So what I'm going to do tomorrow is this...I'm going to go take my can of Diaqueen with me when I pick up my car and ask him 1 more time whether he used this exact fluid..if he had any heisitation, I'm going to offer for him to use my fluid and change the t-case fluid on the spot...

^^ correct, I understand. I'm literally taking my Diaqueen LSD Gear oil with me and ask him to verify his can/jug/container for the exact same stuff.
I'm going to flat ask whether it's LSD Gear Oil or Multi-Gear Oil.
Also, you're pretty sure dealer's LSD Gear Oil are in the same can I use and not a drum?
What about the MR Multi-Gear oil at the dealer? Is that in drums or also in simliar looking cans?

Well, a got a call from the guys at the dealership today and got some ****ty news...they said unless he can prove that he had a stock clutch installed they won't fix it under warranty. Here is where **** gets weird, I started asking the guy a bunch of questions so I could give Jason the full low-down on the car and I think he lied to me. One thing I asked about was if the clutch install had anything to do with the transfercase...he said that what they did would not effect the t-case. I start reading up on installing a clutch and i'm not sure if this is true, but you have to either move or remove the transfercase to install the clutch. So in my eyes he lied to me because he knew what I was getting to (he even said that), maybe something happened during the clutch install to jack that case up. I'm pretty sure this is the same place that installed it too.
Here's my thought on it...I think they didn't do something right when that clutch went in. The car sat for a few weeks until I could get it over there so if the transfer case was all tore up, wouldn't it be leaking something?? Well, there wasn't a drop of anything on the ground from it and Kev said it was all dry when it took a ****.

I would drain the tc fluid and compare it to new diaqueen lsd fluid. If you wan you can put a few oz's in a bottle and **** it to me. Ill tell ya if they used the wrong stuff or not. 99% of the time when a clutch is swaped the tc is drained. SO chances are they filled it up with wrong stuff. pm me

Yes, there are many types of diaqueen. the one you need is LSD gear oil. It will say this in big letters on the can. If you dont use that then you get the symptoms you are refering to at about 500mile or 2 months.
