Found out I been driving it in 4hi since I bought it and is stuck there. Front axle not engaging. How hard is It to rebuild a transfer case or should I try to find and put one in? A new case is probably more than I payed for the truck. Any info is great

 

Unless you're a professional mechanic, too hard. Get a good used one from Ebay for around $300 plus shipping. A bunch of them come with a 3 to 12 month warranty.

If you got a seal puller it's really not that bad apparently. These t-cases are pretty simple. Plenty of write ups on the interwebs too

 

Thanks . I might sound dumb but is there any other transfer cases than the np231 I think is in it.. or can I put the np231j in there.. it for a jeep i think

 

I rebuilt the Borg-Werner unit in my 77 Jeep Wagoneer with the 401 and 400 Turbo trans and it was unfun and I am(was) a professional mechanic and would seriously discourage someone not accustomed to such things as measuring lash and adjustments of gears and bearing clearance to avoid it. It ain't easy unless you're just throwing new parts in and hoping somehow it all just gets right the first time.

 

231J may have different spline counts, depending on year.

231d or 231dhd will bolt right in, and hook right up.

 

Anyone know where I can find a list of compatable vehicles.. so I can hopefully go pull one

 

Pretty much any second gen dodge ram 1500/dakota will have the same case.
