BURR Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I know several of you have had leaks from the POWER TAKE OFF UNIT (TRANSFER CASE). Mine was leaking at the front pass side axle. They put a seal kit in but it's still leaking. Going back in monday for another fix. Have many of you had the unit replaced with a new ne or just a seal kit fix?

igcitng Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 May depend on when you originally had it fixed. I had a 2008 and had the seal replaced spring of 2010. I was told that they had just improved the seal and it should not go bad again. Replacement seals previous to that were also bad and many people have had them replaced multiple times. Not sure how much truth there is to this, just what I was told. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BURR Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 They ordered me a new warranty PTU today. Should have it in sometime this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodiak33 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I've had this problem 3 times now, and my warranty just went up 300 miles ago. Do you guys know if there's a TSA for the seal problem? I really don't want to pony up the cash for a major flaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BURR Posted May 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Okay took awhile. The PTU was on national backorder. They put in a new one this week and now their is a small transmission leak where the unit joins the transmission. Will take in tuesday to try and get this taken care of. I don' know about a TSA or not but could ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodiak33 Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Here is the TSB I was referring to. http://way2evil.com/tsb/tsb09-25-07.pdf I had my PTU replaced in September of 2010, and I'm not sure if the part itself has a warranty on it or not. You may want to check. My leak may be due to a big temperature change, so I've cleaned the PTU and I'm going to keep checking periodically. It wasn't that big of a leak, but knowing that this is a problem made me freak out a bit since my power train warranty is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodiak33 Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Burr, I think the SAME thing happened to me when they installed my new PTU (about a month later I noticed it when changing the oil). Did they specify that it was the main rear seal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BURR Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 It was the seal or gasket between the PTU and trans. They took it apart and applied a new one with silicone. Doesn't appear to be leaking as of now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
