Does the 3rd gen have a HD Transfer Case

[hammersley]

as an option - like a 241 HD with the snow plow option in a 2nd gen??? My son is picking up an 06 and I was wondering if the snowplow option was the same as before?????

They all come with the big 273 now. Can't get snow plow prep w/ Cummins now. At least the on-line site won't let you order it that way. Also didn't see a camper special prep.

NVG271 if it has the floorshift option, NVG273 if its got the electric shift option.

My '03 QC came with a snow plow prep package. Not sure if they can still be ordered that way but at one time they could.

What's the difference between the 241 and 271, other than the mathematical result of 30?

Here's a link that should answer all you're transfer case questions,

Seems like from that link, we got the big boys!

It looks like the only difference between the 241 and the 241HD used in the 2nd gens is the fluid capacity, but the max torque is the same.

And the fact the 241HD has a PTO option... and supposedly a little wider chain... if you look at them side by side, the HD is also somewhat bigger than the regular 241... maybe for the PTO option?

Next question is, with a max torque of 7800+lb/ft, how close are some of us to grenading this thing? Torque multiplication and gearing of the trans and such...

I believe that the NVG 271 is considerably stronger than the NVG 241 HD .

I believe you would spin the tires before you grenaded a transfercase... unless you have purposely weighted your truck for pulling or added sticky tires for racing... you shouldn't be able to get the torque required to break the tcase to the ground before the tires spin... even in 4wd.

I believe you are correct... I think the 271 is quite a bit stronger than even the stout 241HD IIRC from what I have read...

Yeah the new Transfer Cases make the 2nd gen units look miniature.

I think that a snow plow prep package is available with diesle ONLY with short wheelbase Qcab or regular cab long bed.
