So, I'm not sure I am worthy of owning an M715. I have so much to learn. Thanks so much everyone for being patient with me. I now understand how a transfer case works. I told my mechanic all about my worries about the stock M715 gears being too low. I think he is using the NP241 because he already had it and doesn't like divorced transfer cases. But, I think it will fine, and I don't plan on getting stuck anywhere with 2.7x:1
