Leaks from the vent or output shaft seals is usually a sign of the transfercase being overfilled. Check your vent to make sure it is not clogged!
Make sure all four tires on the vehicle are the same size and are inflated to the same pressure. This is particulary mandatory for All Wheel Drive Transfercases. The computer controlled transfercases in the later model vehicles react to even a one-quarter inch difference in the tires causing problems with the transfercase. This means tire size, tire pressure and tire manufacturer will all make a difference in the transfercase working properly. If tires are not all the same manufacturer, checking tire size can be accomplished by marking all the tires at 6 o'clock positoins and driving the vehicle 200 feet straight forward. The tire marks should still be in the same o'clock position (if not, this means means wear which will affect the transfercase). Under inflation by even as little as 3 to 5 psi on one tire can cause certain transfercases not to shift properly. The viscous coupling in the transfercase requires all tires to match in size and pressure and will be damaged if tires are not. Differentials will be damaged by mismatched tires as well. Codes for traction and stability control, ABS and steering angle sensors will also read improperly if the vehicle tires are not matching.

1. Choose a business that really knows transfer cases. Talk is cheap for the shop but expensive for the customer.
2. Make sure they replace all bearings, seals, fork pads and chains with high quality products. Be sure they use Morse chains (Morse chains are of high quality and are less likely to stretch with wear).
