In the future I'd like to ditch my 700 for a built 400. However, I'd like to keep an NP241 for a t-case because of the low range, weight, and clockability.

Is there a good way to put an NP241 on the back of a TH400?
 
Yeah....I have a th400 to 241/208 adapter for sale in the for sale section. :D You would also have to find a 32 spline input for your 241. Or a 241 with the 32 spline input.
 
DOH!!! I'm a 'tard and didn't think about it being a factory combo.

What'd they all come in? later 3/4 tons?
 
Good deal, I figured the input splines would be my biggest problem but that's kinda taken care of if it was a factory combo.

Jay, got pics? How much taller is the tall version over the shorty? I'm looking to clock the case and get everything up high.

Once again, thanks guys.
 
yeah and there are atleast 2 different adapters.
The shorter one (which is not for sale)

And the longer one:
Which I dont have a pic of right now.
 
lol, thanks man, if it's significantly taller I'll pass on it but thanks for the info none the less.

ok since I just swapped adapters...and clocked it flat...and feel like showing off pics...
In this pic you can kinda see how far down it sits.

And den with the shorter adapter..

Cool beans, sounds like you went to the shorty for the same reason I'd like to.
 
I saw it laying in my roommates pile of crap that he would neither sell nor use ever. Even more so since he has a 2wd bagged truck now. So I said I would trade him mine for his and then sell mine and give him the money. Once I saw it I was like oooooo I could have a flat belly. Ive wanted a flat belly since like jr high, but Im too lazy to do anything about it. But thats a different story. :doah:
 
btw....if your used flat bar or angle I think you could get away with a flat belly still. Id check out estabans pics on how he did his.
 
Just remember that if you do clock it flat you WILL need a high angle CV. I dont care what anyone says about being able to use a stocker and grinding it.
I tried it and it didnt work. But I am runnin g52's up front and have about 10" of down travel.
If you dont want to shell out the $1K+ for a 42" DS from HAD or someplace like that I know HAD sells just the CV for about $500.
 
TTT...I need to know what EXACTLY I need to make this combo work.

What output shaft should I look for for the TH400? Would a 205 or 203 32 spliner work or is the length 241 specific?

I can probably pick up a 32 spline input for the 241 without issue.

Also, what precisely do I need to bolt between the 241 and 400? I have an adaptor on the way but apparently it's only an inch or two thick. Is there another section of tailhousing that I should be using or is the total package that short? Thanks for any help guys.
 
The adapter is about the same deminsions as a regular 700/208/241 adapter except it has 6 bolts for the tranny side.

Do they really make a pass. drop 241 that is 32 spline input?? I thought the only combo was the 400/208 that came in the military vehicles.


Dont ditch the 700, just build it up and it will never let you down. PLus the 400's have a known problem of the tailhousing breaking.
 
Use a th400 that had a 208 behind it which are quite easy to get. There are 2 adapters, a short one that almost looks just like a 700r4/241 adapter or the tall version which will be in almost all 400/208 combos. You will need a 32 spline input for your t case which is easy to swap. I have the short adapter, and input that I could sell you. I bought them to do a 241/205 doubler t case set up in my K5 but decided to just do a 203/205 doubler instead.
 
85 - Find me a BOP 700 and I'll use it. :p:

Wayne, I've got the 241, and an adaptor on the way, all I need to know about is the output shaft. If I've got the parts and I know they work, I might as well stick with 'em.

Yes, 32 spline driver's drops were made, I would presume it was used quite extensively in the IFS heavy duty pickups.
 
Well I would say to use some bolts...although Bailing wire and chewgum could be fanaggled in somehow to help support it:wink1:

You will need one from a th400 that had a 208 or a 241 behind it.

So back to my original question, the 32 spline output on the TH400 is 241 specific and is NOT the same as one used in an NP205 or NP203 application...correct?
