Okay Guys.. Got the new transfer case in. Looks really good, the packaging they sent it in sucks but hey... Took it out for a test run and drove great, almost makes me wonder how long the old one was having issues... Anywho, as were coming back to the shop we noticed some smoke and thought...Uh Ohhhhhh Well it wasant as bad as we thought... From the looks of it, this case has 2 holes for the speed sensor. Theres one in the stock location, and one on the opposite side. If you look at the stock case the hole is there but it looks to be welded up or capped off. Not something you can take out... So anyone know about this? Mechanic says buy a new sensor and stick it in there too because it's tapered and wont leak, im like why can't I just go buy a plug or something to plug it up... Any ideas? J

Thanks for the info Hawkman but I ordered the TC right after posting that last night. Says it will ship in 3 to 5 business days so we'll see what happens. Driveshaft repair is 250 and includes new yoke, both u joints and balancing. With my core returned im out 1200 bucks. Add magnaflow exhaust setup, spectre CAI, install, and stupid GA tag fees im out 2100 total and it's just Feburary. Damn it cost to be a Big Dog....LoL!

Yes, it happened just as you described above. I guess I can't be to upset, it lasted over 100,000 miles and still didnt leave me stuck on the side of the road. Well I did find a reman unit at autozone, http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/Midwest-Transfer-Case/_/N-jn1bhZ6o2o9?itemIdentifier=118394_516457_0_43692 Not bad after all I have researched thus far. 1100 and I get 300 back after I return my core. 800 bucks, and I get a year warranty. Im going to give it a shot. Company seems pretty good from what I have read, http://www.midwesttrans.com/index.html hopefully they can get it shipped out ASAP! Driveshaft needs a new yoke as well as u-joint, I'll go ahead and replace them both while im in there. If anyone has feedback on the autozone unit let me know, otherwise thats the route im going... Just FYI, my mechanic said GM has new transfer cases with 100,000 warranties for 1450, atleast thats the price he quoted me. Although I would love to go that route the funds just arent available right now so I have to choose another route. Thanks for your input Slowfive0, hopefully I can report back good news in a couple of days. I'll keep everyone updated. J

BINGO! That’s exactly what happen! I had a rear leak awhile ago and he went in and changed the seal. Not knowing about the bearing it continued to leak and the bearings failed....FTL!

PM sent on transfer case and rear driveshaft... Does the driveshaft include yoke and u-joints? Side note, how much for black bed caps and rear spoiler? You can reply in my PM. Thanks, J

Whats up Guys? Well, took my truck in for a check due to a really bad vibration in the drivetrain. Almost felt like the sound and vibration was coming directly under the cab. Started out a low buzz, and after a few days it got worse. Dropped it off Friday night and got a call yesterday with the bad news. Mechanic says the transfer case is gone, metal shavings and all found inside once he started checking things out. He also said it caused the driveshaft to get damaged as well... Truck has 112,000 on the clock and I drive it pretty hard. He's a good mechanic so I trust him but now im faced with replacement options. 1. How much is it to rebuild these things? 2. Any fair priced units out there that I can buy new or reman? 3. Any ideas where I may be able to find a good used replacement? This comes at a bad time, I just dropped a pretty penny last week on a new Magnaflow exhaust with new Magnaflow cats to pass Georgias emissons standards.... Moneys tight but I have to get her back on the road, any advise you guys can provide will be appreciated.

Thanks! I found his site.... http://shopman1.com/default.aspx price dosent seem to bad either. Think I'll order a set.

Whats up guys? I have done a search and can't seem to find a answer... I know a few guys sent theres off for chroming but how long did it take? What was the cost? Otherwise anybody know where I can get some? Thanks, JG

Looking at getting cats again, can anyone verify stock lenth as well as 2 1/2 inlet outlet? Thanks,

Dont suppose you would sell me the lower car pocket in the console? I put this there, Im taking it out so I need the stock one like this, I think it just snaps in and out... Let me know, J
