NP263XHD transfer case found in 2001 to 2007 GM Duramax vehicles as well as some 1998 to 2007 GM half ton trucks and SUVs. The seal is located where the front driveshaft goes into the front side of the transfer case.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EWhile the Front Output Seal is being replaced it is also a good time to inspect the transfer case for the dreaded pump rub issue and upgrade to the Merchant Automotive Transfer Case Pump Upgrade to ensure a long and healthy transfer case life.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhat is a Transfer Case Pump Rub Failure?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EGM transfer cases used from 1998 through early 2007 use a gear pump inside the case that is driven off the mainshaft. The pump forces oil to the planetary as well as the drive sprocket sleeve. Because the pump is driven by the shaft, the housing of the pump must float in the rear housing.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThere are tabs around the pump housing that fit into spots in the rear housing to locate the pump housing and prevent it from spinning inside the case with the mainshaft. Over time, the pump tabs can start to wear on the rear housing. GM installed a spring steel clip in the housing intended to prevent wear, but the clip can break and be rendered useless.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ESince the pump housing is aluminum and is a harder material then the magnesium rear housing, it can wear a hole in the rear housing and cause a very small leak. This leak is frequently high enough on the case that it typically will not leak when vehicle is not moving and therefore not leaving any drops on the ground; it will however leak while the vehicle is in motion. Unfortunately, since the transfer case does not have a low fluid indicator the pump rub failure is often not found until there is transfer case damage from running the case out of fluid.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAvoid costly repairs to your transfer case by preventing Pump Rub by installing a Merchant Automotive Transfer Case Pump Upgrade kit in your transfer case today, before it happens to your vehicle.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EWith installation of this kit, you will have a Limited Lifetime Warranty against pump rub. If your case ever wears a hole in the new rear housing with the upgrade installed. We will buy you a new transfer case.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EHowever, if you already have a hole in your case, we recommend installing a new rear housing for a complete repair. The MA Lifetime Warranty will only apply to installations with a new rear housing.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EFAQ:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDoes the transfer case need to be removed to change the front output seal?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ENo, it does not. The front output seal can be replaced without removing the transfer case from the vehicle, by removing the front drive shaft. Be sure to drain the transfer case first as some fluid will leak once the seal is removed making a big mess.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ESome people feel that it can be easier to remove the transfer case from the vehicle and replace the seals on a workbench though.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECan my original transfer case gasket be reused if it is not ripped?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EWe recommend replacing the transfer case gasket any time the transfer case is removed from the transmission output adapter.
