Transfer case questions
Just bought a f250 this year which replaced my Jeep. The Jeep had a full time transfer case, well to be clear it allowed 2WD, fulltime 4WD, 4H, and 4L. I really liked the fulltime 4WD. Was a nice feature to have. I of course miss it and have been compteplating if it would be possible to outfit my F250 with a similar transfer case. The jeep case would of course not work in a heavy duty application.
Does anyone know if such a case exists aftermarket or via a junkyard swap?

maybe but...
with the jeep t-case/setup you could actually just run 2wd. As you may say there may have still been some added drag. The jeep's mileage did not change much from 2wd to 4wd.
Also no need for a center diff so to speak the jeep t-case was about the normal size for a t-case. I think it used visous coupling. Either way if there was a heavy duty version of this case it looks like it would be a pretty straight forward swap.
Guess Ill look around some more but sounds like I will just have to get use to this ol' timey 4wd system. Glad its not my daily driver.

after some more research I am suspecting the jeep case was as you described full time and may not have really had a 2wd mode. Would make sense with the milage, but then again I ran oversized tires which screwed my mileage from the start.
I wish I could remember the exact number of that case, I think it was a NP243. Which actually from some light research sounds like it came in some 3/4 and 1 ton chibbies.
Back to google I guess.
