- Don't panic if your transfer case is bad on your Dodge Durango or Jeep this easy to fix proceedure cost me less than $300. it cost me that much because i bought the chain from a local dealer. I work on electronics by trade but i didn't have $4000 to spend on a 2011 Durango thats worth $8000
$2000 for rebuilt xfer case and $400 for a garage to install. A donkey from new york wanted to charge me $1100 for a used one. He said "Another one! !! I can't take these out fast enough! "Thats when i knew i didn't want his junk, they dont even check them.
Nice job! Very cool 😎
great video, thank you so much. im hoping my issue is just the control module, but I'll follow your advice on the transfer case replacement, i think i can do it myself
if i need to i should say, im trying the module replacement this week. my wk2 is shuddering at low speeds and binding up when turning as well
Fat chance it’s the module what happens is when you don’t replace all four tires the module detect that the wheels in the front are turning at a difference speed than the wheels in the back because they’re not the same size tires that are new 10/32 and should definitely be changed when the 2/32 But that’s the system is that it’s too sensitive and people who only change two tires that keeps going in and out of four-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive if it’s making that kind of noise you either broke it I’m going in and out so much or the chain is so severely stretched, and it needs to be changed as soon as possible
@@jameseiden2340hey brother appreciate this video going through same situation here had drove my jeep for few days with spare and prior drove around with a low psi tire, in your case you didn’t replace the module just the transfer case component correct? I get a strong knocking noise when at turning speeds
@@danweekliesorama9995hey man how did this issue turn out for you? Trying to solve this the cheapest way 😅
Yes that’s right ,,, only the chain , fluid ,
What is the torque spec on the 10mm inverted bolt ( transfer case housing ) painted blue / green ? Mine in having a fluid leak not sure what if it’s inside the Chain location, the vehicle have side step rails that’s add a little inconvenience on the ground without a lift . Thank you
27 ft lbs but you must use the black gasket maker in the tube sold by Lowe’s home improvement
Nice video! What did you use to clean out the transfer case. And did you use rtv black silicone to reseal it?
I use carburetor cleaner, but you can use anything I only cleaned out where the metal was on the magnet and yes, I used RTV sealant and it’s still isn’t leaking no problems whatsoever and if you like the video, please subscribe I went through a lot of trouble and there’s more coming
Awesome, thanks! Also did you use Mopar At4 Fluid?
Yes I cleaned it out using oil base solvent out of a harbor freight parts cleaner and used permantek black rtv
@@HookinFever there was a tricky part it lists two different types of transfer cases and I didn’t get it, but I used the one in the manual for single speed because the other one is for the automatic transfer case and you know you have this if you have a motor on that transfer case that engages that’s why you’re supposed to change all four tires at the same time
do you remember offhand what the torque was for the 8mm bolts that couple the front/rear drive shaft & the 12mm for the balancer?....I appreciate it

Great video and thanks for posting 👍

@@jameseiden2340 already did
Great video $5000 thanks yous.
That’s very well appreciated and this video needed to be done because all these cars are aging. Whatever the gearing was made out of the sprockets in the shaft is some sort of space age material that had nowhere I only changed the chain.
thanks for the reply i can see 300 in parts, my dealer wants 5000. i like the rear facing cover and rear driveshaft removal and no t/c removal. thanks again for a great video. @@jameseiden2340

Just regular parts cleaner. Cant use solvent or if u do let it dry out in the sun before you put it back together
Great job on the video. As i understand it from your comment on someone elses post youve suffered a stroke. You did great man. Thanks for leading the charge on this. Im going to tackle this myself. Would you believe i was quoted $5,100 in the Seattle area to R&R The transfer case!?! No way!
Just a minor correction on your diagnosis. 1. You didnt do anything wrong. These chains stretch and not due to changing fluid or not. 2. The noise is from the chain slipping over the sprockets due to being stretched. You might notice upon acceleration that you dont have full power, which is due to lack of traction.
How hard was the sprocket removal?
My research is pointing the finger at me because I didn’t buy four tires at a time. I only bought two and they’re saying that puts extra pressure on the chain because the wheels aren’t the same size if one severely worn down and the other ones are brand new the tires are not the same size. As for the sprocket, I didn’t take that off. It comes attached to the shaft. Once you get the cover off, you put the new chain on then you put the sprocket back in the shaft. That’s the only way to get it it was incredibly easy the only thing that I’m totally, amazed by is whatever these parts are made out of you must be the same as the iPhone 15 nothing was scratched damaged or wore down only the chain, but just remember to clean the magnet at the bottom of the case. There was so much metal on it and when you’re taking the shaftsor couplings out so you can get at the transfer case. There is a slot on one side you might have to turn the driveshaft a little bit to rotate it where you can see where to plug those couplings apart.
Great video, James! Trying to track down a single clunk on acceleration. I'm thinking this might be it. I have the single speed transfer case - 2014 GC 4wd with tow package.
If you put it on the left, I think you can make it do with channel locks on the shaft and give it a yank. You should hear that chain snapping inside I pulled the oil filler plug and got to see inside with the camera and I saw the chain doing it.
Also, know that the longer you wait the more of a problem it’s going to be if you could catch this thing, making noise and get it when it first starts you just need to chain
@@jameseiden2340 Were you getting any roughness at all on acceleration? Mine feels like knobby tires on the front when I accelerate, and it made a loud noise one time when I took off quickly. When I changed the fluid, it looked to me like the chain had more movement than I would expect.
Thank you. I looked at the internet and found no explanation for that problem and how to solve. I would like to know something necessary for that problem. My Dodge Durango 2015 awd v6 3.6 Which cars are the same awd carrier case? I would like to buy a used jeep grand cr carrier case but I don't know if it fits my car. Please clarify
That’s a great question and yes, the answer is in your glove box in your owners manual go figure it has the two different kinds of transfer cases is automatic and the other one is mechanical and automatic I mean it’s electronic when in doubt get your Van number and call your local dealer. That’s where I bought my chain.
Please elaborate on the carrier bearing bolts you said not to break. You say they break off in the frame? I assume you loosened those to get the driveshaft to move or come out?
There is a time counter on the bottom of every video please list the time stamp in the video that you’re referring to.
If you’d like the video and expect an answer, please like it
@@jameseiden2340 You mentioned it beginning around 6:10
yeah there’s like eight bolts going in it all the way around snap one off was just stating the obvious anytime you snap a bald off inside just do it off a little bit at a time if you feel it and crank it back in two turns and then crank it back out use break free oil
HI! James excelent job. What brand of chain did you buy?
Oem !!!
@@jameseiden2340 Thanks for support

i was reading the service manual for this and it says "There is a blue link on one side of the chain. This blue link MUST be
installed facing upward". Not sure if they mean the blue link should be facing outwards (So you can see it and not towards the back of the housing) or if they mean towards the top of the housing.
I wouldn’t worry about that that’s for the MasterLink. That’s no big deal that’s just an extra precaution so it doesn’t get caught on anything but there’s nothing for it to get caught on so you have nothing to worry about.
If you have the service manual, please Pause how many torque inch pounds the bolts have to be when putting the assembly back together
Where did you get a service manual?
James. Great video. What did you use for a gaskit. Also did you change the scrubber. And after you removed rear driveshaft. Did the front slip out easy. Thanks
Black gasket maker, silicone I can’t think of the popular name but it’s in a blue and white tube. No amazingly enough just like the sprockets everything wasn’t even scratched and I have 160,000 miles on it. Unbelievable. As for the front, I don’t know I just took the rear out. I left the transfer case inside the vehicle I removed the coupling, separated. It enough loosened all the bolts and took it down. Half of it cleaned out everything clean the magnet check the scrubber checked everything couldn’t find any problems Besides the chain being really stretched I found this by sticking a camera inside the fill hole and I worked a chain back-and-forth and socks slapping around in there that’s why I went on this venture because I really didn’t have $4000 but I will tell you this, I must putclose to 12,000 miles on it now and there’s no problems whatsoever that’s just an update
Awesome. Thanks for filling me in. Did you use a mopar chain or just a $100 chain. And last did u have to tork bolts or just as tight as you could get them. Have a great day glad the car is working great. Best video out there
Mopar chain Some things you can go aftermarket but this is definitely not one of them. I hope you did this by now or you’re causing more damage. This is one of things you have to act as soon as possible to avoid catastrophic failure
@@jameseiden2340 thanks James. The truck has been off the road for awhile. Stilll cold in New York. I havent ordered any parts yet. Gonna take it spart see if i can get away with just foing the chain. Keep u posted. Thanks again
If you really like the video, please subscribe I got more stuff coming up
Did yalls abs an traction ligjt come on bc of it?
No
Im not sure if i need a transfer case my problem is when i put my 2016 dodge durango into reverse its like the wheels are dragging does anyone know what that could be
Yes, the easiest diagnosis there would be to get off four wheels off the ground and since it’s in all wheel drive, you’ll be able to tell you can also try doing it with the engine off and turning the wheels by hand
Hey did you solve this problem, if you did can you tell me what it was for you having similar problem

Do the gears just pull right off or does it have clips?
Don’t take the spockets off the shaft.
@@jameseiden2340 thankyou
@@jameseiden2340 How do you get the chain over the sprockets if you don't take them out then put the whole assembly back in?
@@mahoney1138 leave the sprockets on the shaft, pulled the shafts out of the bearing. They’re not Preston the shafts, but the bearings are pressed in housing so they stay in there.
Where do you get the chain from
Dealer
Where can I get the parts
My advice is because of all the knock off parts that you can buy. Sometimes you can do that sometimes you shouldn’t it’s like buying a role of tape you can get one at the dollar store or you can get one at Walmart by 3M. I paid the extra $60 and went to the dealer.

Appreciate the video. What did you use to clean the transfer case?
Just regular parts cleaner, and then I dried it all out, but make sure you clean the magnet
