fulltime 4wd to part time
I have a 76 f250 with a full time divorced transfer case. If i put a part time kit in it. wiill it
A. weaken the tranfer case.
B can i still run in 4wd but not in the lock position.
C. WIll this improve fuel ecomnomy.
will just putting lock out hubs on help fuel economy?
is that hard on driveline parts?

That's the NP203.
1. A PT kit won't weaken the transfer-case
2. It will ONLY run in 4wd Lock; you lose the full-time 4wd mode
3. It may improve fuel-economy.
If you install hubs (which you should), then the front drivetrain is not turning when you're in 2wd, so it would result in less wear.

It was a good case for Me I had a 203 with a part time kit until I blew the differential out thru the tail shaft case, I've talked to a couple 4X shops and they said the conversion was fine unless you get on it alot (My Problem) now I have a 205 which was a direct bolt in except for the front and rear drive shaft lenght....
