Default Question about the compatibility of transfer case

Hi everyone, little question.
I have a 2009 Hummer H3 3.7L and it needs to be replaced with a transfer case. But I'm confused, some sites say that the 3.5L and 3.7L versions are all compatible? Can I use the 3.5L version? Thank you!

You can easily use any year H3 T Case for any year H3. You have to pay attention to whether you have the BW 4493 (2.64 low range ratio) vs BW 4494 (4.1 low range ratio - rock crawler) assuming you want to put the same one back in. All years use either the 4493 or 4494 depending upon model.

Great thanks for your reply, my last model is 4493, can I buy a 4494 model TC for it? I found a seller on eBay : https://www.ebay.ca/itm/304068853825...2Cchnl%3Dmkcid

Default 5.3L for 3.7L original?

Simple question: My transfer case needs to be replaced. My last one was a 4493 NR4 version, which was installed on my hummer h3 2009 3.7L base sport. And my local dealer has a 2009 5.3L, NR6 T/C. Will it work on my 3.7L NR4 hummer?

I know someone who swapped in a 4494 for a 4493 without issue, though technically from the factory the different T Cases also come with different Transfer Case Control Modules.
