Hey guys I moved thi sthread to here I had posted in wrong forum. I had the Titan in 4 wheel drive on highway a month or so ago. For about an hour maybe hour and a half.
The snow cover was pretty sparse and maybe I should not have used 4 wheel that long.
It was hard to get out of 4 wheel drive.

Today it grinded for 5 seconds or so when I went to flip it on and I am not sure it engaged.
It was slick. I eventually stopped and engaged 4 low which I still didn't work. I read all the diff issues. What do you guys think?

I have no idea what I am looking at so I crawled underneath and took a bunch of pics.

You got a bad seal on the transfer case and its leaking all the fluid out. If i was you i would get it into a trans shop and have the seal replaced ASAP...

I gotta get up under this thing and figure this out.
How can I tell if I am low on fluid in transfer case, low on fluid in differential, pop out a a c-clip , axle popped out of differential?

I don't know too much of what I am looking at so I guess tomorrow I will get the drive train schematic with part numbers and get part names from Nissan COurtesy filled in so I know what I am looking at and start from there.

Since it is obvious that it is leaking, unless you've added fluid, it is low. How low is the question. First thing I would do is drain the fluid. Measure it if you can, and inspect the fluid for color and debris.

Your axle shaft looks like it has popped out on the 2nd to the last picture.

 

[ChrisTitan'05]

yea, thats your problem, get that axle shaft back in the transfer case asap and change the fluid.

Thanks guys. I took it to my brother in law/mechanic. He popped it back and flushed/filled some fluid and I am good as new.

The help here is always spot on. Very nice to have a website like this.
