Question

to fix it. should i do that or trade it in with the transfer case ruined? the trucks in really good condition..i dont know if it would be worth it to fix and then trade it or just trade it as is. what do you think is the best answer to this problem?

Answer 1

If you intend to keep it for more than two more years, fix it.
If you don't want to keep it, don't fix it.

You won't recoup the cost of repairs in trade in value.
