[QUOTE="DILLARD000, post: 1050982, member: 74901"] "Just the facts, ma'am, just the facts." Joe Friday. After original Mercon ATF was discontinued back in the 2000s & MerconV was substitued for Mercon in Transmissions, confused\incomplete info was coming from Ford on what to use in 1354 TransferCases. Initial common "assumption" was MerconV could also be used; but many failure reports appeared after these were dealer serviced with MerconV. After reading on the issue ~10yrs ago, preference here for this 2001 model 1354 TCase became [URL='https://sharena21.springcm.com/Public/Document/18452/9e447451-fe75-e711-9c10-ac162d889bd3/3fa3136a-09bd-e711-9c12-ac162d889bd1']ValvoLine MaxLife MultiVehicle ATF[/URL], label rated for use where Mercon\MerconV\MerconLV is spec'd. Have not had a 1354 TCase problem excepting the notorious 4x4ShiftMotor & 4x4ConMod. Suggest any 1354 TCase owner, read+research this issue & make their own choice of ATF to use. Critical point for any TCase & vehicle generally: do maintenance & do NOT abuse the machine.. [MEDIA=youtube]F7gKtqkuhmU:14[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
