Ya I figured. What would you suggest the NP231, Np241LD or NP 241HD or another case?

If you have the NP241LD stick with it. It's a great transfercase. You don't need the HD. Just make sure you install a transfercase saver ring, it'll save you a disaster later.

yes the 241DLD is stronger than a 231. From dodgeram.org:

The NV231HD, used in the 1994+ Ram with V6 and V8 engines, features larger bearings and a wider chain than the NV231. All versions of the 231 cases use three gears in the planetary reduction set.
The NV241 is essentially a NV231HD with six gears in the planetary set.
The NV241D is a heavier duty Dodge version of the 241, with a larger input shaft and larger bearings to withstand the torque of the V10 and diesel engines.


Somewhere I read that the 241 series used a different case as well. I have not confirmed that though.

For future reference Mr. aofarrell2, 231 on the left 241DLD on the right. The nv241 is out of an 95 auto 2500.

Thanks for the pic Merc.

I didn't realize the difference in size there. I've got a 241DLD but never sat it side by side with my 231.
