I don't have a picture, but I do have the memory of driving our 83....

4-HI

Straight forward and back, no pull or push one way or the other. Straight back from dash to seat.....

4LO

Know which t-case you have? NP205, NP208? Would only be a NP203 if it's full-time 4x4, drive slugs in the front hubs, but being an 80+ those are the only 2 that were offered.

This comes up in a search for both the NP 205 and NP208. I couldn't recall if they were the same.

Nope, 100% certain our 83 was shifted as posted. Drove that truck fro many years, and since it was a Manual Transfer / Manual Lockouts it got shifted at least once a month for maintenance.

I had a Durango and it shifted like yours did, but the transfer cases may have been different, it was in the middle of the Bullnose run, but 83 was a change year for the trucks. Some minor cosmetic changes, add the diesel, etc.........

If its diesel, it should be a BW 1345 or 1356. If thats the case, it will shift like Scott said.

 

[DaveBen]

OK I will believe you guys. Thanks.

My diesel 86 had a 208 when I bought it and I replaced it with one. On mine it's still 2 hi, 4, n, 4 low

Look at the t-case. If it's cast iron, it's a New Process and shifts like the pic I linked to. If it's aluminium with lots of very noticeable ribs, then it's a Borg & Warner and shifts as such (previously mentioned above by others).

2wd
4HI
N
4LO

Could be aluminum np208. I had one of those from a bullnose diesel in my 89. Had a big circular disc on it that said np208.

Good catch! All the New Process cases I've seen, Dodge and Chevy included, have a nice round tag on the rear of the case ID'ing them. Most of the time they are found very dirty.

Probably not the greatest idea. Lube pump is driven off the rear output shaft, if its not spinning there no oil being pumped to the top of the transfer case.

Your right, it appears as though they used NP208's behind the C6's up to 1986!
