40K Miles – Transfer case fluid change and tire rotation.

By Geoff

We had a warm day about a week and a half ago, so I took advantage of it and changed out the fluid in the transfer case, using the stuff I bought for the purpose last summer.  I also rotated the tires on this same day, after noticing that the driver’s side tires were 3/32nds of an inch more worn than the passenger side.  I rotated the spare onto the driver’s side rear, and swapped the two front tires for each other, leaving the passenger side rear tire where it was.  Hopefully this will cure the odd “slewing” of the vehicle to the left in the snow that I noticed during our first big snow storm.

The only maintenance left to do for now is a trans fluid change, as well as the 6K-interval oil change that I’ve decided to go with.  I already have the trans fluid and both filters; I just need another warm, dry day…
