NP241 swap

I like it. What are you doing for a rear shaft?

I like it! Great job. How's it work? Doing anything cosmetic for the look, or leav8it as is? What other mechanical mods were needed?

Working great. Drove it out on the dunes with no problem. I wont be doing anything to dress it up other than maybe a knob with an engraved shift pattern.

Which shaft did you have to replace? Pretty sure post said front, correct?
Was the original rear reusable?

Original rear shaft was reused. Aside from the shifter and front shaft, the NP241 is a direct swap mechanically speaking.

Excellent, that is what I wanted to hear. Going to yank the next one i see at the junkyard. Will grab the shaft and linkage too.

A little before and after with my CB installation.


Without the center console, I was able to finally install my RM Italy linear amp. Its a KL203-P 100W piece that allows 10W intput, so I dont need to mod the radio to 2W output. Radio and amp are both running off the old powers and grounds that ran the power sockets and Bose amp. If i run into noise Ill runs a dedicated cable to the battery.

Seeing the console removed makes me want to find a lower model Tahoe for me even more since the wife likes all the bells and whistles that i dont need. Pull the console do a nv3500/241 swap.

2Two years after the trasnfercase swap I've decided i wanted to rewire the central axle disconnect for full control. Now I have the option of 2lo for moving a trailer around or coming down a paved logging road with better engine breaking.

Transfer case control module pin A2 is cad actuator, and transfer case control switch C2 pin A is ground. Trimmed up a piece of plastic and painted it black to mount a toggle switch to connect the two.
