Borg Warner T-case questions

Is the Borg Warner 1356 transfer case chain driven or gear driven? What is its reputation like good? bad? tough? weak? I'm leaning towards swapping a NP205,but I'm willing to hold off if the bw 1356 isn't inherently weak

They're tough but not like an NP205. What kind of power are you putting down? What are you using the truck for?

1356 is 2.7:1 in low range, chain drive, very tough
NP205 is 1.96:1 in low range, gear drive, very very tough, smaller
The 205 will move your driveshaft over a few inches and could interfere with headers, etc. Your front driveshaft will get shorter, and your rear will get longer.
