About This Unit
The NP149 (New Process 149), also known as NV149, was introduced as the OEM transfer case in GM’s full-time AWD SUVs and trucks from 2001–2007. Common applications include the Cadillac Escalade (including ESV and EXT), Chevrolet Silverado SS, Avalanche 1500, Suburban 1500, and GMC Yukon Denali and Sierra Denali. The NP149 was commonly paired with 4L60E and 4L65E transmissions and is known for its smooth, automatic torque distribution through a viscous clutch coupling.
Engineered originally with a light duty magnesium housing and a 2.72:1 planetary low-range gear ratio, the NP149 provides seamless AWD operation under all road conditions.Common issues with the NV149 include viscous coupling failure, leading to symptoms like grinding noises during turns or front tire hopping, especially after extended driving. These problems are often due to the coupling not unlocking properly, resulting in drivetrain binding. Our remanufactured 149 transfer cases address these concerns by incorporating upgraded components and rigorous testing to ensure durability and performance.
This GM transfer case is currently on sale — making now the perfect time to replace or upgrade your OEM unit with a fully remanufactured model built to exceed factory standards.

Return/Warranty Policy
Are Returns Accepted?
Certainly, you may return an item within 14 days from the date of purchase. However, returns are not permissible if the product has been fitted into a vehicle, or has been altered, modified, or damaged. Refunds issued will not cover the initial shipping fees, and the responsibility for the cost of returning the item to us, which may vary by location and carrier rates, falls on the customer.
Will there be a restocking fee?
To process a return with us, you’ll need to obtain a return authorization. Please note that a restocking fee of 10% applies to all returns. Understanding the complexities of drivetrain diagnostics is exhausting, but before making a purchase, please ensure that the issue with your vehicle is indeed due to the transfer case. If a unit has been mounted in your vehicle, it becomes non-returnable. We encourage you to thoroughly verify the need for a transfer case replacement prior to placing an order. Should you need to initiate a return, reach out to us within 14 days of receipt.
