if a pump is louder when it is partially clogged.

Pull your oil dipstick and smell it to see if the oil is contaminated with gas. When mechanical pumps go bad it is not uncommon for the seal on the diaphragm to leak and pump the fuel into the crankcase. :wave:
