ok I have a 97 1500 5.9 auto 4x4 and the chain is slipping can i use a t-case out of a 5.2 5 speed 1500 ?

 

what year?

 

i beleive you'll need a '96 or '97

 

the truck it came out of was a 97 but it looks like it has a elc speedo I thought mine was a cable drive.... mine is a canada export

 

nope yours has a VSS just like the one you want to swap with. should bolt right up, no problems

 

actually.....my truck is a 95, and i just changed my t-case, and the case i swapped it with is apparently a 97 from the records i recieved, and i have no problems....

 

i pulled one out of a flooded 2001 for thirty bucks and all i had to do was swap the internal shifting plate took maybe 30 minutes and i got a chance to check everything out on the inside and make sure she was ok. but any t-case 97 and earlier will bolt right up. but if your gonna jerk the t-case you might as well just swap to a 241 out of a 3/4 ton or a 1 ton they are built alot better and come with a six pinion planetary instead of a wimpy 3 pinion in the 231. the 241 as a whole is way stronger and will bolt right up with no issues.

 

241 is longer is it not? Giving some issues on driveshaft fitment? Not to mention output spline count?

 

nope out put spline count is the exact sam and length is the exact same ive got a spare 231 and 241 sitting in my shop right now i can measure.

 

OOoooooo, that would be nice if it was a direct swap. Would be a great upgrade for the half tons.
