I picked up this hood today for $50. Has one small dent in the center ridge, which has access from the back. There are no other dents.
This will be stripped and painted to go on my ‘99.
Mine posted 17.5 mpg Highway right out of the crate. It’s in a K2500 Suburban which is much heavier than a truck. Performance is still great and pleased so far. I’ve put 2,500 miles on it so far.
What’s the update on this leak? Usually the input seal leaks, allowing the transfer case to over fill with ATF. Your getting splashed with ATF after removing the output seal could be a sign of leaking input seal. I know this guy who pulls and rebuilds transfer cases in less than a day.
