Im new to this forum. But the last few days Ive been reseraching this issue quite heavilly. My bad luck... Purchased an 05 Chevy 2500 HD 6.6 TD with 142,900 kms. Had 2 used vehichle inspections from 2 different certified GM dealers. The one noticed the Tcase was low on fluid. Looked for leaks and found nothing apparent (I was there and neither did I) and did a Tcase service and fill. At 143,500 kms (One week after I bought the truck) I noticed spots in my garage under the Tcase. Took it back to the dealer and we both looked at the Tcase again, I thought maybe they didnt tighten something up as the fluid was minimal while parked. (Normal) (Same mechanic that did the nspection) We both noticed a tiny pinhole on the rear top half of the case. Told me the same story about the spring, pump, movment and wear issue. Quoted me 900$ + 5 hrs labour for the rear half of the casing (Assuming all the internals were good) or 2400$ for the full transfer case and 2 hrs labour. I never got recomended the "Patch" solution but they made it quite clear that this is a known problem. too bad GM has done NOTHING to help us out on the out of pocket cost and repairs to whats a well known problem.. Long story short in reading through countless forums the general idea Im reading is around 140,000 kms (90,000 miles) these problems are occuring. and my Warrenty (5 year, 160k) expired 2 months ago... Nice surprise cost for a truck that was just purchased, and 2 GM certified inspections were completed on.
