85' K-5 Blazer 4WD Question

Sep 20, 2003 9 Replies

Currently I have automatic transmission fluid in my transfer case. This is what I was told to put in my transfer case. My father owned a 76' K-10 for many many years, and put hypoid grease in his transfer case, and believes that mine should use the same. Any clarification would be great. Thank ya much.


your transfer case takes ATF

his takes 80-90

yours is a 208

his is a 203 or 205

verstehen Sie ?

Aber braucht der 203 10-40?

Nein - das ist ruckwart. Ein 205 braucht 80-90, und ein 203 braucht 10-40. (as per my Haynes book). :-)

Yep. They rolled all over the floor too.....and the pain in the ass of getting the range selector gear back into place with it's shims.....but I managed to get it done without any real problems. :-)
