Do not directly power wash the transfer
case and/or front/rear axle output seals.
High pressure water can overcome the seals
and contaminate the fluid. Contaminated
fluid will decrease the life of the transfer
case and/or axles and should be replaced.
Sheet Metal Damage
If the vehicle is damaged and requires sheet
metal repair or replacement, make sure the
body repair shop applies anti-corrosion

restore corrosion protection.
Original manufacturer replacement parts will
provide the corrosion protection while

dealer to avoid corrosion. Larger areas of
finish damage can be corrected in your
dealer's body and paint shop.

surface. Refer to Finish Care previously in
this section.
