i have a very simple question that i cant seem to find an answer too.
As you all know i have a 96 reg cab short box with a 408. (5.9 block) and an automatic (46rh i believe)......my question is this......will a transfer case from a 95 cummins 12valve Automatic work? it is the HD one i believe bc it has the pto cover and what-not. will it bolt to my trans? will the input or output shafts be diff sizes or spline counts? if it will work, it is a free transfer case to me from a friend........

 

Free? Grab it.

I think the differences between input shafts on the transfer cases was just the difference between if it was bolted to a manual, or automatic trans. So far as I know, for the autos, they are all exactly the same, regardless of weight of the truck.

Bear in mind, your case should be a 231, and that other case is going to probably be a 241dhd.... (I think) In any event, the 241 is going to be longer than the 231, so, you will have to do something about driveshafts as well. Got the shafts from the truck you got your axles from?

Also, if your trans is the same one that came with the truck, or at least, the same type, you should have the 46RE. (96 being the first year for them.)

 

no the RE wasnt till later, mine is still hydraulic not electronic.
no i dont have the driveshafts. this transfer case is just sitting in my buddies garage and asked me if i wanted it so i told him i would have to find out if it would work or not first
guess ill scratch that idea

 

My 96 has the RE.......

I think the only difference between the RE, and the RH, was the RE also had an electronic governor, as opposed to the mechanical of the RH. Both used solenoids for Overdrive, and TCC engagement. Your truck should be OBDII, which would mean you have the RE trans. Unless someone (you?) swapped it out, and reprogrammed the PCM to ignore the lack of input from the governor pressure transducer.

The T-case SHOULD bolt right up, however, I would take a look at over all length, and the relationship of just where the front output flange ends up, as compared to your 231. It is possible that you can just shorten the rear shaft, and be done with it. Output shaft is different spline count than 231 though.

Short answer is, No, it won't be a direct bolt in. There will be some modifications necessary to make it work.

 

hmmm, ow that you mention it i have to gree with you bc my truck def is obd2. i think im gonna take the t-case and do some further investigating with a tape measure and see what i can make happen. its free to me anyways

 

You certainly aren't going to find a better price.

 

in 2nd gen dodges

94-95rh

96+ 46re


get the t-case,,plus you learn how to drop it out and it will be easyer puting it in your if it will work

 

buddy i dont need to learn how to drop it out....id be just happy if i never had to do another one again, i built that truck of mine into what it is today, and and have replaced many motors, trannies, and transfer cases.(not in my truck alone)
