Welcome back to Project Old Grey, in which I fix up my dad's old 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500 5.3 V8 pickup truck. Today we encounter a pinhole leak in the transfer case. If I can fix it with JB Weld, I could save thousands of dollars (for now at least). Will it hold? I give it a try.

Full story on this truck here:    • Project Old Grey
