What t-case should I go with???

[trooper4life]

I am going to be putting a vortech4.3 in my trooper and it has the 700r4 bolted to it. Now it has a driversside drop and I need the passengersside drop for my setup. What do you guys think I should go with?

Keep in mind that I would like to use some ters lows in the t-case, I would also like to twin stick the t-case.

I wanted to go with the danna 300 However they are hard to find around my neck of the woods.

Thanks for the help,
Daniel

do you need to buy an adapter to run the 300? if you need to buy an adapter i would go with a toy case and double it while your at it.

yes I would have to buy an adapter for it to bolt to the tranny. What toy t-cases should I be looking for? You think that I would have room under there for two t-cases?

79-85 top shift cases. i'm putting dual cases in my chevy luv which the trooper is an evolution of,i don't see any probs getting things to fit.
there are 21 spline and 23 spline cases,23 spline being stronger.

try searching,there is an unbelievable amount of info here.

If you want to stick with chevy, the NP205 t-case is a good all around one, mated with a 203 if you have room and you will have the low range that you will need. the 203 has a good low range, but crappy high, 205 is pretty good in both, and the 208 has a better high range. 203 and 205 are pretty common t-cases and they are pretty easy to find and they are pretty durable. They should also mate right up to your tranny.

Neither a 203 or a 205 will mate up to a th700r4 without aftermarket adapters. Go for an ORD doubler, you can use an Exaxt (http://www.exaxt.ca/misc.asp) adapter in front of the stock th350 adapter and 203 reduction box. Put a twinsticked Chevy 205 behind that you get great gearing choices, it'll be strong as hell and you'll have a tripple stick.

If they dont mate up, then how does my friend have one mated with no adapter? Or would it be a different t-case? if it is can you tell me what it is. It is an 84 chevy truck. The only thing that has been replaced in it is maybe the tranny, but the engine and gears. Please lemme know, Thanks

203 Low range = 2:1...Spectacular. :rolleyes:
203 High range = 1:1, the same as (almost) every other t-case.

205 is pretty good in both,

205 Low range = 1.96 :1
205 High range = 1:1...how is this good, while the 203's 1:1 high is crappy? :confused:

and the 208 has a better high range.

208 High range = 1:1...now I'm really cornfused? :flipoff2:

203 is very common, but will not mate directly to his tranny without either an aftermarket spacer/adapter, or tranny output shaft (requires complete tranny dissasembly to install). The 205 situation is similar, but the 205 version and corresponding factory adapter he needs to mate to his tranny is fairly rare and expensive.

Dumbass. :flipoff2:

I have the WMS Doubler (NP203 clocked upside down and NP205 clocked up to flat - level inputs and outputs) and I have twin sticked my NP205 and it works well on the trail. I haven't installed cutting brakes yet, but I tried the same theory with just locking up my brakes, then shifting the rear into neutral and front in lo and turned the wheels. It will nearly turn around in a circle that way!

Killer stuff man!;)

I apologize for giving miss information that i have been given. Thank you for correcting me.

As light as the Trooper is I would go with a D-20, simple, quite available, drivers drop (if you get the right application), gearsets avail, and short. When you mean twin stick it I am not sure of what you really meen, do you want front wheel drive only?? I dont know if that can be done with it but some one here will.

atlas?

I have never stuck my trooper on a scale, but I don't think they are actually as light as a many people think. I have owned several trucks of several different brands, including a 3/4-ton K20 flatbed. I have also worked on many 70's full-size blazers and I imagine my 86 trooper is atleast as heavy as a 70's blazer. When you measure the wheelbase they are actually almost the same size (I think the body style makes them appear smaller, while the frame was thicker and also had larger and thicker skid-plates.

In fact, I think the only truck I have ever owned/worked on that had a thicker frame than my trooper is my tow rig which is a 02 F250 Powerstroke.

I never would have thought. In that case I say do a 203/205 combo. Strong as you are going to get, still have your 4:1 (well 3.95:1), you can triple stick it so you have front wheel drive only and is only as long as a standard 203.
