| I own a 2002 chev k2500hd. i have had several problems, but was unaware of this site to report these problems until now. first, the dryer switch on the ac went bad @ 34k. second,@ 65k i had to replace the front left wheel hub assembly as talked about in one of the other complaints i read. third, @ 95k my transfer case developed a leak and i lost all the fluid. a chevrolet mechanic showed me a transfer case that had gone bad due to the same problem and had been used in 4wd w/out fluid in it. another chevrolet mechanic told me he had seen several of these and that jb weld is your friend. so i patched the hole, and 10k later it developed a second leak in a similar location and also about this same time an electrical part (about $550) went out for my 4wd. now at 130k it has developed a third leak! also starting @ approximately 50k, my rear differential has locked up on me several times and i have had to replace 4 cables on my tailgate. after being a chevy man all my life i think i will look at toyota. *nm | |||
| POWER TRAIN - TRANSFER CASE (4-WHEEL DRIVE) | |||
| 02/13/2006 | 92000 | 1 | 12/16/2002 |
| Routine maintenance revealed a leak in the transfer case. this lead to discover a small hole in the case. this is caused by a part defect that breaks over time. usually around 85,000 to 105,000 miles. the part is an anti-rattle clip that prevents the inner pump from of course rattling. when this part breaks, the pump then rubs a hole from the inside out. if this is not caught in time, the lubricating oil would run dry and this would lead to a drivetrain malfunction. i will be ordering a replacement transfer case. yes old part will be available. note: as of yet, the replacement part for this has no modifications to prevent this from happening again. *jb | |||
