83 DIESEL BLAZER 4X4 RUNNING GEAR?
« on: June 23, 2007, 10:35:06 pm »
Today I picked up at a very good price a non running 83 6.2 Blazer with Corporate axles and what looks like a turbo 400 trans. It has automatic front hubs. What is this trans and transfer case combo and is it any good???

Is the pan shaped like Texas or Fudgie the whale? Or is it rectangular? What does the tag on the Tcase say? NP208?

It is definitely the Texas shape pan like a turbo 400 can't see the tcase real well it was already dark out so it was hard to see. I will be able to check it out better in the light tomorrow. I just wasn't sure what a diesel would have???? It is an aluminum tcase with auto hubs.

It's probably the 208 but look at the round tag on the back side of the xcase

OK I was wrong it is a square pan but not a turbo 350 style a not a turbo 400. It has on the dash a shift pattern of D321.  Tell me what this is? It does have the round tag on the transfer case and it is a 208.

You have the 700R4/Np208 combination
