In order to swap i assume i would need to find a donor truck with the linkage and case, besides that i should be good right? I also would need to cut a hole in the floor pan i assume which ismt that big of a deal
Nope. The marks for cut is stamped into the floor. You must be under the truck cki to see them. An NP241 and shift linkage, inside cover are all removed from a similar truck and will bolt in. The front driveshafter will need different u joint on case end. Speed sensor should be same. Just leave the tccm in the truck an and unplug same. Grey/black will email engage from different by grounding. Backup light is separate and part of the transmission. These cases,are common and used in half and 3/4 ton. Pay attention to your output shaft splines. Probably 31 which is typical for most NP241s. It's straightforward install. It will shift when you want it to. All indicator lighting is in the t-case cover. All ćan be easily connected, including the front diff
lock light. All the wiring for lights, front axle, and mode is already inside the dash. The shifter is very positive and easy to operate. 12v feed off power panel.
I have an NP243 and probably the push buttons assembly. Laying in my shop for 4 years.
