How to ID a geared TC?

Howdy everyone:

I have a good low mileage transfer case out of a 94 truck with R150F. It has the top shift. How do I tell if it is a geared case or a chain driven one?

Thanks!

Jim

R150F was behind a V6 3.0, correct?

If so, you have a chain drive case.

Here is how you tell for sure... courtesy of www.marlincrawler.com.

"If you have 7 bolts in the rear cover then you have the gear driven unit.
If you have 5 bolts holding the rear cover then you have the chain drive unit.
Bolt #7 is behind the drive shaft and can't be seen in this picture."

OK, it's got 5 bolts so it's a chain. I wasn't sure what truck it came out of--all the junkyard told me is that it was a 94. Must have been a v6. THANKS!
