I ask here because diesel folks know the most and h55f is in a few models. No seat belts and light globe questions!.
I was gunning the 2h in my hj75 troop bit harder than usual today 500km round trip. Well, as much as a 2h can be gunned without over revving. Towing about a 1t in 4th gear 80-90kmh, then unloaded and unhitched the trailer and rocketed back (as much as a 2h does at 2400 rpm) at over 105-110kmh for 2hrs straight. Not much 4wd, only a bit, some extremely bad corrugations for 10km, had to go slow there. Not worrying about fuel consumption due to be on a time constrained mission.
A while back I put in a breather /bypass/ equaliser hose from transfer to gearbox maybe 50k kms ago. For the most part happy about that.
Anyway, after today's sprint I discovered a little gear oil coming out of the top of the transfer. Looks like where the selector is.
Is the bypass hose having difficulty keeping up with the amount of oil leaking out of the gearbox to transfer seal ? and so a little oil rises up to the top of the transfer?
