It's official... snowiest season on record at Alta. And, it's still coming down.



At least it's melting off my lawn in a day or two, but this is a current look at it building back up right now.

 

So I did my transfer case with mercon lv today and now I have an extra 3/4 of a quart left over...is it ok to use with the mercon v in the tranny? If so I figure I would just throw it in the truck box in case I'm ever low...

Old stuff was a milky tan color, almost off white...no red in it at all...

 

WOW!

It even came back for a second punch.

 

Where did you go, COS, and how technical are the trails you usually do?

 

I don't go on the hard trails (I'm not stupid). Yesterday was 300, 347, 327, and another I've forgotten. There's still enough snow up there to keep them interesting. There was a guy in a Land Cruiser with an autolocker in the rear that was having a hell of a time. At least I know not bother with one of those if I ever want to get anywhere in the snow.

 

Ford has a specific fluid for transfer cases. It's not trans fluid. If it was my truck, I'd drain it and put in the correct stuff. And no, I wouldn't mix Mercon IV and Mercon V.

Did you use low yet CO ? Great when need it.

 

Yes, extensively. At least five hours just yesterday.

 

Wouldn't use LV period in a gen 10.

 

Mannn, those things shouldn't be legal. That was definitely horrific.
