Note: this kit does not repair existing cracked housings — it prevents the rubbing condition that leads to future failures. Professional removal and disassembly of the transfer case is recommended for correct installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this kit stop pump rub and fluid loss?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit replaces and reinforces the pump housing interface and related seals so the pump no longer contacts the case in ways that can wear through material and cause leaks. It provides a stiffer, precision-fitted housing and improved gasket\/sealant materials to keep fluid contained under operating conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAluminum alloy pump housing for better rigidity and resistance to wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNew adapter gasket to restore a flat, even mating surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRTV silicone and blue threadlocker to secure fittings and seal joints.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eParts manufactured to OEM-equivalent specifications for correct fit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat parts are included and what is NOT included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DearChan 10001 kit comes as a complete upgrade assembly focused on the pump housing interface and sealing components, but it does not include the transfer case or the pump itself.

Assembly materials were selected to match OEM performance so the upgraded interface sustains normal operating loads and resists the modes that cause pump rub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAluminum alloy housing for strength and corrosion resistance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDurable gasket and sealant to maintain fluid containment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreadfixing glue (blue threadlocker) to secure fasteners against vibration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for: The DearChan 10001 Transfer Case Pump Upgrade Kit is made for DIY mechanics, professional technicians, and fleet maintenance shops addressing pump rub issues on compatible GM transfer cases. It’s ideal when you want a long-term prevention solution as part of a transfer case rebuild or pump replacement — especially for vehicles that have not suffered housing cracks. If your transfer case already has a cracked housing, this kit should be used during a proper repair to prevent repeat failure, not as a standalone fix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Does this kit fix a cracked transfer case housing?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. The kit prevents pump rub but does not repair cracks.
