Applications

Tech Note 1: Assembly Numbers 
QU11464 will replace the original 29 spline Input Shaft  on these Dodge NP241 transfer case assembly numbers: 52105024, 52105027, 52105092, 52105314, 52105336,  52105370. Note: 1999.5-2002 assemblies with AB, AC, or AD suffix (ex. 52105027AB) use QU10889 wide bearing input.

Tech Note 2: Planetary Tooth Cut
Many early production (1994-1995 and possibly some very early 1996) Ram 2500, Ram 3500 4x4 trucks with New Process NP241DLD and NP241DHD transfer cases have a wide cut planetary gear set. While the planetary gear tooth profile is visibly different than narrow cut teeth used through 2002, the diameters of the 3 pieces (Input, Planetary, Annulus) are also slightly different. See Help Article IDN-400 for more information.

Tech Note 3: Input Bearing Width
1994-2002 Dodge Ram NP241DLD and NP241DHD Transfer Cases were built with input shafts using either a narrow (5/8” wide) or wide (15/16” wide) Input Ball Bearing. While a narrow bearing cannot be used on an input made for the wide bearing and visa-versa, the combined matching bearings and shafts are totally interchangeable. For example, If you are doing a manual transmission swap on a 1998 Automatic transmission equipped Cummins powered truck with NP241DHD Assembly number 52105027, you can replace the original QU50640 input shaft/QU50874 Narrow Bearing with QU10889 29 Spline Input/QU50873 Wide Bearing.

Tech Note 4: Pilot Bearing
The Bearing Bore for the Input to Mainshaft Pilot Bearing is 1-5/8". For Dodge Ram NP241 applications, order EITHER X10000 Mainshaft Front Pilot Bearing + QU50083 Cup Plug OR QU50114 One piece Unitized Input Needle Bearing. An optional steel adapter ring for using this input with smaller transfer cases like the NP231 will be available soon.

Tech Note 5: Transmission or Transfer Case Swaps
One of the more common swaps people do is to install a NV4500HD 5 speed or NV5600 6 speed manual transmission in place of an automatic in their Diesel Dodge Ram 4x4. To do this requires changing the input shaft from the original 23 spline to a 29 spline. If you have a 1998 or 1999 241DLD or 241DHD with an 8 digit assembly number (no letters), this is the 29 spline shaft to use. For 1994-1997, it is not so cut and dried. These years had a total of four possible choices depending upon the input bearing width and cut of the planetary gears, so we have to have the transfer case assembly number to verify what input shaft you need. This Input Shaft was NOT used on any 2000 to 2002 model year application. See QU10889 for those years.

Tech Note 6: Replacing 23 Spline with 29 Spline
If you are replacing a 23 spline automatic transmission or NV4500LD with a 29 spline NV4500HD or NV5600 manual transmission, use this 29 spline input shaft if your transfer case assembly number is one of these: 52098151, 52098153, 52105023, 52105025, 52105026, 52105028, 52105091, 52105093, 52105315, 52105335, 52105368 52105369, 52105513.
