So far the worst part of it is the cost! I think getting it in and running is going to be extremely simple. Right now my biggest obstacle is finding a damn transfer case that will work. Basically for a bolt in deal I need to find an NP205 from a first gen cummins WITH a 5 speed tranny (thats the kicker) to use the Dodge NV4500 thats the only passenger drop case with 29spline input. So if you do decide to do the swap, get yourself a chevy NV4500 with the 32spline output and finding a transfer case may be a little easier.
