Melted my transfer case.
Ok, I searched, and didn't come up with much. I figured there would be more. My AMS downpipe melted a hole on my transfer case. I can't tell if it's just the bolt, or if there is damage to the TC housing itself.
Anyone else done a bonehead maneuver like this? ( or know of a "friend" that did?) How did you (or your "friend") remedy the situation? Can part of the TC housing be replaced?
I'm pretty pissed at myself right now. -stuie

I'll whip out the camera in the morning. The DP is touching the TC, and there is fluid leaking from that point. I suppose vibration could have rubbed a hole, instead of melted, but regardless, there is a hole now.

I posted it already in my previous thread but you will have to replace the top cover and the gasket because you most likely melted it too. I would take it to a reputable shop and make sure everything is fine on the inside of the unit. If not then it might need to be re-shimmed or send it to Shep. Also, either wrap up your down pipe, get a new one to clear the ACD or use my way...hammer it like crazy.

There is no way a pipe melted or wore away a hole in a transfer case. This is just a coincidence that the leak is near the exhaust. Take off the downpipe and wipe down the area then look to see where the leak is coming from
