RWD w/ Bad Transfer Case???

[jquest2]

Hey Guys

Need help here and I have a few questions.

I'm in the market for a Ty and I found one person willing to sell me one but ut had a bad transfer case. He says that the Ty will drive fine as a RWD truck. I'm just curious how long can you drive it like that?

Does it matter if you get an electronic controlled transfer case or do you need to get a manual?

What is the actual model or part number for a stock transfer case?

Here's the description of one I', looking at: This is a 4X4 Transfer case It has 272 ratio and the model # is 233c. It is out of a 98 s10 4x4 pick up truck. The truck had 55k miles. It had a 4.3 v6 with an 4L60E automatic trans. Will this work? If so, what modifications do I need to do?

How much does a stock transfer case go for?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

This place has the correct unit:

The unit out of the 4X4 won't work (unless you're planning some off-road use).

Remanufactured, goes for $850 (plus $250 core charge). Might find a used one cheaper. If problem is NOT in the viscous coupler, you can rebuild that one a LOT cheaper.

You could use an electronic T-case out of a later-model Bravada, but it's not a drop-in replacement. Custom electronics, drive shaft(s) etc.

If the T-case is already shot, you won't hurt anything driving it around with the front propshaft removed (except maybe the tread on the rear tires!)
