NP231 Transfer Case Issues

This unit can have issues with premature chain failure, caused by running the NP231 transfer case on hard surfaces like concrete or asphalt, Run 4WD only on loose dirt, snow, mud, sand or grass as the different wheel speeds in turns can put excessive torque loads on chain and sprockets.

If you have purchased your vehicle used the very first order of business is to double check the tire diameters. Used car dealers may have mismatched the tires to make the sale.
