Nev Venture (NV) Transfer Cases

Are you having problems with the New Venture front transfer cases?

 

There is a discussion going on NV transfer cases on Diesel Place. The steel clip, which holds the oil pump housing in the transfer case, brakes in time and then starts rubbing the magnesium case, eventually, creates a hole on the magnesium case (+70,000 miles starts as a pinhole then enlarges). Increasingly, you lose oil (transfer case fluid) through the hole, and if you don’t notice the oil leak or check the oil level, you fried the components in the case.

 

Looks like, this problem is very common, and they developed a solution, a beefy pump housing that reduces the vibration, which causes the steel clip to break.

See Merchant Automotive transfer case pump upgrade now available. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=95139

 

I searched this problem in our forum, couldn’t find any. Wondering, if the problem is related to the diesel engines, which generates more vibration than the gasoline ones? Any ideas? :banghead:

Well, it looks like I will be repairing the t-case soon. I had an oil leak, found a pinhole in the t-case. I temporarily patched the hole with some metal filled epoxy and changed the AutotrakII fluid. It should be ok for a while until I get time to fix it. I only lost about 500ml of fluid. Thanks for the link to the Diesel forum and the part to permanently fix this.

No it isn't unique to diesels. I have a 99 Yukon with 251,500 miles on it and right now I'm getting it repaired for the leak that rubbed through the side of my tfer case. 5.7 litre gas engine. I'm getting a new transfer case hat, bearing and seal, along with the fix for the clip that caused the original problem. I had a 90 deg break in the case approx 1/8"x1/8". Damn bean counters any way!

I'm dealing with this problem again for the second time. I wish I knew about this forum the first time. Luckly I didn't wreck it either time. Approx 80k mi. the first time, now 140k. The dealer fixed it the first time. They knew exactly what the prob. was the first time I talked to them. They will not get the work this time. Thanks for all the post to read. I'm going to look further to see to fix for this. By the way it's an 8.1 gasser.

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.

      I always drive in Sport mode. With more driving, I am finding the initial response when accelerating is much quicker now🖕 Lou
