[QUOTE="Ruger, post: 1436940, member: 1594"] Yesterday I took the opportunity to change out the Mercon LV fluid in my new transfer case after only 250 miles. Son of a gun, I found several things of interest. First, I found that the mechanic at the Ford dealership failed to fully tighten the magnetic drain plug she swapped from my original transfer case to the new one. It spun off pretty freely. She didn't use Teflon tape on the threads, either. Caught the leak in time. Second and more importantly, I found a fairly decent coating of fine metallic particles on the magnetic drain plug after only 250 miles. I knew I'd find some - everything has a break-in period - but there was quite a bit more than I expected after only 250 miles. I'm glad I swapped out the fluid so early (the transfer case only uses 50 ounces - just over a quart and a half), and very glad I have magnetic plugs in the transfer case and both differentials.
