Finally got around to doing the transfer case fluid, yay! More progress! Like the transmission the fluid was a burnt brown color. New fluid should help it along.

I also changed the transmission drain plug gasket back to a copper crush washer. I tried one of those cool bolts with the rubber around the base, it leaked. No issues with the crush washers, even if I have to change them every time I remove the bolt.

Also got the windshield washers working, sort of. More than a few leaks are present. I think I am just going to have to swap out all of the old lines. Even the washer fluid reservoir leaked. Add that to my to-do list. Sighhhh ...

I have also identified my groaning noise. Apparently it is coming from 1 or both differentials. I was planning a fluid change anyway, so that will probably be next. Still need to the engine oil and spark plugs, belt, should probably do the timing belt at some point.

Anyway, progress continues....
