I'm Wondering what the difference between the Np 231 D for a dodge ram vs The dakotas NP 231 D is?

I cant find a 231 D Dakota Transfer case; But i did find 1 for a the same year dodge ram. Im wondering what i would all need to change over so it would work for my Dakota? Or can it even be Done?

Please Help

Thanks Fortheluvofdakotas

So the output shat is different to the Rear drive shat! My thought to fix that is inner change the Ram Yoke that should be easy; is it gonna change the Balance of the shaft.

Ty for the response im gonna check the Input shat but my guess is it wont. Maybe a little more research..

 

It should work, just make sure it's bolted up to the same kind of tranny you have cause the input shafts could be different.

 

i have a 2000 dakota and the chain was stretched i need a new one does anyone have an idea were i can get one


thanks for any feed back

 

You can check local junkyards, your local craigslist, ebay, or if you want to spend the money for a new or freshly rebuilt one, you can look at a good transmission and transfer case distributor like drivetrain.com.

You'll want to look for one off a Dakota or Ram. The Jeep, Chevy, and Ford versions of the transfer case are all different.

Also, for future reference, your 2000 is a 2nd gen, so you should post in the 2nd gen subforum.

 

I have a problem with my T-case as well. I've been told by the stealership, and a couple of local trans shops that my T-case is a Dakota only unit. I've decided to just get mine rebuilt.

 

Lol, a 231D is a 231D is a 231D... it honestly doesn't matter what it came out of. There are minor differences in input and output shafts, but those can easily be swapped between cases.

 

I ended up using a 1994 Ram 231D the only difference was the yoke that went too the 4 wheel drive shaft.. Easy 2 bolt swap paid $100 for the used case on Craigslist havent had a problem with it...

 

A 231 D is A 231 D the only thing that i found diff. is the out put shaft on the 1500s are bigger. the sfitches and sencors should iner change haven gotten that far yet still gota get a tranny

 

Will a 96 1500 tranny work in a 94 Dakota. And what tranny should b in the Dakota iv herd 518 904?? 727 OD i dont know

 

I have a 92 dodge 4x4 trying to find easy way tto fill without haveing to remove it. Tried to put a hose on trans oil bottle to make ease of filling but it just wants to pour back out the fill orfice any help would be great
