No it’s blood, really!
Yep it does for now but not sure for how long though, what’s your thoughts on this Ryan? I’d read that GM (and Dodge?) ran ATF towards the end of production apparently to help with gas mileage. The 1987 Chevrolet Light Duty Truck Unit Repair Manual does call for Dex II for all transfer cases including the 205. The 1984 GMC Light Duty Trucks Service Manual says to see the owner’s manual? Ha, now that’s a mystery as I don’t have one of those.
Also something about it being a good idea behind an automatic in the event of seal failure between the two. Kind of interesting stuff, my thoughts were if I could get ours to hold the thin weight oil it could surely hold the thicker stuff like a champ!
Got most of the original paint stripped and started the repair work.
