Well I finally pulled the trigger on installing a 4 to 1 reduction transfer case. Ordered it from my local dealer from GM. The case cost me $1339 delivered with no core so I could keep the old one. I ordered the one for the I-5 as it was $300 cheaper. The only difference being the rear housing has the heat shield installed on the alpha model case. It came with a new encoder motor and sensors installed. The parts to convert my case were the same price and would need to be installed so the new one was a no brainer.
I had the dealer install the case for $300 . That included labor, fluid and the gasket between the case and trans. No programming was required as the trans upshifted properly in low range and my locker is wired independently from the transfer case control system.
When the dealer installs the case , it has a 36 month-100K mile warranty parts and labor. If I installed it , there would only be a 12 month over the counter warranty. So again a no brainer.
On the old case , 2000RPM in 4th gear was 25MPH. New case at 2000rpm is 15mph. Cant wait to play with it in Moab. Six weeks to go.
