uninformed Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 hey all, Ill try and attach a picture. i have seen a sump for the LT230 transfer case that has a gear pump built into it, which i assume is for pumping oil around the box or mabye an oil cooler??? would be good to find out exactly what it is and who makes it cheers, Serg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uninformed Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 PTO....i dont think so. See the 2 pipe fittings on the bottom of the sump....Im thinking in/outlet fot oil cooler..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I'm pretty sure its for a cooler - i'm sure i've seen that pic on here before. I have considered doing something similar as a cheap way of adding cooling to my transmission to effectivley keep my overdrive cooler by dissipating heat from the transfer box. If anyone knows where the pump kit comes from i'd loke to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uninformed Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 yeah ok... you could so this instead? http://www.rockymountainspares.co.uk/rocky/images/52-zoomed.jpg Yep seen them, yes they do have "cooling fins" and yes they increase the oil cap....but cooling fins work better with air flowing over them....not alot of air moving in first low when most heat is being created...especially with 49% reduction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Maverik, lt95 would make sense due to their wide application and milatry use. btw im in Qld Australia and our summers do get hot which doesnt help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Why not use a 12v circulating pump to a cooler and just tap 2 pipe fittings into the t/box case , pick up at bottom of box and return at fill level? cheers Steveb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve b Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 .........well a quick google reveals 12v oil pumps £50 - £120 add another £100 for pipes and a cooler matrix, job done. And none of these pumps are Lucas There is usually more than one way to solve most things. cheers Steveb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
