Parts guy did not know. But again thanks to you, he found the right fluid. Really appreciate you doing these helpful videos.

@wildbill23c 3 жыл бұрын

LOL Mercon V will work just fine in a transfer case. Mercon V supercedes the Mercon 4 and 3. You just can't mix Mercon V with other fluids...so if you drain a transfer case that had Mercon 3 for example you can fill it back up with Mercon V. Mercon V is synthetic, Mercon 4 and lower are conventional ATF. Mercon LV is low viscosity fluid used in a lot of the newer transmissions and PTU's.

The uncut lid and their little covering tips make good hose and line plugs/caps as well. Stay gold.

Another Great Video! Thanks Bruddah! I have three of those quart pumps. One each for Trans oil fill, regular oil fill and lastly one for my hand cleaner. Bruddah, here is a Tips & Tricks idea for you. I've found from many years of working with pipes and fittings and such that it is easy to overtighten NPT threads to the point that they will cut new threads into the metal, especially soft metal like aluminum that they are screwed in to. Reason being is most all pipe threads under 2 inch are tapered and after repeated tightening, especially over tightening, the plugs will actually start cutting new threads (steel plug vs aluminum housings) into what you're putting the fitting in and also over time wear down the threads on the fittings you're installing. This is why you'll notice that the plug went in a little more then when you removed the plug. Best to replace the pipe plug when the top of the plug goes into the housing or before. In the past I've had to make a larger plug hole and use a larger plug. I would suggest making an adapter with an o-ring seal and straight machine threads that screws into an adapter with pipe threads on one end and straight machine threads on the other end. The adapter fitting cost less than $10 and it extends the plug drain hole out a little more to clear the housing, The old oil now drains right into the bucket without getting oil all over the housings, frame, your floor and what not. Bottom line - no more mess and you have a solid seal for years. I've done this many times and for $.15 cents I change out the plug's O-Ring maybe every five years or whenever it needs it.

@FordTechMakuloco 7 жыл бұрын

Very good info I am always weary of cracking the housing when using pipe plugs anywhere whether it is automotive or construction work.

@hawaiianf1504 7 жыл бұрын

liquid teflon is the best lubricating sealant that I know of. It should always be put on so it isn't on the first and last two threads of the plug. This so it won't drip or fall into the housing and mix with the fluids. When the fitting top is close to the housing when tightened it's past time to replace. Usually on pipe threaded fittings I only put it on the middle of the cleaned threads. New NPT fittings seal at 3/4" of it's length. Any more than that i'd be looking for a new plug or a new idea.

Hi, I have a 2010 F150 and I’ve got transfer case fluid leaking from between the splined output shaft and the driveshaft. I noticed this due to the spray of fluid from the driveshaft u-joint. The driveshaft was replace this past spring due to a center bearing failure causing a vibration. There doesn’t seem to be any leaking around the output shaft seal on the back of the transfer case. From what I can tell, the only thing that I could is to add some grease between the shafts. What are your recommendations? Thank you.

Hi. I have a 2015 f250 that got noisy at 38000 miles. Seems to be loudest near the front of the transfer case, even in 2wd with the rear shaft disconnected. Fluid is clean with a few specks in the bottom of the clean drain tray. Normally, I'd be thrilled with the way it looks. The noise is hard to describe. It's kind of a cross between a differential whine and a grinding brake rotor.... Have you seen many issues with these late models transfer cases? Thanks!

Should I run the 4x4 before the change ? Or can this be done cold ? Thanks

Ford Dealer recommended a BG flush package for my 2014 f150 transfer case....is it any better than the method used in your video? Any help would be appreciated! Love your videos*

Have you done a video on how to replace the transfer case rear seal? Thanks!

What fluid do you reccomend for a 95 F150 XLT 4x4 for transfer case and the front and rear differentials

So I just did this on my 2015 XLT @ 60k miles with the non 4A transfer case. The fluid came out bright red, probably almost the same color as the day it was put in. Is it possible that the 4a transfer cases are harder on the fluid than the non 4a version?

Can you comment on your thoughts on the transfercase fluid being replaced with Mercon LV? Seems you can not get the XL-12 transfercase oil anymore and they are now saying we should us Mercon LV...I have. 2009 F150 FX4 with very low mileage (55,000KM) so I want to make sure I use the proper fluids prior to a summer of towing (the truck sits 95% of the year lol)

Hello Brian - I am here in The Philippines and using a 2005 Escape Hybrid. When I change the PRU fluid, can I flush it with another oil or fluid - do I just Drain and Fill with a new 75w140?

Thanks for all the great content! One question...I've heard Ford now calls for Mercon LV ATF for all late model transfer cases? Is this true? I'm about to do this service on a 2016 and a 2020 F-150 in particular. Thanks in advance.

My 2011 F-250 took a little OVER two quarts, as the video says. The owners manual says 2.0 quarts, but I recommend buying 3 quarts or you won’t have quite enough.

I got tired of the humming while in 4x4 so I drained out my tcase and refilled with 75w90 gear oil, works great and no more humming.

Hey FordTechMakuloco I have a 2004 ford explorer xlt 4x4 that has intermittent noise while in 4x4 auto and a constant noise while driving in 4hi also it just flashes when I attempt to put it into 4low. Sounds like transfer case is grinding when switched into 4x4. Is there a way to diagnose the noise without just replacing the shift motor or tearing into the transfer case? When I turn the front drive shaft by hand I can feel a bit of slop when rotated back and forth but no grinding. I'm guessing that the shift motor could be bad and not fully engaging the transfer case. Whats the likelihood of this or the odds that the transfer case is in need of repair?
