Noob here. Been searching the webs for the past 2 hrs and can't find the info I need. Hopefully someone here can help.

I just acquired a 2002 P38. The tranny was run without fluid and burnt up the internal wiring harness. While removing the T-case, we took the case apart to inspect the chain. It can move up and down about 3/4". It seems about border line needing to replace and thought why not now since it's out. I was looking for a new chain and found two part numbers: STC3238 and HV-083. The STC3238 seems like it's for the 98-02 NV225 and the HV-083 is listed for the 03-05 NV225. I've seen where the 03-05 NV225 has some differences in the CDL and maybe some sensors, but it seems like there are no differences that may not affect the drive chain. The HV-083 is ~$80 while the STC3238 is ~$650. Does anyone know if the HV-083 chain will fit the 98-02 NV225?

 

That’s a big price difference. I wish I knew the answer. Maybe you can check out some of the suppliers in the UK, like Paddock Spares, LR Direct, Island 4x4, Rimmer Brothers. Hopefully you can find a better price. I order lots of parts from the UK. I’m in Canada, so not quite the same as the US, but shipping is quick and not terribly expensive.

 

I'd send a email to Ashcroft.
