This critical enhancement ensures the longevity and reliability of your vehicle's transfer case, protecting it from potential damage and costly repairs. This kit is compatible with GM transfer cases 261XHD (Manual Shift) and 263XHD (Electronic Shift). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Pump Rub?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGM transfer cases feature a pump cover inside the case, driven by the main shaft. This pump circulates oil to the planetary gears and the drive sprocket sleeve. Since the pump is shaft-driven, its housing must \"float\" within the rear housing, guided by five tabs that fit into designated spots. Over time, the pump can wear against the rear housing. GM installed a spring steel clip in the housing to prevent this wear, but the clip can break and become ineffective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the pump housing is made of Magnesium, which is a soft metal, it can eventually wear a hole in the rear housing, causing a small leak. This leak typically occurs high enough in the case that it won't be noticeable when the vehicle is stationary, leaving no drops on the ground. Often, the issue is only discovered after the transfer case sustains damage from running out of fluid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid costly repairs to your transfer case by preventing the pump rub issue before it happens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Prevent Pump Rub\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePump Rub is preventable if you catch it early enough. There are a few paths that you can navigate when addressing this common issue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first is to upgrade the GM internal pump cover using DmaxStore's Transfer Case Upgrade Kit. Within this kit, we have machined our own Billet T6-6061 Aluminum pump cover with a far superior design than any OEM replacement. DmaxStore took note of the thin OEM tangs on the stock pump cover and designed one that has much larger tangs. For reference, the width of the OEM tangs is approximately 2.1mm, and the DmaxStore replacement pump cover has tangs that are 15.24mm. This design ensures that there are no cutting patterns in the transfer case when it is operational since there is more surface area being covered within the pump cover housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second way to fix this issue is to replace the back half of the transfer case. There will come a point when the damage to the transfer is too severe, and the only option is to replace it. Fortunately, we offer our\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline\"\u003eDmax XD Rear Transfer Case Housing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is constructed of Aluminum, a much stronger metal than magnesium. If you decide to pursue this option, you are only upgrading the back half of the transfer case to sustain the harsh vibrations of the stock pump cover. Don't worry, it can take it. It is also important to note that if you upgrade the back half of the transfer case, there is no need to opt for the DmaxStore Transfer Case Upgrade Kit because our pump cover is intended to be a fix for the magnesium housing. However, if you truly want to upgrade to the Aluminum back half and use the DmaxStore pump cover you absolutely can.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, the most costly option is to replace the entire transfer case. This tends to happen only when there is too much damage sustained to the transfer case from being operated with suboptimal fluid levels. If you need a full transfer case, we also offer our \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDMAX XD Remanufactured Transfer Case\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e. This is a last resort as there is no saving the internals of the transfer case. So, look at your transfer case today and determine if you have pump rub. Whether you do or not, acting fast is important to save time and money. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrevents Pump Rub Issue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComes as a complete kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT6-6061 Aluminum Construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the Kit\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDmaxstore billet transfer case pump housing \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransfer case adapter gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRTV Silicone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional Add Ons \n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(#\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRANSYND688\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e) - 1 Gallon of Transynd Transmission Fluid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(#\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline\"\u003eXD-2049\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e) - DMAX XD Transfer Case Rear Output Shaft Seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(#\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial\"\u003e12478093\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e) - GM Transfer Case Rear Output Shaft Seal\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2001-2007 transfer cases hold 2 quarts of Transynd Synthetic Transmission Fluid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you already have a hole in your case, it's recommended to install a new rear housing for proper repair.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecialty lock ring pliers required to disassemble rear transfer case housing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003ciframe height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1-ONlJYDhwk?si=C4GuKl4exJz-AuQm\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/N3SeWrSzc74\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DmaxStore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48624357408925,"sku":"10001","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/2504\/1821\/files\/10001_2a1f177a-910f-44e0-bdc5-6bc9944bc8d0.png?v=1783602681","url":"https:\/\/rudysdiesel.com\/products\/transfer-case-upgrade-kit-pump-rub-fix","provider":"Rudy's Performance Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
