I did order the build sheet...but I just emailed dodge today. Been a little busy and kept forgeting to do it! But it is weird to me...If someone did swap the transfer case out they also did the computer and dash if I am not mistaken. Right? Cause I tested it out in some mud today and the dash lights up with the part time 4wd when I pull it down. And it does click back and forth.
That LSD Kicks serious A** though! It rained today and I was doing 10+foot burns in an old parking lot!

I'm getting lost here, why do you think all this was swapped out in the first place? You say you "pull it down" if you are talking about a manual floor 4X4 shifter then it is not a AWD T-case, the AWD is a NV244 case and is electronic.

Sorry but you are not making clear sense. Remember we are not there looking at what you are looking at. To describe something please describe it in full detail like a second grader would do. You have to paint a picture in our heads, or provide a picture. You are talking about various problems, lets hit on them one at a time and keep them separate. Please refrain from any street slang as we are not from your region so we can't keep up.

On the floor I have a shifter to go into 2H, 4Wpart time, 4Hi, N, 4Lo. I just got a build sheet and man! Lots of stuff here...but it still didn't say what I was looking for. I know it came with 4wheel abs now but this is what it said for transfer case:
DGTS 4-Spd. Automatic 46RE Transmission
DHAP Lock-Up Torque Converter
DHC Full-Time Transfer Case
Ill go out and get a pick of it now for you guys to know exactly what I am talking about...
Plus I know I have an lsd, and the 3.93 gears now. Which sucks to for me considering I have the 5.9L and never tow. Will these really kill my mpg at 65mph? I drive across the state of WA three or four times a year and need to know if I should start saving now for these trips...lol

You do NOT have a AWD transfer case. You have a NV242HD transfer case. This is a Part Time case. AWD was not available in the 1998-1999 models. The NV244 is the AWD transfer case and it is electronically controlled. Look in here about half way down under transfer case: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/1st-gen...wers-faqs.html

I used to get 15.8 MPG hwy at around 72 MPH, but mine was built and not stock.

Holy crap that posting was confusing...so 4pt is not good on any road surface? It says on my visor that 4pt is good on any road surface, wet or dry. And that 4ft is for very slippery conditions only...but the artical here:
https://dodgeforum.com/forum/1st-gen...-hi-awd-2.html
States that 4pt is only for extreme conditions and acts like 4lo...so which is it? What the visor says or what is said here?
