NP273 Chain Slack
Anyone have the spec on how much slack the transfer case chain is supposed to have? I have some deflection and while I have it open I’d like to change it if necessary. Thanks!!

When in doubt, change it out. Don't want the chain slapping up against the case. That will cause to where a hole in the aluminum case in no time.
