Sorry, I did not think about that, not sure what the output difference is between those two.

the dld is the lighter duty version, most of the times found behind automatics but some manual trucks escaped with them, especially in the early 2nd gen 12 valves 5 spd trucks with the stand package, the manuals with the camper/towing package usually came with the heavy duty version or the DHD but again, i have seen a couple with the light duty one, but thats rare.

Um, the 205 is part time. The 203 is a fulltime chaindriven unit, you sure you have the 205? I ran the 205 in my 79 truck and bronco and they were part time. Not trying to start anything but on the back of the t-case should be a round cover with three bolts. Dead giveaway to the 205.
