NP242 operating temperature?
Does anyone know what the normal operating temperature is for a NP242? Mine is hot to the touch even after a short drive. Just installed a Iron Rock sye hack'n'tap and now have a different vibration. When looking at ujoints I noticed the transfer case and front portion of driveshaft was to hot to touch comfortably. Is this normal? I Used a stock front driveshaft for rear.

Just changed fluid, I'll double check the level. Took only about 1.25 quarts to fill which didn't seem right. Would be kinda cool to put a cooler on it, do the Hummers use a remote pump or something?

Other people have done remote pumps. Google returns some interesting stuff

The 242 case temperature operates at 135-145F on my rig. Front driveshaft gets stupid hot due to location.
