Jimmy, both of your 90 F250 diesels should have the borg warner 1356 transfer case in them.

Will the auto and manual X-cases interchange?

yes. the t-case is the same. the difference is in the adapter that bolts to the tailshaft of the trans.

the 90 diesel and 460 only came with the 1356.
the light duty trucks with small engines came with the 1345 t-case.

I am also in need of a new transfer case, been babying it along for about a year now. Mine has the slipyoke output, all of the automatics that I have seen have had a universal connecting the driveshaft to the t-case. Can I just swap the output shafts on the t-case to get them to work?
