Re: How (not) to blow up a transfer case

Well I finally got it all put back together tonight...  It was actually quite funny because I rebuilt it in the elevator lobby of my dorm building.  Soon the rumor that I was building "an engine or something" circulated and I had several spectators in no time.  

So tomorrow I will throw it in the truck and hope that everything is correct.  I still need to wash out some metal shavings...  I did my best to wipe them out, and run a magnet over everything, but there are still some in there.  I was thinking I might throw motor oil in the case, and crawl around for a short distance then drain it out, then put cheap gear oil in, drive for 20 miles, drain it out, and then put in the good stuff.  Does this sound good?
