M5OD / NP205 Install
Wow! Talk about a job...Here's the issues so far.
1. M5OD put the transfer case about 4 inches to the rear.
2. NP205 will not fit into the M5OD because of the front plate on the 205
3. Driveshaft lengths are all f'd now
4. Transfer case shifter doesn't mount where it needs to be
5. PITA!!!
Anybody done this swap before??? I resolved issue 2 by running the cover in the brake lathe at the shop and trimming about a 1/4 inch off the face. I also had to clearance the M5OD for the cap screws that held the cover on.
