flooded vehicle trans/transfer case?
No anti-dodge sentiments please, I've heard them all already.
My buddy'* '99 Dodge Dakota has been my daily driver for a couple of weeks now, and the transfer case has finally given out. We've been having a heck of a time finding a used one. I've now found two sets of matched transes and transfer cases for a really, REALLY good price. Problem is, they're connected to vehicles that were totaled due to having been flooded. How badly damaged will they be?
Thanks

It would have been fresh water; we're in the midwest. I'll be tearing it apart and checking it out before it goes in Sounds like a lot of effort, but will save us $500+.
