WHERE are the vents located for the TRANNY & also for the XFERCASE?
I'm going to be checking fluid levels tomorrow before a long drive & I want to ensure that my vents can "spin & bounce".
(I figure that they must be located on the TOP of the trans & xfer, but I'm guessing that they are somewhat out of sight when you are laying on your back underneath... a description of the location would be helpful... PICS would be GREAT!)
BTW: I recently checked my axle vents & 2 of the 3 appeared to be somewhat clogged. The front axle vent seemed to "hiss" after I did the "spin & bounce", & my middle axle (fwd tandem) vent seemed to be quite clogged and at first resisted spinning. The rear-most axle (rear tandem) seemed fine. Interestingly the middle axle had axle seal leaks when I got it..... "Gee, I wonder why....." MORAL of this story: Check your vents!!
OH! & I should note that I've since acquired 3 new axle vents to install tomorrow. (I might be able to clean & reuse the existing vents, but I snagged 3 new ones to be 100% sure!)
