I think Jasper does an exchange. Lots of people post good luck with them on transmissions.

Have seen old cast iron T-Cases crack and have seen some of the NP cases crack, but the difference is that some of the NP cases are made from either aluminum or MAGNESIUM

I'd not fix any and get a uncracked/busted/etc junk yard case and rebuild it


This image is a busted NP T-Case and most likely driven in 4x4 lock on pavement or on good traction surfaces. The below link is to a site that addresses the age old non-4x4 or newbie-4x4 person asking and/or folks providing advice (sure you can) if it is okay to drive on pavement in 4x4 lock...of course a standard 4x4, not all-wheel or full-time...NO IT IS NOT OKAY to drive in 4x4 lock on good traction conditions


Here is why part time 4WD should never be used on dry pavement



This image show why...

How did you do it? Curious!

I have older Dodge also. Getting hard for some parts on 2nd gens. I've been looking for a fuel tank over 6 months now.

I think you would have better luck on cumnnins forum or moparman. IMO moparman has better info but not as many folks. Ask on both. Good luck. https://mopar1973man.com/

Michigan is a 500 miles from one end to the other. Can you narrow it down a few miles.

I have but it was a np231 and the chain failed causing the case to crack, I wouldn't really call it blowing up.

"blew transfer case to pieces"

For real if so I would be checking into junk yards for a used one or by a reman if they are available.

just an example

Unless you are familiar that a specific shop is very skilled in driveline repair I would install a remanufactured t-case. A good competent mechanic can install one very easily. I would be reluctant to rebuild what you have or let someone talk you into that route as it could prove to be $$$ and less than robust when complete. You can find a reman for around a grand that is completely gone through. Not cheap but you know what you’re getting is solid. There are many good shops you can find online to order from. One of them is Powertrain Products Inc. Good Luck!

Not at all. Sorry to hear that. Wish I had a reccomendation for you.
Good luck getting it repaired.
