Transfer case question

[libertybob]

Are '02 & '03 transfer cases the same unit? How durable are these units? Should I bother to secure a spare from an '02 for my '03 4x4? The '02 has a 45RFE trans and my '03 has a 42RLE. Do these trans use the same transfer case? Thanks

you picking up parts for just in case moments?

Yes they are the same transfer case.

In my 6 years here I've never heard of someone having to replace a transfercase. Now that I say that, mine will probably spontaneously combust today.
