Absolutely. If a vehicle shares fluid between the transfer case and rear diff, the flow will be interrupted if the transfer case goes bad. A fluid pump failure would cause the flow of oil to be cut to both components thus causing a failure. Also, if there is not adequate vacum pressure for the pump system to work, oil cannot be pumped to the rear of the car causing a diff failure.
put the transfer case in 2 wheel high, if the light stays on a while after it is because there is a vacuum issue and the indicator is showing the wrong gear, this used to happen on my cherokee, give it a few minutes, you'll feel the front diff disengage.
It could be. No way to tell with out vin number, or seeing axle.
The proper gear oil for a basic v8 is 75W-90 gear oil front and back. If you have the tow package with 3.73 gears then factory recommends you use 75W-110 however this is not totally necessary if you do very little towing. You will also want to use limited slip additive in the front axle and rear if you have the 249 transfer case (no 2WD option). If you have the 242 transfer case (selec-trac) then it is optional to place the additive in the rear axle but required in the front.
Look your diff seal...and check the oil in the diff...
IF YOU CLIMB UNDER THE CAR AND LOCATE THE PROP SHAFT (BIG TUBULAR POLE CONNECTED TO THE DIFF) IF YOU FOLLOW IT TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE CAR IT CONNECTS INTO THE TRANSFER CASE. right behind the transmission
it could but is not likely to the transfer case transfers power to the front diff, not the rear
My book told me to fill them until it started running out of the transfer case and differencial. Worked fine for me...
the front diff is not engaging its not the transfer case which is manual the solenoid needs replaced
T-Case is most likely an NP229
It sounds like you need a new actuator. there is two things that lock in when you use 4x4. one is the transfer case and the other is the front diff. the front diff is turned on by an actuator. if you have a problem with the actuator the front axles wont lock in. even though the transfer case is engaged.
the 242 has full time four wheel drive made possible by a center differential while the 231 only has part time four wheel drive and no center diff. The drive shaft attachment point yokes, and spline numbers could also be different. The 242 is usually in a Jeep, while the 231 is in a truck.
No.
Power goes from the engine through the transmission to the differential to the front or rear axles. If it is all wheel drive it has a transfer case or center diff. between the transmission and the differentials.
the linkage to the diff lock pedal could be siezed/stiff that's if it even has a diff lock also the spider gears in the diff unit could be damaged causing the diff to lock up
If you have not ever done it since you bought it, I would'nt advise it. Unless of course you want to replace the transfer case, hubs and rear diff.
Any and ALL antibiotics can cause c-diff (even those normally used to treat the condition). However, azithromycin is less like to cause the problem than some of the other antibiotiics. Antibiotics which are least often associated with c-diff are vancomycin, tetracycline, and flagyl.
Yep. Drivers side vent, linked to back of t-case and ran up to engine compartment to vent. Middle to back of engine for vacume. Passenger side to accumulater for front diff under battery.
