Covering all basis before I head out on the 20th. Couple How To's?

[MarkEkberg]

I am checking and changing things right now before I head out to FL in two weeks.

1. After 10K miles I seem to have wiped out another carrier bearing? Specific DS shop rebuild whole thing last time? Don't have press so I am sending that one out. Been chasing a vibration that cycles at 1 second in and out at 65. Hoping that is it.
2. Had to add about a qt to front and rear pumkin? No leaks anywhere on seals or input? Will have to keep an eye on it.
3. Transfer case oil is dark but full. If I have time I am going to change it.
4. 6 speed oil check? Is it the 17mm allen to check it? If so I can't budge that sucker.... And if so how does it hold 7-8 qts with that plug so low? What am I missing?

5. Going to grease front bearings through the ABS hole.
6. I have checked all pulleys and belt. I also have a spare going with me.
7. Has new WP in it recently.
8. 5th Wheel hitch is in (New to me). I pulled it apart and greased all the pins and locking mechs.
9. I actually vented the CCV extension that dumps into a bottle. Drilled holes in the top side of the bottle. Amazing, no more positive CCP......... Still feel stupid on that one, but previous owner set all that up.

I am sure I am forgetting something.......... Have spare fuel lines that like to break.

So I have hunted everywhere for a video of draining and filling the 6 speed. Cant find anything? I see there is a 17mm allen key but there is no way 8 qts will fit in there with it so low?

Any good links out there?

The bottom bolt on the pto cover is a drain. Once you drain it remove the covers and in the bottom of the trans. are 2 refrigerator magnets(at least mine did) clean them and check for any metal shavings.. I used red rtv to reseal the covers, then refill through the shifter tower (you will have to remove the shifter), Add one extra quart than what is called for.

Ended up filling from the top. Extra qt. all back together. waiting on drive shaft and its almost finished.
