It's been said that the NP231D HD that came in the V8 Rams came with wide chains and 6 pinion planetary gears, it was not true in my case, but I'll pass the info of what I'm doing along for the lucky bastard that does find one, or wants to go find one.
There really isn't any point in opening up a Dodge case and pulling the guts out to put them in a Jeep case as I had originally planed, because the cases are the same, and it's all interchangeable.
Originally I picked this case up to put the guts into a 231J that suffered a failed hack-n-tap that was given to me, but an other buddy of mine had his Tera 4:1 blow up on him and I gave him the 231J. "Luckily" the engine in my Jeep bit the dust, so I gutted it and kept the case to use as the recipient.
The Dodge wide chain(Cloyes P/N 10-022), and the Jeep chain(Dodge on top)
Dodge and Jeep output shafts, with sprockets still attached(Dodge on top)
Bare outputs(Jeep on top)
But this Dodge case did not come with the fabled 6 pinion planetary
But after looking at the cases back to back, I realized there was no real differences between the two
Jeep
Dodge
So I tested a theory and put the extra tail shaft and tail housing I had been given from the one I gave away(he swapped in an SYE), into the Dodge case... Perfect fit!
