Am I right in understanding that the 4x4 t-case is a NV233HD and the AWD t-case is the NV244HD? If so it would be sweet to swap out an AWD transfercase in my dakota to have a 6sp manual 4.7 v8 awd truck.

 

Everything I see on the boards for 2nd gens says that the NV244HD is a direct swap for the NV233HD. The switch is supposedly wired the same as well.

 

It is probably the same hook up's mechanically, but the electronics are probably different. Although, is the AWD always in AWD?

And why aren't you just ripping out your 6spd manual and mailing it to me?

 

Yep, I want full time AWD. And no, I wont share my 6spd...

 

just keep it in 4-hi...and avoid turning on dry pavement...

 

Why would you want awd? Id volunteer to swap ya, but its my daily driver, and i dont have time to do that.

my truck has awd, 4 hi and 4 low. The AWD is always kicked in. It doesnt have a 2 hi option. I saw on a 4gen ram that it had 2 hi awd, 4 hi and 4 low. I would love a transfer case that has 2 low, 2 hi, awd, 4hi and 4low. (2 hi/2 low would like having 4.56 and 3.55 gears all in one, or something like that, but not quite geared as low as 4 low.) I, personally, would like to have part-time and unlock the front end when not using the 4x4.

 

I also have a 6 speed with 4wd. Is there a certain reason you want AWD? If this is a truck that only drives on pavement, then I can understand. If you do the least bit of wheelin', I would stick with the selectable t-case.

 

It is my daily driver and I spend hours on the road a day for work. Weather is pretty inclement a lot of the time here (except this winter was pretty timid), and I do use 4x4 on the road, but it's quite the pain to switch in and out all the time when pulling in somewhere. I also don't get out in the dirt like I used to, unless I am screwing around in my yard but it really isn't 'wheeling'. Finally, my old speed6 proved how awesome awd launches can be....

 

sell your truck.

turn in your man card.

buy a subaru.

 

Ouch.
