Th400/np208

[Tomahawk715]

Anyone done this? Got access to a M-1009 CUCV Blazer with this combo. I know the 205 might be a bit stronger but the 208 has a better low range.

208's are still a fairly strong transfer case. I would not worry about it unless you decide to run big HP and big tires and start bouncing it off rocks on a regular basis. I say run it. Around my neck of the woods TH400's are going for some coin. So if you can get a good deal on it, grab it.

I think the 208 is just the modern 205. A lot less weight using a chain and aluminum case and almost as strong. The 208 / 400 is used in the M1008 and M1009 and civi blazers and suburban’s.


Anybody in need I have one from a M1009.

The NP205 is a gear driven part time transfer case. It can be operated in either two or four wheel drive. The overall length of the NP205 case is 12"-13" from the face of the case to the rear output yoke's center on fixed yoke models. The NP205 has a high range of 1.00:1 and a low range of 1.96:1

The NP208 version out of the M trucks was a 32 spline.
The deal will be free-no money changing hands anyway-I'd be trading the
SM420, starter and odds and ends I have for the TH400 and NP208.
I'm going to be swapping in D60/14 combo so I thought now would be the time to get into the trans/case if I want to swap.

I would not hesitate to run a 208. They have a pretty good rep. over on IFSJA. They are pretty much THE t-case to swap into 80+ rigs, and a lot of members have abused them pretty badly.

The one in my 83 has never let me down, and always operates as it should. Very easy to shift it into/out of all positions as well. Unlike my Dana 20.
