transfer cases:
Toyota transfer cases are almost bombproof but they do wear. More often than not the strange whine you hear once in a while is the idler shaft in the case. Every case with over 200K on it needs to be rebuilt. As long as it shifts from HI to LOW with no problem and you can live with the noise ignore it until you have a need to pull the tranny for a clutch job or motor swap. Once it is out the rebuild is not all that involved.
 
Rebuild include:

1. New bearings
2. New seals
3. New gaskets
4. New idler shaft
5. Case sandblasted and painted
6. Flanges checked for grooves on sealing surface
7. All gears checked

Normally the gears are fine and the bearings and shaft are bad. We check the case for any cracks or imperfections.

The case is filled with Mobil 1 80w-90 Synthetic Fluid.
