but heres a question... Its ILLEGAL BY PENALTY OF ??? if you dont have a catalytic converter, correct? Is this something a stealership would report me for?

I've never heard of anyone getting reported by a dealership or shop for having off-road mods on their car. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Hell, call ahead and ask the service manager straight out!

I don't think I'd worry too much. Cabe keeps telling me my car is eligible for the xfer case recall and to come and get it done, and he knows the mods on my POS. I'm guessing I'll need to flatbed it in to get it done some Sunday afternoon this spring. :D

I realize service records will pull up a vehicle's history. The reason I'm asking is so I would know how to walk up to a T-case laying on a shop floor and know if it's from a car that was updated. Do they tag the T-case as "repaired under recall"? Is there a different casting number on the updated T-cases?
The part that is replace is the piece at the back of the t-case that hooks into the driveshaft. They can probably tell by looking at it if it has been done. I did the recall myself and just paid the $15 or whatever for the recall part. I figured that was better than screwing with a dealership.

How hard was doing the work yourself? Did it require removal and partial disassembly of the T case or what? How long did it take you?

s2kracka: Thats what I was planning on doing.

If you can remove the T-case you can do the recall. In fact, its not even part of the T-case, its the piece attached to the driveshaft that slides into the tcase. The defective part is a plug that keeps the oil in your tcase.

there are no markings on the t-case unless the mechanic takes it apon him self to do so.... the yoke style is a bit different but its hard to dicern just by LOOKING AT THEM... i beleive there is a diameter diffence to make sure the seal stays in contact longer with the yoke...

So basically if you have a car w/ an open recall you can shove any transfer case in it, but it will be a one shot deal... from what im getting now since the recall is so old..

So the transfer case recall is actually a yoke recall? My yoke is a leaky bastard. Do you keep the yokes in stock? Price?
