SOS strange rubbing metal noise near transfer case

https://youtube.com/shorts/W0TG5V7LhfM?si=OhFYKb4Yue5jOOQG


shifted in an out of 4wd everything works fine, drives normal, no lights on of any kind just this noise

 

When was the last time the transfer case was used ?

 

Used it last night i go down this straight road just to use the 4wd every month. Then i heard the noise today and before this but worse today. And then 5 minutes ago i put her in 4wd to test again everything seems fine except the noise is getting worse and worse

 

Mileage? Last time it had fluid changed ?

 

40k miles, transfer, both differentials were changed at 33k miles

 

Do you know the type of fluid used for the transfer case ? It is a specific amount (1.0L or 1.1 quart).

Some delaehsips have been known to not always do this correctly

 

I’ll have to check the paper but someone else said it kinda sounds like the heat shield rubbing the exhaust gona check tomorrow

 

that would be a good thing to check first for sure!

The screw is rusted out hopefully not too expensive to fix. Looks like we will be okay lol

 

Cheaper than a transfer case... Lucky dog.

 

Crisis averted

 

Literally counting my fucking blessings right now

 

Also can anyone tell me what part that is and if I can do it myself?

 

For anyone wondering 175 at the stealership for that fix. Seems decent enough dont have time to around everywhere to price compare
