Ford NP273 Transfer Case - Dodge Input Shaft Swap

Tools I use:
Milwaukee 3/8" M12 Impact (bare tool) - amzn.to/3Etyxyt
Milwaukee 3/8" m12 Impact (kit) - amzn.to/2ZuUDBe
Milwaukee 3/8" Ratchet - amzn.to/3Bp4ru3
Milwaukee 1/2" Impact - amzn.to/3GtNUIU
Milwaukee Flashlight - amzn.to/3EtzeI5
Milwaukee Fuel Combo Kit - amzn.to/3w0ZVRq
In this video I show you how to swap an input shaft on a Ford NP273 transfer case. I swapped in a Dodge 23 spline input shaft so that I can use my 47rh transmission with this Ford t-case for my 2008 "Fummins" Build.
Dodge trucks with the Cummins diesels use the same NP271 and NP273 cases, so this process will be the same with those trucks.
Swapping the input shaft involves completely tearing down the transfer case, so even if you are not swapping the input shaft you will learn how to disassemble and reassemble this case.

[@one4x4nut]

Well that looked pretty easy and pretty much confirmed what case I’m gonna put in my 1500 dodge off-road build. Tired of breaking 231’s and the rear slip.

[@mikeh6583]

Thanks for the video! This is exactly what I was looking for. Have a 2007 f-250 with a 12 valve. 5r110 just took a crap today. Going with a 47rh, was trying to decide if I should use Dodge t-case or see if a Dodge input would fit the Ford t-case.

[@j-bobsgarage7535]

No problem, couldn't find very much info when I was doing it so made this video for everyone else that wanted to go this route. Working perfect so far, no leaks no problems

[@zacharyday581]

[@DirectCurrent4u]

Nice video! Keep up the great work! Thanks for sharing...👍

[@wayne3546]

What are you going to do with the adapter play the fly wheel that went to the Ford transmission

[@servantofyahuwah2486]

Can i swap both the input and output shaft so i can convert the 271f to be a 271d? Thanks

[@tommymabb8454]

Anyway you can explain to me how you got that transfer case extension housing off?

[@chrisberlin-nm6si]

I’m sorry but is there a link to the gear you bought? I’m doing the same conversion, also any drive shaft mods? Thanks

[@travisyounker5315]

Hey so what if my outer synchro ring broke the 3 tabs what would happen

[@cahanloh899]

So the Ford and Dodge use the same front case half on the NP273?

[@coalstang]

how did everything work out. I’m looking at doing the exact same transmission.

[@j-bobsgarage7535]

Still holding up no problems

[@lokemaule1]

is there any fitment issue with the ford front t-case to the dodge transmission?

[@j-bobsgarage7535]

Nope fit perfect. Just need a seal spacer for the output seal on the transmission otherwise atf will leak in between the tranny and t case

[@601035202]

I’m curious what this spacer is that you’re referring to? Looking to do the same thing but to a nv4500 soon.

[@laddstewart8936]

You don't need to take that big snap ring on the ring gear off

[@kirillanderson2872]

[@wayne3546]

[@robertmoran6899]

[@robertmoran6899]

Or just move it farther off the table. So the shaft wasn't on the table

[@melissaolivares394]
