Help me identify my T-Case
- Thread starter K5on38s
- Start date
95 Silverado
1/2 ton status
It should have an aluminum case, look on the back of the case, should have a round metal tag, it will be marked 241C, if it's the original style case.

241's where the only ones used in blazers?
in '89 they were
Here is the chronolgy of T-cases.
73-79, majority came with the NP203. Fulltime case, 2.01:1 low range chain driven with a cast iron case
73-80, NP205, mostly behind the SM465 4 speed. It was the only T-case offered in 1980 and came behind all trannies. 73-79 versions were fixed yoke, 80 was slip yoke. 1.96:1 low range, gear drive and cast iron
81 saw the introduction of the NP208 which came behind all available trannies. It was chain driven, aluminum case, 2.61:1 low range with a slip yoke output. It was replaced with the 241 in 89. The 241 is similar to the 208 but has a 2.72:1 low range. It is also slip yoke output but a slip yoke eliminator is avaialble through the aftermarket. 89-91 241's were found behind every available tranny also.
Hope that helps some!

The shifter for a SM465 is labelled as L-1-2-3...I routinely call L first etc etc.
Ratios' are 6.55:1, 3.58:1, 1.70:1, and 1:1
The 241 isn't a bad T-case, but it does have it's known weak areas. The Hi-Lo shift collar doesn't take much abuse so always make sure you shift between hi and lo range as per the instructions on the visor...it will not tolerate being shifted between ranges while moving at all.
The other weakness is the aluminum case...a good skid plate is mandatory.
With a good skid and a slip yoke eliminator it is a good T-case with a decent low range.
