He said he rebuilt the transmission and cleaned the gears using vinegar soak and scrub... Isn't vinegar acidic? Doesn't it eat away at metals? Is this crazy or is it...

    NP 231 Transfer Case Upgrades?

    So my old NP 231 is growling at me after a nice weekend of playing in the woods. Time for a rebuild after a mere 188,000 miles. That said are there any upgrades that should be done or possibly a lower ratio available before I order parts and begin the rebuild? Any input it greatly appreciated!
