Transfer Case broke....Replacing with Atlas
Driving down highway at about 65, all of a sudden got a nice loud vibration from under the JK. Immediately pulled over and looked underneath....Fluid pouring from my transfer case.
So The t-case needs replaced and I am going with an Atlas 2-speed 4.3:1 ratio.
Anyone running one of these?

The guy I took it to said something about a bearing in the case locking up.
I do have Tom woods driveshafts.
Whether it was the driveshaft or the case, couldnt tell.

This seems kind of odd because isn't this the same transfer case thats in the Ram 3500 HD with towing package etc? One would think if it could handle the stress of such a heavy truck towing a fifth wheel it should be able to handle a JK with bigger tires...

They are stating to fail because most of the after market shafts dont reuse the factory dust covers or present a new one, therefore dirt is getting into the bearing and causing failure.
I have both front and rear after market shafts from two different companies and both did NOT come with replcement dust covers. I could not reuse the factory ones becuase they didnt fit. So it is just a matter of time before mine goes.
We are just starting to see the begining of a new problem that was overlooked with the instalation of after market driveshafts. Poor design from the aftermarket driveshaft makers becuase they wanted to get their product out on the street before the other guy.
