99 s10 blazer from 4x4 to 2wd ?

[Nasty1]

The transfer case on my 4x4 blazer went out and will cost a grip to fix. My question is how hard would it be it convert it to a 2wd? I don't ever use the 4x4 because of my wall so I won't miss it. Thanks in advance .

If i'm not mistaken, all you would have to do is remove your t-case from your tranny, ditch the front drive shaft, and get a 2wd tail housing. Check around on some of the Blazer and S10 blazer forums though. You'll probably have to get a longer driveshaft too.

Thanks. I looked around and found that the frame from a 4wd is different from a 2wd. So just thinking of selling mine and buying a 2wd.

Yeah chevy has done that for a long time. Ford used the same frames for 2/4wd models up until the late 90's body change.

Depending on miles, you could probably do a straight trade if you could get it back close to factory. There is a TON of 2wd 4 door s10 4.3 blazers in Texhoma.

Yah I don't think that's going to happen. To fix the transfer case would be cheaper than going back to stock

you can get a reman on rockauto for about $650 after your core then swap it out yourself

repair the 4x... sell it, cover cost,,,,.. and buy a 2x .. yes,, .they are that much cheaper

I need to do something cuz I've been rolling around with out bass for about 6 months now.

I doubt the frame is different,
Can I ask how did you manage to blow up a np231? Those are pretty strong transfer cases.

But go to the junkyard and pick one up, those t cases are a dime a dozen

The frame is different. Chevy has used different frames for 2wd trucks because they've used a different front axle setup between 2wd and 4wd since like 74, A-arms with coils on each side. Ford didn't have to until the 97/98 body style change because Ford either used a solid axle or a Twin Traction Beam on the 4wd trucks, or a Twin I Beam setup on the 2wd trucks.
