AND they are very rare to find now-a-days. 241s are strong and have been reliable if there are no leaks and if there is a leak you need to take care of it right away. 2-1/2 qts of ATF can disappear pretty quick with a just a single drip. With the slip yoke kit, an input swap and a rebuild kit, you'll have close to 1000.00 invested into the case. Well California price anyways. I think when I was done I'm pretty sure it was at least over 900.00 in parts including shipping from various vendors. Then the rear driveline had to be redone. Be sure to get the slip elim kit with a yoke as they can come with or without. I procure from either Off Road Design in Colorado or JB conversions. Last kit I got from Ord, and it was a nice and complete kit

Sounds like an input swap and sye kit will be worth it in the 241 since I only have $100 in it as it sits in stock 27 spline form.

I picked up my nv4500 yesterday (it’s out of an 02 silverado 3/4 ton). It has a sticker on the side that had a date of 3/23/2021. Did some digging and emailed Zumbrota Drivetrain, they confirmed that it is 1 of their remanufactured units from 2021. Very happy with my purchase.
