Thanks for the input on oil changes!
It seems that the oil monitor and 80% or 5K whichever comes first maybe a good rule of thumb!
To be honest, my current TV is a 1/2 Suburban 4WD and when towing and get an oil change I always get the rear transfer case checked at oil change. Several times it's been observed that the oil in the transfer case is either slightly low or a little dark. So this seems to be a good reason to go for the 5K
I'm hoping on the new TV a 1 ton 3500 4WD that I wont experience this heavy wear on the rear transfer case lubricant!.. any feedback?
