Dodge Transfer Case SYE
- Thread starter Turtle
- Start date
It appears that the NP241 already has a fixed yoke, but I would need a tailshaft housing kit, anyone know where I can get one?
Not finding much on this subject in the search, found some info in a Jeep Perfoprmance Handbook that states I would need this TS housing kit

any reason your not using a 231 or 242?
JeeperJohn I will post back if I do this swap.
Beakie The dodge transfer case is a NP231 and has the wider chain already in it and the 23 spline, I purchased this Jeep in a basket with a built motor and the current NP241 has a big hole in the case from maybe the chain breaking and creating this hole. So I could rebuild a NP231 with the larger chain, or buy a good Dodge unit that already has this for about $100 at a U-Pull yard. The chain alone would cost more than this and I would have to rebuild.

the dodge 241 case will bolt right up and it has 6 planetary gears opposed to only 3 in the jeep 231 or 242 along with a wider chain. i am using one that i converted to 21 spline to use with the older aw4. so far no problems and can get them from older ram trucks or ramchargers.

the case i have has a fixed yoke on both ouputs. Changing the input splines is easy you just have to dismantle the entire case to do it and put it back together correctly.

Can't the guts from the Dodge 241 be installed in a 231?

I have a 241 out of a JK (the non OR version). It worked great in my XJ and bolted right up. Didnt have a speedo drive though, so I upgraded to the Rubi 241OR a couple weeks ago. The non OR 241 was BEEF compared to a stock 231. If you dont need a speedo, that is another option. You will need to get yokes from Tom Woods or someone else to replace the flanges, but you wont need a SYE with it.
Just throwing it out there.

241 guts won't fit in a 231 except for the input, planatary and a few other parts. The chain and sprockets wont fit. The fat chain 231 is the 231DHD, you can swap all those parts.

www.JBCONVERSIONS.com has just what you want SYE kits for 231 and 241 chevys, jeeps and dodges. Givem a look not that bad of prices either.
Cool thanks for the link, they have a SYE specific for the Dodge transfer case and it looks like it has the speedo port. $340
If you can run the Jeep SYE with the Dodge TCase this would be cheaper, not sure if there is a difference in this kit or not. As long as the rear output housing is the same bolt pattern it should work.
