Transfer Case Replacement/Repair Options

Awesome! I think I may have sourced a transfer case out of a Trooper at a local salvage yard, so that might do me well until I can rebuild.

Does anyone know how the 2hi option works out with the VX?

I have been told that the Trooper and VX TOD/TC are different. They do have different part numbers but I'm not convinced that a Trooper TOD isn't a direct replacement for the VX. Specs are the same and both have a 2.48:1 ratio. The 2HI mode may be the key. On the Trooper there is a 4wd button and a vacuum controlled disconnect of the front axle (correct me if I'm wrong). There might be a 2HI position on the TC or it may just be the neutral between 4lo and TOD. The parts Trooper I had was a 5spd so it didn't have TOD but it did have the 4WD button and vacuum axle setup.
I think the Trooper one will work but until someone does it we won't know for sure.
