Truck Repair: Gear lubrication, gear lubrication, coorelation


Question
I have a 302 transfere case in a 1978 Blazer and get multiple answers as to what gear lube to use. It has a Mile-Marker 2x4 shift kit installed. Thank you for your time.

Answer
I'll bet you do. Somewhere in that ere, they started using Dexron ATF in transfer cases, where prior to then 80-90 gear oil was used.
If the owners manual is available, it should say.
From my experience, the first ATF I saw in one was the first aluminum case I saw. Before that, cast iron cases, and EP-90 oil, although I don't know if there is a coorelation.
