Doing this on my 99 K2500 7.4 4L80E NP 246 suburban now. Got a NP241C from a 90 1 ton (I think) and this explains a lot of the wiring questions. Thank you! OH and nice job! Very clean and well thought out. 👍
Did the same swap in my '03 Tahoe 3-4 years ago. Fairly easy swap. Did it on my garage floor. Best mods was helping the front diff with 4x4 PosiLok and trashing the 4wheel drive push button panel and replacing it with the pretty useless cubby from a 2wheel drive truck. Zero issues since the swap but would really like to slip yoke eliminate it. The only upgrade that I'm aware of with the np241c. Nice to see other people doing this swap. The autotrac SUCKS!! Edit: you grabbed a useless cubby too. Nice!! Nice job on your harness too. I was able to get everything wired properly except for the front diff.. hence the cable engagement. Once less mess of wires and I do like the 4x4 posilok
How do you get the service 4wd message off or do you just have to deal with it? The 246 has 2 sensors that show speeds of the input and output shafts. Would love to do this conversion on my wife's 99 GMC Sierra but I don't want that stupid message on all the time.
@@michaelhodges9951 yes. So all 3 of those wires are grounds. Terminal A is where the ground is coming from. When the shifters goes into 4 Hi, it sends ground through terminal C to the front differential to engage. The front diff has constant power running to it but needs to see a ground signal. When it goes into 4 low, it still sends that ground through C to the front diff, but also sends ground through B to the ECU, telling it to make the shift points closer together.
thank you you are the best i've been looking for this for almost a year

Good info man. You definitely did your homework on that project. Cant wait to see the sas video!
Thank you for taking the time to make a great video
Answered so many questions for me! Thank you!
Happy to help!
Could u do a in line switch with the 4lo, cutting and connecting the circuit with the on off
Did you have to modify anything on the driveshafts? I am assuming you just swapped in the front driveshaft that was in the donor truck.

LT Tolman removed the fuse. NP246 to 241 swap OBS Chevy, Complete how-to
Thanks!!! You are a great man!
Im trying to source a 241 T-case, do you know what year trucks those come in so I can try and source one out of my local junk yard.
Thanks for the information.
Are all gm np241 parts interchangeable? 90,91 suburban , with 92 and up ?
Does this work with a 4l60 trans of a 1999 chevy tahoe?
What pin on ecm is looking for that ground signal?
Want to know is there swap that can be dun to eliminate my np 263 to manuall shyft
If you get a 241 tcase form a nv3500 it will have 32 spline
What does the B terminal on the 3 pin connector do?
Never mind. I found it. B goes to the ECU to send ground.
What does it send ground to ? Is the for the 4 low ?

Do you need do do the wiring to just have 2wd I did this swap using a 261 and it won’t shift past first because of the extra vss sensors
Nice job! What did the two piece drive shaft come out of?
I think a 1993 1500 suburban
Should have found a np261 to just bolt it in without swapping shafts.
