Sweet, what are you racing?

I thought that the NV136-equipped units would be harder to get to run right after it was in? VSS-trickery, AWD check-engine lights and so forth? I'm in CA, and Smog is a constant headache. I really wanted to find one with under 100K miles on it, so being able to nab a newer one would make the hunt ...

Thanks SoCal, where you at?

I'm just north of Santa Clarita.

Welcome! For what you want to do you can look for any AWD van 1996 and newer. You are going to want to switch to a 2 speed t-case anyway so the NV136 t-case being more prone to failure means nothing. Throw in the 4" lift and 31 x 10.5" tires, trim the front bumper and rear pinch weld seam...

So does anyone have a picture of the adapter?

Is it the 5-bolt Texas pattern? Or 5-round?

Thanks again.

I found a 2002 AWD Van near me late yesterday for sale. It had the 4.3L V-6 engine which I've loved for a long time. Aside from that, I realized I didn't know anything about these vans, and started searching. Google and wikis only take you so far before you realize you need to talk to like-minded in...

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a 2002 AWD van and I'm researching it. I'm thinking if I do score it I'm going to want to put a 2-speed 'case in it, but I can't find anywhere what the input spline count on the stock case is. Anyone know? I already have a 23-spline NP231 laying around here and I'm wonde...
