Ok,
I have finally finished my installation of my SYE and took my rig for a ride last night (front wheel drive only @ this point). My question is, should the Transfer case get worm to the touch? Before you ask if i filled it back up with fluid. The answer is yes, i used ATF+4 and filled it up to the fill opng.

Should the case get that worm? I never thougth to check before since everything was in perfect working order...

Also:
- I found a High Pinion D-30 locally for $150.00. Does anyone know if that is a good price (I assume it is a steal at that price). Now I have a Low Pinion and would like to swap it out with a High Pinion and build that axle up.. I assume the swap would be a direct fit since it came out of an XJ.

Any Thoughts / Suggestions would be appreciated.

 

The high pinion is a direct bolt in. As far as the case being warm, I dont know.

 

Everything with moving parts in it gets warm.

 

Ya, I get that.... I guess what I'm asking should the case get really worm to the touch. If everything is working correctly inside (pump/bearings/etc) how hot/worm should/ or shouldn't it get? Just want to be sure I don't run into any problems down the road.

 

It would get warmer than usual if you're only using the front diff, the t-case is in 4x4 and only the front is working.

 

Thanks, that was the info I was looking for. makes scence.
