I've changed the gear oil on the transfer case and its...

transfer case drain

Where is the transfer case fill plug....I can see the drain plug on the bottom and another on the side by the bottom...So if TM says fill with 5 pints where is that fill point or do you need a pump to attach to the side plug? None of the pics show a location.....

Rear engine mounting bolts

How long are the rear engine bolts? In the manual it shows that they are made for cotter pin and castle nut.....can they be found easy at big box stores and are they grade 8?

Couple things.....How much does a later year REAR harness go for?
