To know for sure, you need to:
* Identify the exact model and trim level: (e.g., 1998 Chevy Silverado 1500, 4x4, vs. 1999 Chevy Tahoe, 4x4). The year is only a small part of the equation.
* Find the transfer case part number: This is the most reliable way to determine compatibility. The part number is usually stamped on the transfer case itself.
* Compare part numbers: Use online parts databases (like auto parts store websites) to compare the part numbers for both transfer cases.
Without this specific information, anyone giving you a yes or no answer is just guessing and could lead to a costly mistake.
