True. And for this reason I always break **** HAHA Funny thing is, this is also how I end up with bullet proof parts on my cars. When they break I put in something better To the OP its up to you to asses the risk.

 

well apparently whatever is broke in the rear is broke enough to not matter lol..like i said, i drove it like 15 miles home from when it blew up, and then today i made a few trips no problem..I didnt pull the shaft out since it was dark by the time i got home from work..but ya it will be parked until i get it fixed..the tcase is already sloppy and the front output moves up and down..has 190k on is lol..thats the next thing on the list and then everything in the truck has been replaced..but thanks for the help..just curious, how come the driveshaft yoke is bone dry of oil when ive pulled it before if i would lose tcase fluid?

 

It shouldn't be. It may not leak fluid sitting still on flat ground but the yoke should show signs of fluid when you pull it out. Once the driveline starts spinning you should expect to start losing fluid. Is the T-case filled to spec?

 

Because moving parts, and a moving vehicle, will slosh the oil around while you're driving. And it will come out.

Why do you think GM put a seal there? To keep the oil inside the transfer case.

 

well thats what i figued, with the seal there, it should come out..ive pulled a tcase before and it didnt pour out the back of it. I grease the yoke once a month because of clunk, wouldnt that all mix together? either way, its not moving now so no worries
