NP203 question?

I have a 79 Bronco with the full time 203 t-case, and the original owner put a crap part time kit that wore out, and now I am putting a better one in and I was wanting to know how many miles I can get out of the chain?

Thanks for any help,
-Matt

1 mile or 100000 miles. Depends on how you drive and how much abuse you give it. Check the tension and see if it is within tolerance.

I've got a Slightly used NP-203 if you are interested in obtaining a spare.

If you lived close to Ville Platte, La and you would practically give it away(REAL CHEAP) then I would, but I already brought mine to someone and I already have a 205 sitting in my yard if I feel like swaping from 203-205.

Thanks anyway,
Matt

I almost did, but I didn't know if I needed new drive shafts. I thought the front one might fit, but I knew the rear wouldn't work. I would of needed to put new berings and seals in my 205 anyway.

What truck did you put your 205 in? My truck is a Bronco do you think I could re-use my front shaft at least?
