NP208 and NP241c combo?

[usar17]

Is it possible to take the output shaft and tail shaft housing from a driver side drop NP242c and put them on a NP208? I can't find any passenger side drops at the nearby yards and I need to make my transfer case electric speedo

Well I was gonna swap tail shafts housings from my 208 and 241 to get back to my mechanical 208 speedo. Never really looked at it. But all the 4x4 mags say you can. Anyway just googled some pics and it does not look like it will work.

looks like a 241 and 242 are interchangeable but not the 208. However im sure you can change the sensor and reluctor ring over to your 208 housing. maybe that's what the mags were talking about ?

That being said im not sure if the reluctor ring from a 242 will fit on a 208. I have been told the 241 and 208 reluctor ring are interchangeable. I guess I will find out

best thing is to pull some out of the junkyard and see if it works.

And keep us posted

I couldn't get the tail housing off one just now. Heat stroke settling in Haha need to go home for ice cold beer. I'll have to try and tackle another one at another time. But they do not look interchangable at all.

NO from the pics the housing s will not work but im bettin the ring and sensor will just swap right over to your 208 housing.

Dodge has some driver side drop 241s not sure what years but im thinking anything 90s

 

[usar17]

I could only get a quarter of an inch of the housing off and it stopped. I'm obviously missing something

 

[MadOgre]

Oh hang on ill check

 

[MadOgre]

the first part of the housing should come right off then you will see the rear out put bearing and there is a snap ring in front of the bearing that needs to be removed first

 

[usar17]

Ooooooo. I'll remember that next time. Hopefully I can swap the ring or while shaft over

 

[MadOgre]

first part has 3 bolts then snap ring then second part comes off with 4 more bolts. it can not come off in one piece.

 

[MadOgre]

the ring should just slide off as it is splined to the out put shaft ?

 

[usar17]

Ok. But the NP208 shaft won't have a spot for it. Id have to weld ot

 

[MadOgre]

yep it sure will. the 242 ring is a splined sleeve right ? your 208 has the same splined sleeve setup so supposedly you just have to swap sleeves and install the sensor into your 208 housing

 

[MadOgre]

the question is are they the same spline count and out put shaft diameter ?

 

[usar17]

Splined sleeve?

 

[MadOgre]

The reluctor ring fits over the output shaft and is splined to the shaft. No ?
