call standard transmission and gear at 800-783-8726. they can help you out with your trans. they might be able to help you with the transfer case also. you could pm BigBadDodge he has a nv4500 and the np271 t-case.

Check out Quad 4x4 and take 5 minutes to call Dan the Gear Man. He'll give a good explanation of what your options are and can build you a good box with the right main shaft.

I just had a new NV4500 with the Torque King main shaft and new 13. 25" clutch installed in my truck. The transmission was from Quad4X4 is is running fine ... just a little notchy making shifts which I'm sure will become smother as miles go by.

I had the Torque King pilot bearing installed as well ... this is a must.

Dan has the 4500's in stock new, the Dodge dealers don't seem to have any (from what I'm told).

I am almost done with my 500 mile break in and will be ready to run the highway soon.

Any new 4500 has the new tower shifter ... which I think you have in your '98. I didn't and had to get the shift lever kit as well ... nice set up, though I had to zip-tie the shift boot to the stick to close up the gap.

Like Woodenhead said ... contact Dan and see what he's got.

three (?) years ago i was in the same position. shopped around and got the best deal at drive train specialists in las vegas. cost me $1995 (new) + $500 refundable core charge. set me back $100 surface frt to NC. they also has a $1500 reman version. best part was my local dodge dealer allowed me to it shipped directly to him to have it installed. i obviously don't know the current price or even if this outfit is still in business, but worth looking into. regards, steve whalen

You better start looking for one FAST! New ones are disaperring fast around the country. Even Quad 4X4 has updated their site and only have a few left and only with their upgraded mainshaft. Prices are beginning to go out of site!
