2000 F350; 2 different automatic transmissions?
Am looking into buying a new transfer case (TC), and one web-site indicated there were 2 different automatic transmissions; Manual vs electronic -shift?
So some TC's for 2000 AT's would not work? I found one (used) that was from a 2002.
My truck came to a grinding halt yesterday and I believe the TC. I had been hearing noise for a while and had been in the process of eliminating other causes (u-joints, ball joints) and think it was the TC all along.
I did not notice any issues with the AT prior.

I figured it out. The auto vs manual was referring to the actual transfer case & not the transmission. Had too much on my brain today. 
Still want to make sure I'm addressing the right thing.
I don't think the noise is coming from the rear end but how do I eliminate that?
One sure way I think would be to put it in neurtral and see if I can turn the shaft (attached to the TC). If it turns then it's something in the rear end (or AT?). If it doesn't turn, I'm about sure it's in the TC. Short of taking the TC apart I know of no other way.

Drain the transfer case oil and strain it through a paper towel or shop towel, if it is going you will find flakes of chrome bearing material in the oil.
I got my transfer case from a wrecking yard for a little over $100us. It had 120k on it and 70k later it's still going strong. My original died at over 400k.

Thanks for the info. Everything helps. It is something up front. Not convinced it's the transfer case but that's still suspect. Am leaning toward something in the front axle. Didn't have time to tear into that tonight, but will tomorrow.
