I have a 1995 Dakota with the 3.9L 5 speed, 4x4 with the np231 transfer case in it. It has some MASSIVE chain slop in it, and it sounds like its about to blow up.

I found another np231 transfer case from a 1994 Jeep wrangler 4.0L.

WILL THE JEEP np231 transfer case work?

 

No it will not. Yours is a NP231D D is for Dodge. The Jeep will have a J at the end. It is not the same transfercase.

 

son of a bitch... any more information on finding one or a rebuild kit?

 

www.napaonline.com may have a rebuild kit. If not then http://www.drivetrain.com/

 

what noise does it make? I think I may have the same issue with mine.... ugh

 

you can use the jeep transfercase but will need to swap the input shafts...

 

The J t-fer cases are punk-a$$ junk...not worth it to swap the input shafts. Hit the bone yards for a rebuildable replacement or rebuild your own...unless it has a big exit wound.

 

I don't think that they are junk the one in my jeep works just fine has most likily seen more rocks than you. The 231 in my dakota works fine to,maybe the user sucks?lol

 

It works fine cause it's in your Jeep...and at 52 years I've forgotten more rocks than your Jeep will ever see. Use the NP231-D in a dodge and you won't be disappointed. For the time/effort spent sourcing and swapping shafts, you can rebuild your Dodge t-case.

 

unless you already inspected it, chances are it already has a hole in it from the chain rotating. my cousin bought a durango with a bad transfer case and drove it for 3yrs with a huge hole in it before he took it in...needless to say, he'll never ignore us again when it come to sounds from his car..lol
