Applications

Tech Note 1: Rear Output Shaft Types
2003-up Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks have two types of Rear Output Shafts. The most common type, which uses this shaft, does not have a integral, bolt-on output yoke. Instead, the female splines of the driveshaft slip yoke directly engage the output shaft splines.

Tech Note 2: Matching Parts
Matching parts for QU10996 Mainshaft are:
QU10930 Rear Output Seal
QU50261 Rear Output Bushing
QU50249 Rear Output Ball Bearing

Tech Note 3: New Venture/New Process/Magna
When Ford (1999 models) and Dodge (2003 models) first used NV271 and NV273 transfer cases, New Process Gear (NPG) of East Syracuse N.Y. was part of New Venture Gear (NVG). When NVG dissolved, NPG continued on under Chrysler. Chrysler subsequently sold the production rights to Magna, a Canadian automotive parts company. All these name changes are confusing, but the important thing to know is a specific assembly number for any 271F, 271D, 273D, and 273F transfer case is the same and uses the same replacement parts regardless if it was built by New Venture, New Process, or Magna.
