Magnesium actually on the NP261 and 263's that the HD's have. And that is not the issue.
DO NOT use loctite on the hardware, and BE SURE that only the correct coated bolts from GM have been used, otherwise it will create a galvanic reaction with the magnesium in the transfercase. This could also be part of his problem with the transfercase coming loose. I have never heard of this being a problem though.
Any bad u-joints causing vibrations and possibly loosening it up?
