PS: it's not the rear end - I just had new ring and pinion installed which did not fix the growling sound.So my truck has a loud growling sound on the hwy around 55mph whenever I let off throttle. It improved with a new driveshaft, but did not resolve completely, so I'm thinking it's the T case rear output shaft bearings. I don't have the time or desire to rip the t case apart and rebuild it with new bearings/seals. I'm planning on going this route to circumvent the inevitable oil pump grinding problem.
My only question now is should I keep the electric shift or take this opportunity to switch to a manual shift T case?
BW1356 Transfer Case for Sale, Remanufactured Rebuilt
BW1356 transfer case sale. This is not just a rebuilt BW1356, this OEM replacement has been completely remanufactured with upgraded parts.spprecision.com
The truck is on 4 inch lift, 35's, stock motor, and will not see extreme rock crawling. I'm fine with the current low gear ratio and don't want to fork out $$$ for an Atlas.
Thanks for any opinions.

Parts are out there for the conversion. Tough to find. The toughest I had to find were bolts for the bracket, which the bracket mounts to the transmission and holds the shifter. The next toughest to find was the shift lever/arm going through the floor. I had to find a used transfer case that was in good condition and for the right price. Found mine out of a 94 F250 for 100 bucks with relatively low mileage.
Found my stuff from the good gentlemen on here (big thank you to all who helped me!), craigslist, and Bronco Graveyard had some parts too. Ebay has very few parts for this swap, with one guy selling a package deal on transfer case conversions (round 200 + dollars) on used parts that looked like they went through heck. Yet, you get the bolts needed.
Yes, stuff adds up though I won't deal with the electronic transfer case or hubs. The problems these things gave me
Stuff for these older vehicles is getting hard to find, if not they already are.
There is a difference inbetween the Broncos and F series trucks transfer case, just to let you know. Something with the front shaft or yoke. Nothing really big to stop going with the switch though.
Yet, that 700 dollar price tag for the electronic transfer case might be the easiest way out. Lots to go over while looking for parts and information.
