quick question: do the divorced 203 and 205 transfer cases mount the same way? i am guessing they do not
if not, i'm looking to swap a 205 for a 203 in a 75 f250, what does this take?
thanks

 

ok question for you why do you want to replace a 205 with a 203 203 is weaker than the 205

 

Yes, the NP205 is definitely stronger By the way, what do you mean by "divorced"? Never heard that term used to describe a transfer case before...

 

sorry about that, i should have been more clear. i meant to say i want to swap in a 205 for a 203 meaning i will be taking out the 203 and putting in a 205.
"divorced" means that the transfer case is not mated directly to the transmission but is instead connected via a driveshaft.

 

nice, I learnd something new today Thank you, lilpig88!

 

no problem, if anyone knows, i still need to know if a 203 and 205 (both divorced) are mounted the same or if i will need to fabricate something and change driveshaft lengths if i do this swap (203 out/205 in)
thanks

 

anybody? i just need to know if an np203 and np205 (both divorced) are mounted the same way...will one swap in for the other?
thanks for reading

 

sorry yea they bolt the same way ones just chain one is gear

 

hey thanks a lot for the great news...drive shaft lengths can remain the same too?
another question, can i put locking hubs in the 44hd front axle (closed knuckle) that's in the '75 3/4 ton?

 

drive shafts will work unless you lift it to the point youll need to extend it im not sure about the hub question but i dont see why you wouldnt be able to is it currently full time 4x4 and your tryin to change it to part time?

 

you are correct, i am going to part time from full time. i just asked about the front hubs because i've read that some full time axles were not able to be changed over. i find this hard to believe as it is not usually difficult to put a set of hubs in an axle, but i figured i'd ask for sure b/4 i start tearing into it if some of these axles (44hd closed knuckle) were unable to have locking hubs.
thanks again for your help
