I RECENTLY HAD A NO OIL ISSUE, LOOKED LIKE SOMEONE WENT CRAZY WITH THE SILICONE GASKET STUFF--2 NICE GLOBS WERE IN THE OIL HOLES/ SLOTS, OF THE TRANSFER-CASE. EVEN THOUGH I WAS TOPPED OFF, OIL COULD NOT GET INTO THE TAIL-SHAFT PART. THIS "WAS" A TAPERED BEARING, ALONG WITH THIS "WAS" A TAIL-SHAFT AND "WAS" A HOUSING (BEFORE THE RACE SPUN AND RUINED IT). DEFINITELY, NOT A GOOD DEAL, WHICH I DID NOT SEE COMING---BUT YOU! NEED A CHILTON REPAIR MANUAL, AND NEED TO READ THRU THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE SECTION, AND STAY ON TOP OF EVERYTHING--RELIGIOUSLY!----I HAVE 2 JEEPS, 34 YEAR OLD IS MR. JEEP, '77 CJ 5)HAD THE "NO OIL" ISSUE, AND 65 YEAR OLD "WILLY", MY '46 WILLYS----BOTH ARE DRIVERS, BOTH HAVE BEEN MY BUDDY A LONG TIME, I EXPECT MY DAUGHTER WITH INHERIT BOTH ONE DAY, SHE HELPED RESTORE HIM WHEN SHE WAS 2-3, AS CAPABLE OF DRIVING HIM AS I(3 SPEED MANUAL), AS WELL CHANGING A TIRE, UNDER HOOD MAINTENANCE, AND OPERATING 4x4 IN NEEDED CONDITIONS---SHE WAS CAPABLE OF ALL OF THIS, AT AGE 10, WHEN SHE STAYED WITH ME FOR HER SUMMER VISITS. MY PLAN WAS TO GET HER DRIVERS LICENSE IN HIM, HAVE HER CRANK HIM UP WITH THE HANDCRANK, DRIVE W/ OUT ANY SEATBELTS (NONE IN MANY RIGS BEFORE 1963, AND LEGAL, NOT TO HAVE THEM!) HER EVIL MOTHER BEAT ME TO IT, IN A REGULAR CAR. KNOWING HOW MUCH I WANTED TO HAVE THAT MOMENT. HER BIRTHDAY IS MY HOOD NUMBER. SHE AND MY GRANDSON VISITED AT CHRISTMAS, AND SHE DROVE HIM THEN. THE DRIVETRAIN ON HIM IS ORIGINAL, ALL I HAVE EVER DONE IS REPLACE THE SEALS. JEEPS WILL LAST FOREVER, IF YOU TAKE CARE OF THEM!THE MEDIC
