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.

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
