    OK, reading alot about transfer cases and I'm a bit confused. Just bought a rebuilt 98'-02' trooper TOD case. Some posts say I need a Trooper front shaft, others say I don't. Will the check engine light come on? I know the gearing is different but that doesn't matter to me. Will this work or did I waste my $$$?

    Thx in advance

    I still have my VX computer in but no front drive shaft currently.
    No check engine or check TOD light, but I did swap the flanges on the front (towards the engine compartment) so that I could use my VX drive shaft.
    I think people mention taking the Trooper one so that the bolt patterns are the same.

    Thx, I'm planing on swapping both flanges so I can use VX drive shafts.

    As long as it's a TOD T/C it should be a direct fit including drive shafts. You shouldn't have to swap flanges at all. A manual T/C is a different story.

    Edit
    Hmmm, I just reread Audacity's post and he does indicate the Trooper TOD front prop shaft is U-joint not CV like the VX. I guess I was incorrect thinking they both had the same CV style prop shaft.

    There's no 'I' in denial.

    Thx Bartman. That's what's confusing me. I've read posts where some say it's a direct fit and some say it's not. I'm going to swap flanges any way.
    Now.... is the length the same? Read somewhere that the trooper TC is smaller.

    Same size for the TOD, manual is a little bit shorter but not enough to worry about.

    Did you get this transfer case in and running ?
    How is the gearing ? Higher ? Lower ?

    Just saw this post. Trooper TOD Transfer case has been in for a year or soo and working flawlessly. Don't notice a difference in gearing
