Did you ever get around to checking the fluid level in the transfer case? Just a few days ago my rig decided it didnt wanna drive and low and behold my tcase had decided to run damn near dry. I pulled the drain plug and inspection plate to make sure it wasnt burned up. Resealed, refilled. Drives like a champ again.

Here's an update...I pulled the fill and drain plug on the TC, and only about 3 tablespoons of gear oil came out. I checked it for metal, and it seems to be okay, but there's absolutely NO oil in that case.
I'm assuming that might be the problem....at any rate, I need to refill it, so it's off to the auto parts store for some gear oil and a pump.
I'll let you know what happens.

Last guy with same problem also ran the case dry, he got lucky removed the inspection cover gears were ok , added oil and still works
I would pull that cover and look at the gears before wasting good oil
Use "the right stuff" rtv for the gasket after spraying it clean with brake spray

Guys,
I just got back and put two quarts of gear lube in it, before I saw your posts....should it take a gallon of oil to fill it? It sure seems like 2 quarts aren't enough, although I picked that number up on another post here somewhere....
Also, because I didn't check-in until now, I also didn't pull the cover to check for damage; before I add more oil, would it be wise to do that first?
And if so, and I find any metal bits, will the transfer case be effectively D.O.A.?
