Normally I can find an answer pretty quick on here without having to make a post, but need some input from some of you on this one. I recently filled transfer case but it was very low and not sure if that’s what did it or just wheeling/driving in general. Haven’t used 4wd in about a year from school, and this happens. Shifts into 4lo/4hi with ease, drives fine, but as soon as there is any load (like against a log or in mud), for lack of a better word, almost locks up or seizes. Only in 4wd, and only with a load on. Otherwise operates like normal. I’m just not sure where to start. Chances are TC could be shot, which would suck, but hoping some of you can give me an idea on what to think about doing next. The only thought I have is one of the spline on the driveshaft to/from the TC to front axle, but I can’t explain or understand why it would be spinning perfectly fine when not under heavy load (even up to ~2k rpm when driving on gravel). Don’t really want to throw parts at it since thats never ending. Let me know if any of you have any ideas. I know U-Joints get brought up a lot, and I haven’t really gotten under to take a look yet as it’s pouring rain and cold here. About to head out to sea in the next week or so and hope to get to this sorted for the next time I’m home. Thanks in advance all.
