Have you ever picked up a 273? I have. I've swapped the tcase out of my superduty benching it in and out. I have also hand bombed 205s in and out on more than one occasion. Equally heavy if you ask me.

I don't actually know the numbers. But if a 205 is 130 lbs. a 273 is well over a hundred. They use Magnesium cases not aluminum.

Start a thread in the Garage forum for particular questions, or start a build thread in the Driveway section detailing your rig and the issues you encounter.
One thing worth clarifying is that personal attacks are a no-no around here. Running a 205 vs any of the other cases out there is not a matter of growing a pair. It's a matter of preference. No one case has it all, and my build parameters may be quite different from yours. Recognizing that is one of the things that keeps useful information flowing around here (vs. worthless insulting matches that crop up on other forums).
I'll use your "hard shifting" comment as an example. Most of the times that my street rig uses 4WD are when I'm driving through snow storms. I may need to engage 4WD suddenly while driving down the highway. NP205 cases (non-synchronized) are terrible for this purpose. It doesn't matter how bulletproof it is because it doesn't fit my need for that particular truck (although I'm considering running one in my expedition rig). And there are a bunch of things like this that should be considered when selecting a transfer case. One size does not fit all.
Doesn't matter if you're a noob at this point. That's what we're here for. To feed that bug so that someday you'll be a smart, knowledgeable squarebody addict.
So welcome to CK5! Can't wait to see how the rig turns out.

General comments made to personal comments from intro 1.0, cool your jets slick.
Jets are cool on this end. And I welcomed you to the club. I wish only to point out that you are going to miss out on some neat tech information if you come in here having already decided that some transfer case is automatically the best thing since sliced bread. There's always more than one side to a story, and a 205 may or may not be best for your situation. But it certainly isn't best for every truck on here.
Meh, you can run that poorly geared boat anchor if you want.

Yeah, those transfer cases in the Dodge,s behind the Cummins are heavy. I had to take one in and out a few times.

Hi, my name is Savas I am new to the sight but have searched and used information off here many times before. I have a list of square bodies my dd '77 c20 pretty much stock and old. My trail rig '84 k5 with 350,sm465,np205,w/38's on cucv tons w/52/63 swap. My tow rig '85 cucv stock with 350 swap. My restoration project '76 k10 sbss with tbi 350, 700r4, np208, d44/12 with 3.08's. And lastly the wife's truck '85 c10 sbss w/aluminum headed sbc and '91 burb front end on factory rallies. I will get pictures up of them on my profile one day but just starting on here so have to learn how to work all this before I can do all that.
Nice collection.

The govt ordered it from GM sent it down to Armor-Tec in Texas bullet res glass steel plates in the walls ( found that out when i pulled the carpet off the walls and 3/8 A-R plate fell out..that plate at the scrap yard paid for the interior ), then up to salt lake city to Advanced 4 wheel sys for a 1 ton GMC front end and gave it to the Cuban Diplomats in Miami for 3 yrs then the Nevada state maintenance sys got it to look for oil in Elco Nev. then the Utah Olympics took it and put 10k in the appulistry paint and drive line, 4 mos after that i got it in a auction for 12.5k
'93 G30 454 4X4 EXT, 4l80E, np205, 4-56 spicers in a Dana ft & GM Corp rear, Bilstien 5100's, BFG 315/75/16, 146" wheelbase. This was all factory or govt, well almost I have increased the tire size to mellow The Beast, still way more motor than tire, only made 3, Its a 2 seater ripped out the 4 bench seats & diamond the floor, oaked the walls, fishing rod racks, limo roof, 12 speaker 1000 watt sony surround, exercise bike, telescope that you can count the rings of Saturn and oh yea a Hammock to sleep in and watch the stars.
The Beast has done 270 miles of the Baja 1000 in 03 as a chase truck (got 8 MPG ), from here to Tuson & back in 10 hrs, 6 ft in the air behind Lake Morena, last May I took a 7 week road trip to the Florida Keys and back 6700 miles ( got 14 MPG). I have 2 of these one for the dirt - one for the street, the other '92 G30 454 EXT.
