On the 4WD conversion, I'm assuming that you will offer the 4WD crossmember and driveshafts once you get them built? Also, on the T-case input gear, how much disassembly of the tranfer case is required, i.e., is it just a relatively quick bolt-on adapter, or will we need to take the case most of the way apart?
Thanks,

As far as the capability of the 1500 transfer case, I believe the Autotrac case is the NV 246, correct? Is so, then New Venture Gear's site lists its max torque as 2281 ft-lbs. For comparison, I'm pretty sure the 2500s get one of the following cases: NV 261 (2564 ft-lbs.), NV 261 HD (5430 ft-lbs.) or the NV 263 HD (5430 ft-lbs.). Anyone know which case the 2500s actually have?
These are max. capacity torque ratings, according to the web site. I'm assuming that means that there is some calculation involved in getting to input engine torque. . . Probably have to account for transmission gearing, torque converter efficiency, and torque lost due to transmission . . . also bet that the max. capacity number is based on the vehicle being loaded to its maximum gross vehicle weight.
Anyone have any idea on how to back out the max. input engine torque?

ecthelion has a good point. Now that we can do the swap how much can the T-Case hold before needing to upgrade to the heavy duty one.
