OOOPS!!! I was wrong. I always took that to mean the 42rh was the 727 and the 46rh was the 904 based on the order they listed things in that quote. Later in that article it says:
I'll correct my info in the previous post.
**EDIT** Ok, so the reason wikipedia says the 42rh is a 998, is because a 998 is a 904 built inside a 727, which is probably why the 42rh and 46rh are externally very similar!
Here is the full article: http://www.allpar.com/mopar/torqueflite.html
In 1989 and 1991, integral overdrives were added, resulting in the A-500 (based on the A-904) and the A-518 (based on the A-727). According to Rick, the engine computer controlled the electric overdrive unit built into the extension housing.

does not matter about any other number. everything dodge has is based on the 727. that includes the 902. that 727 three speed was a bi--ch! take my word for it, i saw it in action in the early 80's.
sorry slt but pushing a button is not going to give you a 727.

Yes it will, but you might need custom driveshafts made for the change in length.

just read the haynes manual for a dakota. it has pictures for new process 207, 231 and 241 for the dakota. i think if you put a 241 in you should be able to get a driveshaft of a dak that has that transfer case.
they all look the same, what is the difference? (i'm guessing the 241 is heavy duty).

The cases are all very similar. It's the internals that are different. I have a np242 (all wheel drive) transfer case in my truck, which is like the 241 but includes a differential between the front and rear axles.
I never knew they put a 241 in a dakota. But assuming that haynes manual has it right, it would have to be the same wheelbase and have the same transmission for the driveshaft to work.

awesome, i need to use the ram t case as im 99% sure the differential drop is on the other side. custom axles arent a big deal, i can get them made/balanced locally.
my haynes has the 241 listed, but shows it as being the drives side diff drop....?
wiki says the 241 was used in all the 2500 rams with a v8. the smaller ones in the 1500s and smaller
