Budget Turbo Yukon XL Build: ECU is FRIED! Junkyard Parts Hunting + Tips To Identify Parts

What happens here

The creator searches through several sections of various junkyards for a manual transfer case. He specifies needing an NP241 or NP261 type, compatible with a 32-spline transmission (like a 4L80). He encounters several transfer cases but determines they are either the wrong type (e.g., from a half-ton truck, or an NP246) or are electronic shift models, not manual. Despite visiting multiple locations, he is unable to find the correct manual transfer case with the desired slip-yoke front driveshaft compatibility.

Goal: Find a compatible manual transfer case (NP241 or NP261).
