Hello everyone,
I have an 05 CRD (242 transfer case)
My rear diff is being rebuilt today with a DTT and 4.10 gearing. I didn't think it would be an issue to drive with the stock 3.73 upfront in 2wd until I swap the front diff. I have a 4.10 front that I am having DTT put in for the front that I planed to install in a couple weeks. The mech doing the work today on the rear diff said he wasn't sure it would be ok to drive in at all not even 2wd.
Wouldn't it be fine to drive in 2wd?

You can have them pull the front driveshaft and you will be fine. Then replace when swapping in the new front diff.
I wouldn't want to rely on "I just won't engage 4 wheel drive" because you never know. Pulling the front driveshaft will guarantee no damage.
What lfhoward says, to be on the safe side, pull that front driveshaft and you can drive it around for as long as you want without any danger to the transfer case.
