Note: The RAVE contains exploded view diagrams of the two versions of transfer cases, with details.

From the RAVE workshop manual, transfer case:

General
The LT 230SE transfer box is mounted at the rear of the gearbox and transmits drive via high or low reduction ratios
to the front and rear axles via the propeller shafts. The high/low ratios are 1.211:1 and 3.32:1 respectively.
Transfer boxes fitted to this model have the prefixes 41D and 42D to the unit serial number. Prefix 41D denotes that
the unit is not fitted with interlock whilst 42D denotes that interlock is fitted.
Vehicles up to 03 model year –
Whilst similar to LT230Q transfer boxes fitted to other models, the LT230SE transfer
box has certain engineering modifications incorporated which are as follows:

l
Uprated torque capacity

l
Modified front and rear output and cross shaft housings

l
Intermediate gear bearing pre-load now controlled by a selective, non-collapsible spacer

l
Speedometer drive and driven gears not fitted for this application

l
Modified high/low sleeve

l
Modified front output flange and mud shield

l
Differential lock fitted to certain vehicles, but no longer driver operated

l
Fixed setting of differential lock warning lamp switch on vehicles fitted with differential lock

Vehicles from 03 model year –
The LT230SE transfer box is as described above for vehicles up to 03 model year
with the following modifications:
The following items are introduced on vehicles from 03 model year

l
Ribs added to main casing to reduce operating noise

l
Revised machining process for intermediate gears to reduce operating noise

l
Bearing retaining nut on the differential carrier has patchlock added to the threads

l
Interlock solenoid moved from main casing to selector lever assembly

l
Intermediate gears modified with machined internal shoulder and bearing circlips deleted

l
Driver operated differential lock

l
High/Low selector shaft fitted with spring assist

l
Existing differential lock switch replaced by 2 new switches of improved design with the additional switch installed
adjacent to the existing switch location.

Yes, you have the CDL t/case, just need to add some linkage and enjoy the extra 50% traction you will gain of road.

www.ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk/ has the shift linkage kit. this kit is based on the 03-04 style shifter. this style engages the dif-lock by moving the shifter sideways.

I also have a DI linkage that can be installed onto the transfer case in your truck. There are plenty of instructions on how to do the installation on the web. Before places like Ashcoft developed their kit, it was the only affordable alternative to the '04 linkage. My complete linkage assembly is $150 including shipping. If you have any interest in what I have drop me an email.
Cheers,
Paul
