I have a 1995 Dodge Cummins 2500 and currently finishing up a rebuild of the transmission. It is an automatic with the 47RH installed. I am not the original owner so do not know the full maintenance history but the current trans had been rebuild at some previous point. In checking out the transfer case I noticed the back plate has it listed at a NP231D. To the best of my knowledge the '95 2500's used the NP241DHD. Will this be an issue and should I find a new transfer case?

 

Hhhmmm.... that seems like a pretty lightweight t-case for a 2500. Given you have the diesel, I seriously doubt it is the light duty 2500..... So, yeah, should be at least the NP241D, if not the DHD...... (DHD has a slightly wider chain.)

If you are going to tow/haul with it, I would be considering finding the correct t-case.

 

Thank you, I'll start looking since its still up on the lift. Had me stumped for a moment.

 

This happened to me. I bought a Cummins and the PO tried to install a NV3500 from a 1500 with the 1500 transfer case

 

I'm trying to have a contact of mine at Chrysler pull up the original records by VIN to see just what's what with the rig.

 

Go here, feed it your VIN, and it will tell you.

 

Thanks will give it a try.
