Anybody know where to get them for a dana 18 twin stick transfer case? ive looked around a little bit but havent found anything

2pwrlftrs4u · Aug 8, 2007

IIRC the D18/D20 is gonna be 3.15:1 the D300 has the 4:1 kit

tera low, look in the PBB in the vendor section

You're out of your mind if you blow that kind of money in a Dana18 :eek2:

BTW, Dana18's aren't twin-sticked. Just because they have two sticks doesn't mean jack. They CAN'T be twin-sticked.

How so? Mine has one stick for hi low and one for 2WD and 4WD

What would you suggest replacing the 18 with then?

Replace with a Dana 300 or some new blinging aluminum thingy.

Twin sticks means front only drive. Can your Dana18 do that?

Easiest would be a Dana 20. It will bolt right on, and is twin-stickable. You can even use the gears out of your Dana 18 (and one from a Bronco case) to make the LR ratio more bearable.

Better would be a Dana 300.

No matter what you replace it with, you'll need to toss that goofy offset rear axle and go with a centered one.

If it were me, on a limited budget, I'd get a T18 and put the Dana 18 behind it. You'll get a way better crawl ratio improvement with the granny gear than you will with a 3.15:1 gear set, the tranny will be essentially bullet proof, and you can still easily toss a Dana 20 on later.

Your reading comprehension sucks. Stay quiet noob.

mumblewood · Aug 8, 2007

Thought they had a 231. 241 is diesel and 1-ton truck stuff....

Same story though... I don't think you can do a true twin-stick on them.... but they make a great base for a doubler

T18 is a heavy duty 4 speed transmission. Some have a nice 6.32:1 first gear.

The Rubicons have an NP241R in them.

Since when does twin stick mean the capability of front wheel drive only? Seems to me, twin stick means twin stick... front wheel drive only means front wheel drive only. :redneck: :flipoff:

And of course that's the only version I would be talking about

We've sort of hijacked the term. In math class, I'm sure "twin-stick" is a generic term meaning "two sticks". However, on this here wheelin' board, "twin-stick" is short for "true twin-stick", which is the ability to make your transfer case do pretty much anything :flipoff:

Without the front drive capability, there really isn't any reason at all to even mention the number of sticks.

Twin-stick-without-front-wheel-drive-only (that's a mouthful!) does have a benefit, though. Rear wheel drive low range. Locked front and rear, tight switchback, need low and tighter steering... Rear wheel drive low...

True-twin-stick gives you that, too.

IMO there is no reason to run a case that can't do true-twin-stick. That rules our chains

rb

and offset rear output

rb

cases. There are plenty of cases available that offer true-twin-stick-ability. The only things those "other" cases are good for is pavement pounders and doublers. Oh, and paper weights
