    I donโ€™t know how many times I was told I was torturing the equipment. I was told to get bigger hammer. But donโ€™t let me tell you what tools to us.

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars RJM says:

    With all the work of R&R and disassembly/reassembly, I don't understand why all the bearings and chain were not replaced. Also, there's a better solution to the pump tab wearing thru the case – modified pump housing with large flats instead of thin tabs.

    Tosh is right 100%

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars J Connor says:

    I wouldnโ€™t worry about parts made in china as long as itโ€™s approved by the manufacturer. I own a BMW, โ€œSiemens VDOโ€ is an OEM supplier for BMW. The exact same part from the same company without the genuine BMW stamp the quality just isnโ€™t there. Itโ€™s really bizarre!

    More gm garbage

    If you wanted to gamble, dorman makes tccm. Any aftermarket part store have them.

    Why didn't you get the case saver part for the pump\case?! Good vid! My transfer case is bad on the out put to front…. May just get used like you said!

    Iโ€™ve done two or three of them before a couple dodge rams Chevys an one in a olds bravada all wheel drive automatic transfer case it was a job . A little different from the standard transfer case but same basic ideas.

    Metric crescent wrench

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars mike cochrane says:

    Man… I needed this video. It was a lot of help for me to understand what I may have to do. The rear output shaft bushing that you replaced, I need to replace mine also, and just the bushing. Can I replace that bushing without taking the whole transfer case out. Or do you think that I could remove the old one and drive the new one in around the output shaft? Thanks!

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars AFishing Addict says:

    Lol the whole GM truck probably made in China. We now know for sure since Covid19. Itโ€™s down to the ECM, bulb, axlesโ€ฆ.and there are NO new trucks coming out on dealers lot-2022 now. If anythingโ€™s made in America, they have to pay Eric here quite a handsome salary and trucks will be in the same price as Ferrari and Lambo. Those cars ARE made in their own country thus why the cost.

    Please tell us all. What exactly is an all American made car or truck? I can't find one U.S. sold vehicle whick doesn't have foreign parts.

    Holy crap Eric yesterday I made a mistake with my avalanche on dry tar four wheel low range I gave another my junk plow truck, vehicle a push and I heard a loud bang and the shutter from the front end ๐Ÿ˜–and I turned on this video to have YOU explain to me what the hell I couldโ€™ve broken….LOW AND BEHOLD โ˜€๏ธโ˜€๏ธ in the middle of your low/high range ANIMATION ๐Ÿคฏ
    Iโ€™m sure I know what broke now because 2 Wheel Dr. goes along just fine no troubles and I think four wheel high is going to go along just fine but four wheel low makes one hell of a thumping noise and it makes the whole front end jump I bet I broke THE HIGH LOW SPLINE inside that planetary gear๐Ÿ˜ณ oh boy not looking forward to fixing this one!๐Ÿ˜ขโค๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธโค๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธโค๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธโค๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธโค๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธโค๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
    REMEMBER when OBAMA๐Ÿ’ฉ bailed out GM, Dodge …………..well I heard at the time that they took the money because they built 11 new plants in China not to make trucks……. but to manufacture the parts for all their trucks so you can thank the President of the United States and our Congress๐Ÿ’ฉfor selling America out!!๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜ก

    So I'm bored over Christmas. I have indeed watched this video again.

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael Durkin says:

    Since you mentioned the electric transfer cases…
    My old truck 05 Chevy 1500
    On start up would randomly put itself into a Random 4wd setting. Was a total pita because the system would rarely work when you wanted/needed it to.

    I replaced the dash switch, had a garage do the actuators, and replaced the harness end to the front axle after finding and repairing a broken wire.
    Never did get it working correctly

    Any ideas?

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars AKTrapper says:

    Bye bye miss American pie, drove my Chevy to the parts store but the parts store was dry. Nobody was working any more they were drinking whiskey and wine they were singing this will be the day that I die.

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Farmer says:

    Great job on the transfer case. Big but, where is your helper Hanna? She hasn't been around much and you could use the help.

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kelli Smith says:

    The ever fuel efficient 6.0 lol, I know 2 folks that sold their trucks due to that – your sarcasm is the best!

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Craig says:

    why not use Chain Bar Oil to protect all of the inner stuff until it is installed on the truck. It will stick better until the oil pump starts turning.

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Johnny Sechrist says:

    CLR takes rust off pretty good. I pack seals with lithium grease to prevent that spring from escaping

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars brandon wagner says:

    My fuse was actually blown! i changed the switch 3 times and it would work for a while then kick into service 4wd before it finally stopped working and now i know why! Thank you!!!

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Keith Reutter says:

    So what ford and dodge parts also come from china and Mexico . Talk to New Prosses manufacturer who builds the transfer cases

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Av8tore71 says:

    Parts are probably by Dorman…….and we all know how you just LOVE Dorman ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

    Hi

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ron Wade says:

    I use the red, Locktite gasket maker, apply a very thin, .003" on BOTH Surfaces. Take away the air and torque it correctly and it makes an impervious gasket forever.

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ron Wade says:

    Mode: In Music, a C major scale, starting and ending on the notes C, is a C Major scale in Aeolian Mode. Use only the white keys on the Piano now, start the same scale on the second scale degree, D and end on D, Dorian Mode; no, D is not for Dorian Mode, start in the third scale degree, you're in the Mixolydian Mode. I think… There are better sources than me. Modal music, in any key signature that focuses on a note other than the Tonic note or the first note of the key you are in, is Modal music.

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Larry Barnes says:

    Next time put a case saver in it and maybe you did I was in the middle of a 6l90 build when I was listening to the video also you can tighten the case halfโ€™s and then pull the shaft up to the snap ring it wonโ€™t bind up just so you know I watch your videos because your a lot like me on how you repair things you definitely know what your doing keep the videos coming and good job thanks for all you do !!

    But it's not a hammer that is a percussion insertion and calibration tool. I have you said too many times to calibrate a huge number of persistent assemblies., ๐Ÿ˜

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bill Smith says:

    Give it to beans! Is that some sort of saying and you're part of the country? Sarah in tune says that term all the time and she's from the rust belt somewhere it's a lot cuter when she says it ๐ŸคจI'm curious I don't ever hear you say the term Geez I was wondering if that came from some mud hole up there in the American Siberian tundra

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Justin Case says:

    You can try using green scotch brite to prep for a seal โ€ฆ

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Justin Case says:

    On the last snap ring, You could try lifting the main shaft by hand at the tail โ€ฆ
