Worth rebuilding an NP208

[nsxxtreme]

I know my transfer case is pretty worn. Makes all kinds of noises on the freeway. Is it worth rebuilding these yourself? Anyone know a decent place you can buy a rebuilt one for a reasonable price?

Do it yourself! Those are real easy. Just take your time.

i have heard people saying good things about this place.

just have to pick the right parts you need. i would give them a call. they should be able to put a kit together for you for your rebuild. they have all the little parts to.

NP208 rebuilds aren't real expensive, last I saw replacing the chain almost doubled the cost.

They're so common, I'd look pretty hard at a good used one. They are pretty good, longevity wise, without really big tires.

NP208 isn't a bad t-case. I paid $600 to have mine rebuilt (didn't have time to deal with it myself) and it works great.

I gues what I am seeing is bearing kits for around $120 and new chain for $75. So that's a complete rebuild for under $200.

If I found a rebuilt one for under $400 I'd probably just buy one. But it looks like most people want $600-800 for a rebuilt np208. At that price I'd probably just do it myself.

I'm not worried about the complexity. I do however value my own time. If it were reasonably priced I'd probably just buy it. But I'll probably just end up rebuilding cause they just want to much IMO.

Yep... Way cheaper/better value to rebuild... Imo.
