Tech Note 1: Aftermarket
QU50480 is a basic NP205 Small Parts Kit supplied by an aftermarket company. It includes the minimum amount of parts needed for a low dollar rebuild. QU50480 is a good choice for cases that are in pretty good shape, but it does not include ALL the small parts! If you want or need a COMPLETE Small Parts Kit, see our QA2060 and QA2061 Kits.

Tech Note 3: General Motors 1982-1987
From 1982 to perhaps as late a 1987, General Motors offered a synchronized NP205 Transfer Case on 1 ton trucks with auto locking hubs. These synchronized cases use some special front output small parts that are NOT included in our Small Parts Kits. The easiest way to tell if you have a synchronized or non-synchronized NP205 is to look at the large, 8 bolt round front output, rear cover on the backside of the main case. With non-synchro cases, there is a through hole in the middle of the aluminum cover in which is pressed the front output, rear support bearing. The steel, 2-1/8" diameter, closed end bearing is easy to see in the center of the cover. Synchronized covers are solid and the 1-7/8" OD open end bearing is not visible to the outside, but you will be able to see the raised, solid area of the casting were the bearing is installed.

Tech Note 6: Selective Fit Snap Rings
Input Shaft End-Play on direct mount models and rear output shaft end-play on 1980-1991 GM units with slip yokes is minimized by the use of selective fit snap rings. You want to use the thickest available ring that will fit in the shaft groove with the ball bearing installed. There is no published specification for NP205 input or output shaft end-play. Typically, there will be a fair amount of noticeable end-play due to movement of the ball bearings in the case bores.
