hello everyone i have a 00 gmc 4x4, i have the notorious problem of the tranfer case springing a hole in it and the front drive shaft has play and hear a little pop once in awhile. Question here is can i take out that drive shaft and not get the pop sound anymore or not? I would like to put a new transfer case in it in the near future but money doesnt allow it at the moment, a little JB weld over it at the moment is my bandaid. Has anyone else experienced this problem. Please inform me of everything you know. Thanks guys - Ted
 
Is the truck in 4wd,making a tight turn when you hear the pop? In 2 wheel,the shaft won't spin.

As far as the t-case,this was discussed a few days ago in Tool Talk.The oil pump in the transfer case is wearing holes in the case from the pump moving around.The case needs to come out and disassembled to repair the holes and install GM's fix which is to install small clips to secure the pump or a better fix which is to install a plate behind the pump.

I've repaired a handfull using the plate which I picked up from Kennedy Diesel.They also sell plate kits which has all the stuff you need to do the repair(plate,sealant,gasket,etc).Not a bad job at all,but for your first one,you should pick up a service manual as there are a few tricky procedures.

I've seen plenty of them with the holes and patched JB weld. You don't need a new transfer case if you haven't let it get too low on fluid. I have changed out many rear case halves installing new ones that have the metal clip in them.
Just pull the case, split it and it will be obvious if it's repairable or not. To split the case, pull all the bolts and make sure you remove the rubber plug on top of the rear output shaft and spread the snap ring. The case halves seal with RTV.
 
no it's the front drive shaft going from the transfer case i believe. It has a lot of slop on it so i suppose it was ran low on fluid and i just need a new transfer case i don't know...i just picked this truck up not too long ago and thought it was just a seal leaking....boy was i wrong
