Any one have a sure fire way to stop the bolts on transfer case from leaking.
Thanks

Well... it's the only thing that's worked for me. Same goes for removing all the coolant. Not that I would run the truck in that way. But with the outside temp this morning at 4 degrees (F) I might be able to run without the coolant. |

Actually, those leaky bolts can be a nice external visual indicator of the gear oil level inside the transfer case! You just neeed to make sure that they all leak... |

1) Do what Al suggested
2) remove all the bolts, too
3) refit them using locktite.
Al, I have a sure way for you to improve the mpg: what you´ve done to the coolant and transmission oil - do the same to the fuel tank |

I may have a cure. Replace the output shaft seal. The bolts are probably wet from the oil escaping through there, rather than around the bolts. |
