The transfer case in my truck has developed a leak - and on closer inspection It's got a hairline crack next to the tapered drain-plug that someone at some time has obviously over-tightened... It's certainly not happened whilst I've been owener - I know because I've never checked it (LOL) but anyway - it's cracked and started dribbling.

Cut a little sliver off with a stanley knife and see if you can set fire to it?

Mag ally is a lighter grey than ally, corodes and deteriorates more as well. LOL, its also lighter by weight. it bends better than ally, hit it with a hammer, if it breaks then its ally if it bends then its mag

Is it a ford F or a GM? It's a 1995 F-150... the trans is a ZF, the transfer case a BorgWarner - so no ford bits... On 17th Nov, 2014 Tom Fenton said:

no more nails! Nah, what you want for this job Dave is a big gob of plastic padding..... 
More seriously though Carl has a good point, even the tiniest trace of oil and you'd end up with a big mess.......

We have welded mag gearbox casings on our Arrows at work before. The bloke we had do it said it was a bugger to do but it saved us an awful lot of money on getting a new one cast up as they all used hewland internals but custom casings! £££££
