Just bought an M998 A0. The 6.2 has been replaced with the 6.5, but the 3-speed tranny and NP218 T-case remained. Although I do respect the original config of only 4WD, I really would like to swap the TC for one with a 2WD option in addition to 4H, 4L and 4HL.
Long term plan is to drop in a Cummins 5.9 12v, Dodge 47RH tranny and a TBD T-Case. But short term, in terms of a doable project (that will invariably displace one of my honey-do's) and affordability, a T-Case swap will get me the 2H option, the resulting fuel economy boost and hopefully a slight noise reduction.
So, question for this august body of like-minded brethren: What transfer case will replace the NP218 on a straight bolt-on basis to give me a 2WD option? Are there any pitfalls with this swap that you would advise me on?
Thanks for the input - much appreciated.
