Probably the NV231D. Should be fairly common, as they were used in the half ton trucks as well. Keep in mind, you will want one from a 98 or newer truck, as quite a bit changed between 97 and 98.

I’d get the bigger yoke and a bastard ujoint to run the 241. Especially since you’ve already gone to the trouble of buying and putting it in. Its a good bit stronger case...

Auto t-cases won't fit behind a manual, because they have a slightly longer input shaft, but manuals will be fine behind an auto. Either way, you could just swap the input from your original case to any dodge 231/241 and be safe.

Can i take a 231 and change chat a 241 with the speed sensor not being used

I think there are differences in length between the two, won't matter for the front driveshaft, will matter for the rear.

Are you sure as every manual I have taken apart has a longer shaft and I've never seen an automatic with a long shaft only manuals auto transfer case will work in either truck manual or automatic but I don't think the manual transfer case will fit an automatic
