Hey bud what type transfer case did you have?

 

The rebuild for my 01 chevy cost me $750 at the shop. That's including parts and labor, the issue i have with your pricing is that its a lot of money to rebuild that transfer case. It sounds more like the case to your transfer case was damaged (crack do to hitting something or from common issue of lack of support that causes increased movement when driving with or without 4wd on.)

 

If the case itself is damaged that would explain why the price is so high. But if its not then they over charging you. The rebuilding can be done by a DIY but you need to take it slowly and follow the directions from the diagram. You can by the diagram from your local chevy dealership.

 

You can get the complete overhaul kit from Rigid axles. That comes with new seals, bearings, seals, and etc.

 

Here is a tip when doing the transfer case rebuild. Make sure you take the black cover that looks sort of like a mouth (you will notice it when you look at it. It kinda looks like a fish face.) Off and remove the snap ring. If you don't then you risk causing a lot of damage to your transfer case.

 

Also make sure you use the correct gasket maker. If you use the wrong one it can get into your pump filter and cause issues with it performing like its supposed to. If you are unsure what type is need contact chevy dealership part depart and ask them. They should be able to tell you which one is recommended for this job. I hope this post helps you even though i am about 6 years little late but if it didn't help you but maybe someone else then that works as well.

    • I am not techy at all but wondered if you have the truck running but sitting still in park as some functions gray out as soon as the truck is moving. I believe in the settings for updates you can choose for it NOT to update and I wonder by chance if maybe that was chosen before and now it won't allow you to chose to press update, I think that is back in the settings menu where it has all the items one wants on or off etc. Also I assume you have a wifi connection and checked that it has some signal strength, not that it would have anything to do with the grayed out updates choice in that case. What I am thinking out loud of here may be be of no value but thought I would suggest it, sometimes it can be the simplest thing that resolves an issue.  
    • The so called rare failure that some certainly liked to tout ( die hard Ford fan boys ) as per the lifter failing and wiping out the cam. Back when it started happening the blame was being pointed to the lifters and honestly I never did hear anything myself conclusively one way or the other on that. Ford themselves in I believe 2024 had a technical bulletin I will call it that came out and for some engine platforms they were reprograming the engines idle speed but also they had a software update for the oil pump which then some time later was said what that software update did as to be increasing the oil pressure at idle. It is a good question if that issue was completely solved as one Ford specialist mechanic youtuber said he saw failures after that time period. Like anything there would be the variables, what oil is being used and the OCI and how much idle time gets put on an engine. I've seen some comments to claim that the L8T isn't so happy with high idle time either but I also know that companies that require their vehicle to idle a lot on the job don't tend to get the oil changed often enough for all those hours of idle time and go off of the odometer. 
    • My 2026 Silv. 1500 WT (reg cab/short bed/4wd) has the 40/20/40 with storage in lower middle seat as well as the fold-down center bolster/armrest.   With the dual glove boxes this is about as much storage as possible in a std cab IMHO. Bill
    • I have a 2026 base 1500 "WT" regular cab with basic Chevy "Infotainment 3" 7-inch screen/radio. How many speakers do I have If I want to upgrade? Is the audio amp separate from the radio/display unit]? [I listen to classical and it gets a bit raspy at slightly higher volumes. Don't need a sub etc.] Do I have two or 1 speakers in the doors? etc. Thanks Bill  San Jose
    • probably won't get a response from that user, as they haven't returned to the site since making that one post.  users don't (at least I don't, and I haven't seen any setting which would notify me via say, email) get any notification other than going to this site, and checking if they got a response on their thread...
