Ugg! Sorry to hear that. I was revewing the steps on my alldata.com account and it don't appear terribly hard to remove. Like 8 bolts and a plug and a hose. Pretty damned heavy though. Might want a tranny jack for that job.

Best of luck on the repair Thumper!

Sorry to hear about your transfer case. On a side note, If I had a lifted F150, I would hope it looked as good as yours

Hmm, I just got on the creeper and looked at it again. I wiped off the red fluid after my drive but now theres no more fluid. Im starting to think it is the driveshaft seal going into the transfer case. . since my driveshaft is a little too short. I checked the transmission fluid and all is well there. Hmm.

Guys the red fluid would be the transmission fluid, correct?

Thanks for the compliments!

Maybe you should stick with stock for a while.

A little bit of seepage isn't anything unusual.
