Well i as some of you may have noticed i have a borg warner Tcase for sale and i had a guy inquire but his 02 had a NV149 is it possible to replace with a borg warner outta a 05 escalade...let me know guys thanks

 

I had already replied to your question on the SilveradoSS site, but just in case you only checked back in one area, here are my thoughts on the subject.

I would imagine it is very possible to do, but I also don’t believe it would function 100% correctly either. Both are 1-speed, full-time AWD units, but they differ in the way power is applied. As you may already know, the NVG-149 is totally mechanical in nature without any electronics involved. It uses a viscous coupler to split the power front to rear and vice/versa. Where as the BW-4481 is an open differential type, that works in conjunction with the ABS to control the split of power.
