found rubber seal, where is it from? (1 Viewer)

[lt403]

hi everyone,

i was under the truck yesterday extending the breathers and found 3/4 of a round rubber seal or gasket sitting on top of my slee transfer skid plate. it is 4-5" in diameter and is in the shape of a pulley, v shaped. i hope i'm explaining myself well enough. there is no leakage present in the area and everything works fine. could it be for dust ? i'm leaving for virginia on monday and was planning on doing some wheeling in the GWNF. how vital is this piece?
thanks for the help

I bet if you posted a picture, someone could I.D. it.

Boy I sure hope it's not that one critical part again. What happened to the other guy's engine - threw a rod? Or was it an overheat and then a $6500 repair bill? Can't remember. Looking forward to the pics.

no, no, the guy with the busted rubber seal had frozen his transfer case and turned his trans to pretzels...

From the description it sound like a shifter dust boot, pix?
