What's it going in? Hp/tq?
My 1977 HighBoy - Compounds, estimate 600 or so HP, 1200 ft*lbs, 40" tires. Mostly daily driver but would like to be able to use 4x4 every once in a while. I just figured the pullers would push every case to the limit and have a better idea of which one would hold up.
Would love a NP271, just don't have the length to run one without bad driveshaft angle and then I would have to clock it so much to fit in the narrow frame rails.
The 241DLD will last longer than the 205 but it won't last long with your setup. 205 case are weak. You would be money ahead to just get a 241DHD
Blow the plug welds out of the front axle and rotate the pumpkin a few degrees. Problem solved.
Can barley see the drive shaft in there. Somewhere i have a nice suspension picture.
Man im a terrible reader. Front is good (somehow) back is the problem. My bad.
Rear axle, front is no problem. Need to shorten length of case.
the back is easy as you can just buy degree blocks. I ran a standard driveshaft with 2 joints and a slip that was cut to the proper length an d balanced by Pattersons in Indy. nothing fancy. the front end is the sharp angle with a married t-case. tons more work with a big lift.
and the front should be your worry. with the steep angles if you don't have things just right the first time you rap on it the joint will break. wipe out an oil pan and rip the nose off the t-case and you will be sad.
Been awhile, but the ford 271dhd has a flange on it and not a slip yoke. Just going off pictures on internet might save you some room. But the 271 is a nice case. And what most run if not a 241dhd. Might have to swap the input to the right one. But not hard. Np271 Transfer Case - Photo 58120312 - 2013 Ford F-250 - Project Super Dirty: Part 6
Yep, would love to run but to fit in a highboy frame, I would have to clock it way down to clear the frame rails. and the Ford case with a flange is very long. Trust me, that is the case I would like to run.
