Nice looking transmission and transfer case.

Still need to sell two more hoses for this group buy.

 

[shipmag]

The third buy is closed for any size other than 12.75. To be fair to the ones who have paid for their hoses I went ahead and placed the order for 5 12.5 and one 17.5. I will have two 12.5 hoses still available to sell.

Had mine on for over a month. It is a great fit and looks good under the vehicle.

Glad to finally get some feed back 31 hoses have sold at this point. Fun little project.

Have one 12.75 hose left. Interest has slowed down so this will be the last group buy unless i see more interest.

Just thinkin if in the event of a seal fail, the fluid flows from higher pressure transf to lower pressure transm then in a non seal failure condition if this bypass exists will it cause the same problem, or does the height of the bypass connection at the transf stop this happening?

When the transfer case seal fails the transmission sucks it from the transfer case to the transmission. The transfer case is lower than the transmission so it flows back to the transfer case. 32 hoses have been sold and the guys say it works. To test if your transfer case seal has failed open the transmission fill plug and see if fluid runs out. If the seal is gone it will be fuller than the fill plug.

It's cheap insurance if the seal fails you have no way of knowing. The seal failing can cause the oil to be drained out of the transfer case. This would cause the front seal of the transmission to leak causing the oil to get on the clutch and ruining the clutch.

 

[Canarias]

I´m not doubting this works, I´m trying to understand how problems are avoiding if this is being used for the insurance purpose. If the pressure difference is such that the transm can suck oil uphill thru the seal, why can´t it suck it uphill thru the bypass hose? I understand that it would subsequently flow back when the transmission is not moving, but what physics eliminates the risk of the transm "borrowing" the TC´s oil whilst the vehicle is running?

from my experience with my truck it took a long time for the tranny to drain enough fluid from the transfercase for it to be noticeable. It's not like the tranny sucks all the fluid out within one hour of driving. It takes weeks or months of driving for it to become a problem. This setup prevents you from having to transfer fluid or constantly add a tiny bit back into the transfercase.

Is that a 17.5" split case hose?

Thru a leaking seal understood, but how about a 1/2" pipe?

Before I implement this I want to know why it isn´t going to turn the tranny into a TC fluid vacuum cleaner.

Yes Roma bought a 17.5 for a split case. If you want more detail send him a pm.

I order the fourth buy yesterday. I will have two extra hoses. The two people who said they wanted one need to send me a pm so we can arrange payment.
