350 turbo with 203. I want to keep my 350 turbo and get a 205 behind it? Please help.

When you do the swap, don't forget to keep the VIN tag off the old cab. I managed to loose the tag from mine and it turned into more of a hassle than I thought it would when I went to get plates.

Good to know, I hadn’t thought of that
Thank you

Clue me in! I see the 205 is the preferred xfer case on this forum. Outside of an easy offset repair kit for a stretched 203 chain why go to all the hassle?

Chain drives show their weakness when you're stuck in a mud hole and you're gunning it forward, then slamming it in reverse. That's when my chain broke. If you're not doing anything like that, a 203 is a good case and you probably won't have any problems, as long as you take care of it. 205 is just a much stronger, lighter weight case that can take more punishment.

Man I could tell you some stories about puking oil and guts. In southern IN we have the strip mine pits. A lot of fun, but great for breaking things! You come out of those mud holes with 44's spinning and hit that hard packed clay, a lot of times you hear a loud BAM!
