Help, Friend had his Transfer case blow apart. Case is destroyed. He is being told that transfer case was only use between 11/2001 and 6/2002 any ideas if this is correct or if you can use one from other years.

By the way it is a 2002 2500 4X4 I think stock with auto trans (was it still running the 47re in this year?) seems to be some change to front diff part way through this year 0f 2002.

Vin 3B7KF23602M256965
I show Manufacture date of 1/2002

Any help or referral would be great he is stranded out of state traveling on a mission trip to build houses for the homeless in Mexico.....

Thanks
Im Kind of a 12 valve guy so not the best in these years.

 

Trans is a 47re on this truck.

T-case is either a NV241 or NV241HD. The HD can be identified by its own PTO cover.

I don't think the comment on the 11/2001-6-2002 T-case run is correct, but I could be wrong. Its the first I've ever heard of such.

The only change I know of in this time period is that the CAD was eliminated after 1 Jan 2002. Trucks built before this have central axle disconnect with vacuum relays and such. Trucks built after have a regular mechanical shifter and the front axle parts always turn, even in 2wd.
