When was the last time you changed your fluids in your transfer case and differentials?

Yes the roto flex is a good point Willie, but I still think that you need to replace the fluids in your transfer case and differentials, if the t-case is low on fluid or the fluid is worn out then the t-case can/will make noise as the gears grind themselves to metal shavings.
(The t-case is in the middle of the truck)
And if the fluid in the t-case is bad then so is the fluid in the diffs.

I get arround 360 KM per Full Tank witch is arround 220 Milles but Mexico City is 2400 Meters Above sea Level and That also Has a Toll On Fuel Consumption. I also Loose arround 20% engine Power due to The height.
I never Use It on the city ( worse traffic in the world ) I use a Bike ( BMW 650 Dakar ) witch is called the Land Rover of Bikes.
Guess I Love go Anywere Vehicles.

My Montero I had had up to 130mph, my Disco I dont dare go over 95mph.
I love to drive fast but my Disco doesnt. And she gets what she wants, after all she is the boss.
