T-case filled with grease not oil, axle grease or ball joint grease WTF!?!?

Well i took it off to upgrade my trans and the ####ing t case is full of grease.

Anyone heard of such a thing?

I looked everything over and no metal shavings or teeth where present or damage was obvious.

Works fine and still ran good but i want to know WTF!?!

Any some one can help.

This is for a 95

You need to open it up and look for signs of heat damage to the gear teeth. Flush it out, and re-fill with proper lube.

Old lubricant, probably never changed.

Looks like it got water in the gear oil and was ran like that for a while. I've saw this before when I used to play with big 4x4's.

^ ^ ^ Bingo. That's not grease, that's water contamination.

Nope not rust aluminum does not rust all it is is the charred remains of the grease that was used.


All of it flakes off but under neath it is just warped metal from heat.

Ew. You sure it's not 1 million miles year old oil?

That seriously looks like water damaged gear oil that has been driven on for a couple of years.

 

[Defiant]

Yeh. We tried telling him that.

The bevel gear is steel and your oil was gear oil not grease, doesn't that remind you of a BHG when water mixes with
oil?
