    Quick question: my T-case is wet (slow leak/weap) the Trans, however is bone dry. What would cause a slow leak either between the two or in the area?

    The fluid in question is gear oil so either the 5sp or T-case is the culprit.

    I changed out my driver side door lock cylinder on my '01. Been having to unlock the truck from the passenger side for couple years.

    Did the front blinker relocation mod - moved to running light housing. Went super smooth. bought a 1 5/8 hole saw, cut bulb tubes off of old blinker housings and squeezed them in the holes with a little rotary grinding. Sealed around edges using hot glue gun.

    Mine weeped gear oil too. Could not figure where it was coming from for quite a while. It was enough to coat the front side and bottom of the t-case but not enough to effect the fluid level.

    It turned out to be the front driveshaft output seal. Only found it when it started to actually leak enough to drip.

    Cut in back up lights on stock bumper. Word of advice: observe mounting bracket locations. I wanted to push the lights as far as possible to the outside and ended up doing a LOT of grinding and messing around. I put the 6 LED bars in this time. I think the 4 inch cubes worked out better on my old truck.
