I'm kinda new to transfer cases I got a 86 gmc k2500 700r4 trans 5.7 engine can some one tell me what t case I have and is there a better/stronger one that will interchange with this?
I'm asking because my current t case semi works 2wd work and 4 high but won't go into N or 4 low. And with winter here I won't be able to work on it till summer to see what the problem is. And if I do have to replace it I'd prefer upgrading to a better/stronger one.

Conventional wisdom is that a NP205 is more durable than a 208 - gear drive vs. belt drive.

Complete adapter kits - if you need one - are big money. You might just need a shaft.

A lot of good info on transfer cases - compiled by HRPC - here:
