np203 ???? 2 wheel low?
Ok, 2 of my buddies have 79 f150s with 203 cases, they both baught them with part time conversions in them, and their shift pattern is this,
4low
2low
I think this is where nuetral goes?
4high
2high
Is it normal to have 2wheel low? and yes it IS 2 wheel low, I checked very carefully, anyway, just curious

thanks for the input everybody, I appreciate it. Oh yes, I CAN tell the difference between a 203 and 205, but no offence taken
So on a side note, Why is everybody so against np203s? I mean I know all the problems that are associated with them but with a part time kit I like the ease of 2 low, I know the 205 (which I do have in my truck) is tougher, lighter, can take more horses, you can twin stick it, and all that, but if I did have an np203 in my truck I cirtainly wouldn't go to all the trouble to swap it out unless it broke. just my .02
Oh, one more thing, wouldn't it be easier to do the 203 205 doubler to a truck that started with a 203?

No one likes the NP203s, because they are chain driven, and like you said, they can't handle the big power, b/c the chain is the weak point. So basically Ivan, and monsterbaby couldn't use it in there trucks, but for me it works fine.
With stock or mild set up a chain can easily last 200K miles. I wanted to swap from 203 to 205 a while back, but after looking into it more, that would of cost a ***** load and needed some nice fabrication.
2 low is somthing I always though was nice to have, but I very seldomly use it.
