Hello all,

First of all, let me say thank you to all those involved with making this website a success. The amount of information here is invaluable!

Our 2001 Explorer got an oil change about a month ago. The oil change guys indicated the transfer case is leaking a small amount. I put a piece of cardboard on the floor of our garage and it does indeed leak a small amount, perhaps 5-10 drops a day or so is my best estimate.

They recommended I find a local mechanic who can replace the transfer case gaskets/seals. Does this sound accurate, and if so, does anyone recommend a mechanic in the North Dallas area? Thanks a bunch and appreciate any comments/suggestions!
 






Alternate Question

The truck has 78k miles, we don't off road or use 4x4 at all.

Would it be an option to just disconnect the drive shaft leading to the transfer case? I hate to spend a huge chunk of money on something we never use.
 






Anyone have a suggestion? I need to take it into a shop this week and I'd just like to know my options and if I'm going to be screwed over or not.

Thanks again,
-Eric
