I've never been a big fan of those xfer cases.
If he isn't in love with the NV243 can he swap it out to an NV263?
How nasty is the swap? As in how much other crap needs to be sourced to do it and will the PCM get terminally upset about it.
If it helps I have the 2001 Unit Repair Manuals in the Queue to scan...

Thanks hatzie,
So i spoke with a transfer case specialty shop. The transfer case I have is an np246. He said typically what ends up happening with clutch burnout is either wrong fluid, low fluid, never serviced fluid, or a weak encoder motor. He said what sometimes happens is it seems to engage fine but the motor fails to maintain the pressure needed for the clutch pack. Overtime, depending on how often you use 4x4, the clutches burn up. There are other issues with these cases as well such as “pump rub”.
This is exactly why these new gadgets are fantastic on new vehicles but for folks trying to buy something on the used market or keep their vehicles for the long haul will run into these issues once the system gets old. I certainly never had these issues with my old np203 and 205 equipped trucks!
$800 for a reman t-case and $300 for a new encoder motor.
