    700R4/241C leaking from vent?

    Well it is back in. I replaced the seal on the input of the transfer case only. I did put some (small amount) silicone sealant around the outside edge of the input flange and another bigger bead on the outside flange of the adapter to transfer case seat. It's filled with ATF and seems to be...

    700R4/241C leaking from vent?

    PrairieDrifter....It looks like the 700R4 is the same as the 350 as in no seal and intended drain back to transmission. I watched a small hole spew ATF while transmission was in gear which looks like it is intended to lube the speedo gear mechanism. T hanks for your update. It did not show on...

    700R4/241C leaking from vent?

    Apparently the transmission does NOT have a rear seal in a 4x4 application and the cavity in the adapter is wet from a intended squirting of AFT into it which drains back into the transmission pan. This would explain why the adapter was clear when I pulled the transfer case off. IF the transfer...

    700R4/241C leaking from vent?

    OK...another question before I do more then needed. I am seeing on another thready (Diesel Page) that there is NO seal at the back of a 700R4 trans in a 4x4 vehicle with a transfer case behind it. The seal in the front of the transfer case is to keep trans fluid out of the transfer case and...

    700R4/241C leaking from vent?

    Nobody's got any idea whats going on here? I started the engine and put the trans in drive with the transfer case out. I got a fine stream of ATF squirting thru the seal at about 11:00 so I know that the cavity inside the adapter is getting excess ATF. My confusing now lies in the fact that I...

    700R4/241C leaking from vent?

    I have a 1991 V1500 Suburban with a 350/700R4/241C. It appeared that the trans was leaking ATF but cleaned it all up and looked like it was coming from the top of the trans in the area of the transfer case vent. None coming out the tiny drain hole in the bell housing at all. So I opened the...

    700r4 output seal

    Guys, I have cleaned the engine, transmission and transfer case and run the vehicle again. The leak looks to be coming from the top of the engine and not inside the bell housing. I pulled the fill plug from the 241C transfer case and it looks like it is full to the top and not just to the...

    700r4 output seal

    Old post but I'm having trouble finding a resolution to my transmission leak and the vent issue discussed got my interest: I have a 1991 V1500 Suburban (4x4) with a 5.7, 700R4 and NV241 (I believe) transfer case. I have a serious leak that looks like it is coming from the top of the...

    18x8 33's on stock 91 Suburban

    I'm trying to update my wheels on my 1991 V1500 Suburban and the offset / backspacing info on the web has me confused. I got the following from a listing of factory GM wheels. It indicated that the rim has a positive 25mm offset.....ET25 under rim. From this post above it looks like my...

    Repair or replace radiator?

    So from what I am reading.....the radiator will go in with little or no trouble without changing any metal. The hoses will probably need to be changed to diesel hoses at rad install (i'm guessing because the diesel is wider then the gas rad?) Also when I change the engine to a diesel I will...

    Repair or replace radiator?

    Back to the radiator questions and related to my need for a new radiator. I have a 1991 V1500 with the 350 engine in it and need a new radiator. I want metal and preferably no aluminum. Can I install a 6.2 diesel radiator in this vehicle without any modifications except maybe the cradles to...

    Some Input on Roll Bars (show bars), brush guards and bug deflectors

    You could try a M1009 military brush guard like I am putting on my 91 Suburban. I am sure they are still around. This one took a lot of time to remove but it was not hard.

    Newbie trying to park this thing

    I've got a question regarding turning radius. I've read that the steering radius can be shortened a little by changing the steering box from a 4wd box to a 2wd box and install crossover steering. Any truth to this fact I don't know but am interested in finding out. Anyone know this info?

    Wheel Backspace question....

    Thanks for the info on the wheels. Any idea on the factory offset? I found a guy on the CK5 forum who has successfully installed H3 4-piston fixed calipers and rotors on a GM 10 bolt front axle. The mounting flange on the hubs were cut down so the rotors clear without removing the hub in the...

    Wheel Backspace question....

    Does anyone know the stock backspacing and offset for a 1991 Suburban V1500? From what I can find they look to be 4.5" backspacing and 0 mm offset but it seems everyone thinks its different then that. Anyone know. I'm about to go out and remove my spare and measure but it would be easier if...

    Prepping for 700r4 goodness

    Why would you hook the trans cooler in series with the radiator cooler? Inquiring minds want to know.

    Which aux trans cooler to get.

    I've heard that you totally bypass the transmission internal to radiator trans cooler for best results when installing this kind of auxiliary cooler. Is that correct?
