I swapped the xfer case out for the nvg149, and used a 2004 Silvy SS right side axle shaft in the front differnential. The shift fork, and related hardware was removed. The rear drive shaft was reused without modification. The front drive shaft was swapped out with one from the gmt400 with the autotrac transfer case as it used the same slip yoke the nvg 149 does. I did have to have that shaft shortened by and inch and a half. The swap was really straight forward and easy to do. Having driven the sy/ty's and olds bravada's I appreciate true AWD.
Thanks,
TJ
