Tranfercase

[Iguide]

I'm getting ready to change the fluid in my transfercase of my 03. How can I tell if it is a NV243, NV271, NV273, or a NV241 GenII? They take different amounts of fluid. Also where is the drain & fill wholes?



In addition on my NV5600 where are the drain & fill wholes?



If any one has any advise to add please feel free to do so.



Thanks & make it a Great Day!!

If you have an '03, and manual shift, it is the 271, electric shift is the 273.

Click on the truck link in my sig and then go to the General Reference section (lower middle) and there age pages for the NV5600 and xfer case fluid change.

Are the '04. 5's a 241?

No, all 3rd Gens are 271 or 273s. Last year of the 241 was '02.

Oh, ok. Is a 271 worth a cr@p?

Look at the specs on NVs site, http://www.newventuregear.com/tcases.html, it is a pretty stout case. I am pretty sure I read the new GM 4500 and 5500 4X4s are using it, the GM 2500 and 3500 trucks still use the 241, 243, the 271 and 273 little brother.

Correct. The 271/273 is about the stoutest currently available stock on the market. Much heavier duty than the 241, which has been living beind the Cummins for years. Ford also uses these cases in the Superduties. Had a 271 in my F350, now I have a 273.



No worries.
