Are there two types of transfer cases for the 03-04 D2 with the 4.6?
Hi all.
I have a blown transfer case in my '04 HSE and am looking at picking one up with 80K miles off an '03 from a recycler that seems to know their way around these vehicles.
However, the guy on the phone from the recycler asked me if I needed one with the "lever" or not.
I have no idea what he was referring to and neither did he -- he was just reading from their description in the database (it is apparently already off the vehicle and on the shelf).
Any idea what he may be talking about? The RAV doesn't say anything about different versions of the transfer case, only that the '03-'04 is different from the '99-'02 (presumably because the transmission is bigger in '03-'04).
Any guidance here before I go to pick up the transfer case would be helpful here.
Thanks.

Wow, thanks everyone for the education. I could've made a big mistake, thanks for saving me from that.
As I believe that my problem in my transfer case is with the front driveshaft output and this appears to be the "nose cone" of which you speak, swapping it onto an '03 doesn't seem like a smart idea for me, right?
Guess I will have to keep an eye out for an '04 as I am not up for figuring out whatever "mids" are required to make a '99-'02 fit.
BTW, since it sounds like all you you have done a transfer case swap, how hard is it? One day to get it out, one day to get it back in? It seems like an awful lot of steps in the RAV..
Fortunately, I have a friend who has a lift at his ranch that I can tie up for a weekend or more. What does the transfer case weigh?
