Default My 2001 has a NP241DHD transfer case in it?????

Yupp, just as my title says. My 2001 Ram 2500 has a NP241DHd transfer case. Isn't it suppose to be a NV241HD??

From what I can find the NP was in the 94-97 ram 2500 and 3500's. The Shift patterns are different so the stock linkage wouldn't have worked??

Whats going on here? This its been change before I got it and why??

I need to either rebuild or replace and if so, I should replace with the NP just to save myself any headaches correct?

Aren't they the same? New Process Gear became part of the New Venture Gear in 1990's. My '95 t-case clearly says NV241 on it's tag.

That;s right... LEave it alone if it works.... New Process (NP) and New Venture (NV) are one and the same... ALbeit yours prolly has been changed sometime, cause the name changed around '95 I think...

yeah, I have to replace or rebuild.

Don't really want to put a 241 DLD out of a 1500 in it as the 2500 and the DHD go hand in hand.

I found a rebuild kit from Yukon (at summit racing) for around $140. How hard should this be to do el solo? Never done one before?

1500's use a 231 not a 241.

Being 2500 doesn't mean it has DHD. I have DLD on mine even though it has a Cummins on it. DHD was an option on 2500, and on 3500 models it became standard on '98.

My '95 2500 also has a DLD 241. New Venture and New Process are the same thing.
