ok guys…so the tcase im my 04 1500 went out, actually it exploded…the model of said tcase is 244D, 272 ratio which is what came factory…i have a tcase out of a 2005 2500 but the model is a 243D, 272 ratio…both is electric shift…will the tcase from the 2005 2500 work in my 2004 1500..?

 

supposedly one is AWD while the other is 4WD.

ok i see now, the 244d is AWD and the 243d is 2wd/4hi/4low….im needing a 244d transfer case…any online stores i could shop to get one?

 

Here's one for 200 bucks.....

 

im assuming like majority of parts this is interchangeable with various years and models, is that correct?

 

Should be, but, gotta be careful, Dodge/Ram is notorious for minor changes thru the years, that make them incompatible......

 

this is true, i just assumed that if the model and ratio was the same that it would work….what concerns me is that in the add that was previously sent it mentions durango and dakota, what im noticing is that those were not super popular in the 1500s….i just want to make sure that it will fit lol

 

Having looked into this for my 04 3/4 ton, you need to pay attention to the second line of numbers on the metal id tag. I was going to go with a vendor that rebuilds them, I can't remember the name - I think they were out of the middle north of usa... I didn't buy mine yet, they were pretty expensive and I just wasn't able to convince myself that a sub $100 jyard unit wouldn't be a wiser investment. Still thinking about it, but I'll likely go with the rebuilt one, I'm too busy to take that on.

 

No 2500 ever came with an AWD or full time 4x4 transfer case. A 2005 2500 would have an NV271 manual shift or an NV273 electronic shift transfer case. They won't work on a 1500 without some modifications.

 

Wasn't saying its the exact same thing as OP, just that for those types of tcases, the second row of numbers is important.
