First off, let me say this is probably completely unnecessary for 98% of you. The only one I would urge you to do is the rear, because it’s just a knob coming off the axle. Everybody should do that one. The others I did honestly, nobody should mess with those. It was a total PITA to get to the transfer case and transmission ones. If you do decide to do it, bring someone with very small hands.
While I was tracking these down, my biggest surprise was that there are two vents for the transfer case. One is obviously for the case itself, and the other goes to a black box mounted on the outside of the case some kind of vent for moisture or something. Not entirely sure.
The two transfer case vents are right next to each other on top of the transmission bell housing, pretty far back. The transmission vent is a clear plastic one right above those, but slightly toward the passenger side.
The rear differential was fairly easy nothing really to say there. It’s located on the passenger side of the rear axle, on the backside up top.
The front is also easy. It’s located on the inner fender under the hood on the driver side.
I’ll answer any questions I can, but like I said, for most people there’s no real reason to do this. They’re already fairly high, so unless you’re going through deep water, you don’t need to worry about it. But with that said at least do the rear.
