NV4500HD to NP205
 

I'm planning to swap a 12v into my 78 K20 sometime soon. I'm definitely gonna use a NV4500 trans. I'd really like to keep my NP205 transfer case. Does anyone make an adapter to mate the 29-spline NV4500HD output to the NP205 32-spline input? I don't wanna use a divorce mounted case. Seems like two more u-joints to worry about breaking. Also, I don't wanna use the Dodge transfer case because I'm affraid of durability issues with the chain-driven case. Any advice guys?

Have you checked with Advanced Adapters?

Run a late chevy nv4500 with cummins input shaft, retainer, bellhousing and clutch. 32 spline out.

use an 89-93 dodge cummins 29 spline no205. theyre cat iron gear driven and heavier than hell. you wont break one.

good call, I think I just keep forgetting about the 29 spline 205 since last time I actually found one I couldn't get it for less than $1,100.

Does the Dodge NP205 have the passenger side front output? I've already got a kingpin D60 front axle from a military K30, and I really don't wanna have to swap it. Thanks for the tips guys.

89-93 dodge cummins np205s (have to be from a 5 speed for the 29 spline) are passenger side drop gear driven np205's

Perfect! Now I just gotta find one. Thanks for the help guys.

any one know what mods are needed to convert a 1997 chevy nv4500hd to work in a 1992 dodge diesel truck with a dodge np205 transfercase.

A dodge mainshaft, bellhousing, hydraulics, 5th gear, 5th gear nut, 5th gear housing, input shaft bearing retainer, and input shaft.

I know this is an older topic but wouldn't it be easier to source a 29-spline input shaft for your NP205 ?

And I imagine you could get one built if they can't be found ...a buddy of mine is having a custom input shaft built for a D300 to mate it to some Mercedes transmission..we can do it over here, should be easier in the US :humm:

this wont work as the input bearing on the dodge getrag 205 is larger.. and the front adaper is different... now you could bore the 205 case out and convert it but it would be easier to just find a manual 205 from behind a cummins...
