2002 venture awd. The awd won't engage. As soon as the front tires slip the dash lights up awd disabled. If you put all 4 corners up on jack stands all 4 wheels turn. Sometimes just driving on a dry road it will disable the awd. I have flushed the fluids and it didn't help anything. Any ideas?
And at Nearly $500.00 from my local Chevy dealer, I decided to order on off Amazon at $320.00, OEM part supposedly too.
My question, the owners manual doesn't tell me what type of oil to use. I have heard on other forums that the rear diff(rear drive module RDM) takes Versatrak fluid. The only stuff I can find on Amazon says it's $32.00 per half qt I seen others complain that if they use RP Syncrho max that the RDM groans and grinds/ doesn't work very well. Is there an alternative fluid that works as well as the GM stuff, or am I stuck going to the dealer at $36.00/qt if I heard him right when I asked about that too. Also how much do I need, the owners manual doesn't tell me.
Also the owners manual tells me it needs replaced at 7500mi and then... Every 7500mi after that? That seems wrong considering I have 80k miles on this 02 Venture, and think I've only ever done the trans oil once.
The manual recommends checking and topping off the fluid at 12 month or oil change intervals. I don't see anything about draining it, but I would do it every 50,000 mi. Capacity is 2.1 quarts. I wouldn't use any other fluid.
