What all is different between th DLD tranfer case and the DHD case? and how can I over come the differences so I could switch them?

 

The input shaft and bearing that I know of. The auto tranny is a 23 spline and the manual is a 29 spline. You can change the input gear between the two but you have to change the bearing also. If you put a DHD gear with a DLD bearing you will get a loud grinding noise. Ask me how I know.

 

my 01' has the dhd in it so I took it out of it being a 6 speed and mounted it behind my 95' being a 5 speed. Two problems. the speedo gear and the slip yoke from my 01' had to be used bc the 01 HD is about an inch longer. So the only real problem is the speedo gear the tailshaft housing has a indent in it for it but don't know if its a knockout or not. so is it and if it is haw do you get the housing off?

 

Should only be 4 bolts on the housing then it comes off. After 98 dodge quit using the speedo gear in the transfer case and uses the sensor in the dif ball. On my 96 tailshaft the speedo gear in held on the shaft with snap rings. If the shaft on the 01 has the same splines i think you could put the gear on the 01 shaft. Why did you change the transfer case by the way.

 

to try to get out of the dld and move into the dhd in my puller. I took the four bolts out but their is a snap ring holding it on thruogh the slot in the tailshaft. How do u get it out

 

See if this link helps. You sould be able to remove the snap ring but be careful it will over strech easily. then remove the bolts in the other cover and pry it off.

Got it put in w/out the speedo and the only problem is that the shift pattern is backwards and I can'get enough travel in the shifter to get it into 4-lo
