I think my dad was telling me that modern chain transfer cases / aluminum case transfer cases need to be overfilled slightly with ATF via a pump and then you have to quickly reinsert the fill plug before the excess fluid leaks back out ? I will research ATF+4 but I have like some type of normal...

Is Lucas that pricy? Valvoline and Ultra 1 Plus must be cheaper than that. I bought Triax, which is like ~$40 USD for a gallon on Amazon. I thought nobody has sold Synchromesh since Obama was President? When people rebuild a 4500 do they sometimes eliminate the picky fickle need for some...

My synchro is already bad

If I had just dropped thousands on a DIY and/or paid rebuild, maybe id be more apt to blow ninety or a hundred dollars on 1 gallon Your first paragraph is over my head. Do I recall that before crappy cheesy chain transfer cases debuted, they had planetary gear transfer cases? You're correct, im...

I figured any vehicle this new with an aluminum transfer case case/shell has chain inside, and therefore must take ATF. What is +4???

I'm not expecting you to research for me, but is that little round tag with red paint likely what, I should be using, or should there be a rectangular data plate somewhere? I might be retarded and those old photos I attached are the TC not the transmission. I need to slow down and look closer...

I'm not trying to be curt or fresh, but by your logic, if someone,  after buying a fluid, was to discover that the fluid they bought might incredibly damage their vehicle, they would be crazy to heed said new knowledge or advice, and they should just put the fluid they already have into the...

I have a 'franken-truck'. it seems like I might have a 2002 Dodge 3500 2wd cab, possibly a third gen dodge front 4wd axle, and other drama. Not sure if my frame is cab-n-chassis or regular. No idea. I assume I have an NV4500 transmissionmission. Who knows, it could be from a Chevy or anything...
