You need to swap the input gears i believe, their the same spline right?

adidasman23

ya they are the same spline. so i can swap them from t-case to t-case.

Yeah their not real complicated, just take your time when taking them apart and look at how everthig is assembled, youll need some snap ring plyers and a set of plyers that open not clamp will be helpful with the other rings that aren't snap ring style.

then what is the differents with the dhd and the dld besides the pto option.

The NV241D is a heavier duty Dodge version of the 241, with a larger input shaft and larger bearings to withstand the torque of the V10 and diesel engines.

The NV241HD, an option on Ram 2500's and standard on Ram 3500's built after 1998, has a stronger case and wider drive chain to better withstand the shock of snow plow service, a PTO cover and drive gear, and an extra bearing to support the thrust to the main shaft created by a PTO adapter.
