I believe the NP 242H Tcase is full time 4x4... which is basically AWD...
spline counts may differ, so you might need to swap the input shaft to swap
it...

-4wd is designed for offroad, where the front tires turn slightly
-faster than
-the rears. Definitely not for use on dry pavement, where you'd
-wear out your
-transfer case extraordinarily fast. AWD on the other hand, is designed for
-onroad use, where all the tires turn at the same speed, and a front/rear
-differential is included.
