The T-case and Trans have their own plugs and oil supply, so you
need to do each of them

My t-case was jumping out of 4 low, when I pulled the plug
to put in the 4.24:1 low range t-case gears I got about 6 oz
fluid, and it never looked like it was dripping, so I think it was
getting out thru the slip yoke and getting spun out onto the
body and ground. SO Always check your fluids, even if you don't
think there is a need

when I get under my zukes I look for two things....shinny parts and oily parts. the shinny means something is not right. there is something loose or broken. If you don't believe me then get under your rig. It's dirty under there and shinny parts don't exist.

As for oily well my zukes all leak somewhere so I've got to watch the fluids. I know from a leak or sprung a leak so I just watch for any changes.

When we've got a run planned I check the zuke 3-4 days before. it gives me a chance to do any work missed from the last outing. U-joints, shinny parts, oil leaks, tire pressure.
