2016 Chevy Equinox V6 3.6L AWD Transfer Case Replacement 

Awesome. If it’s a V6, watch for it to start burning oil around 105-115k miles. It’s not a problem as long as you keep topping off the oil.

Believe me, I was thinking that the entire time. I would not have done it back in the old driveway days.

I don’t know, sorry, wish I did. My wild guess would be transfer case or transmission or diff.

Thanks for watching!

You can get one at the parts counter at your local GM dealer or at one of the many online GM parts websites (which are dealers). Or, if you want a used/rebuilt one you could check these places: 1. Car-part.com (database of most salvage yards in the US 2. A rebuilt one on eBay. They also have new replacement non-GM units made in China for sale on eBay and Amazon. Whatever you do. Update us on your experience good or bad. This transfer case is a bad design that explodes at 80k-120k miles if you don’t change the fluid. I went with a new GM unit because I felt confident it would give me another 80-120k.

Essential. Any time you can pay money to prevent back pain it’s a good trade.

eBay is going to be your cheapest option. I bought a new one from GM for about twice the eBay price. I think I paid about $1200.

Take this to your local dealer and ask them to price match: www.gmpartsdirect.com/oem-parts/gm-case-replaces-part-number-23247710-84953427?c=Zz10cmFuc2Zlci1jYXNlJnM9dHJhbnNmZXItY2FzZSZsPTEmbj1Bc3NlbWJsaWVzIFBhZ2UmYT1jaGV2cm9sZXQmbz1lcXVpbm94Jnk9MjAxNiZ0PWx0eiZlPTMtNmwtdjYtZ2Fz They only want $85 shipping on that website so it would be cheaper than $1500 to have them ship it.

My local dealer Davis Moore Chevrolet treats people very, very well on parts and car purchases. I cannot say enough about them, I think they may be the best Chevy dealer in the country.

Imagine doing all that but with jacks stands with only 2 feet in the air and u doing everything on your bck those lifts are life savers ....

Sorry man!

I don’t remember and I already sent it to the scrap yard. The OEM units were noticeably different from the eBay Chinese units.

Depends on what your experience level. It’s a difficult repair with a lift. Even more difficult without one. It cost me $1200 and a weekend if my time to fix it with a brand new transfer case from GM. You could do it for only $750 if you used a Chinese unit off eBay. If you apply my normal hourly rate at my day job, it cost me more than $3799 to do the repair when you count my time, but I like doing this stuff and I know it’s done right and I got to make a RU-vid video out of it. $3799 would be a $1200 part plus 14 hours of work at $185 an hour. It’s not a 14 hour job for a professional, and $185 is a pretty standard dealer rate. That sounds pretty steep to me, but I don’t think you’ll find anywhere else to do it for less than $2799

@@RecordsRebuilds Thank you! Found another dealer to do it for $3000. Going with that! Unfortunately, I'm not that handy with cars.
