when you finish swapping your 249 for a 242, everything goes smoothly except for the VIC plug change. You test the zj first, 4wd works fine, no problems, nothing on the VIC, and you wonder why to bother changing the plugs behind the VIC. Say "Screw it, lets find out." you then remove the VIC, unplug the red plug and plug the black plug together instead. And poof. "service 4wd switch" rears it's ugly head and annoys the crap out of you.

so, having the wrong plug installed = nothing on the VIC, no warnings, no problems. plugging in the RIGHT one in it's place = annoying complaints and a sudden urge to throw out, then back over, the stupid VIC.

..when your glad your VIC went out before you did the swap, and never even thought of this problem!

One day I guess ill unplug the VIC and maybe put a cubby, but if its broke, and works fine for you...don't fix it.

Time for a bezel upgrade. Might as well if you are getting a locking cap anyways.

mine did that too, i ended up putting nearly 2 cans of the ac pro in mine before the clutch would stay engaged. Now it works pretty good with my new fan clutch. Although mine did have an ambient outside temp needle on the charge handle and it gave u a window of "good pressure" for what the outside temp was.

Remember to turn the can to the 12 and 3 positions while you are charging it or the stuff in the can won't flow out properly, honestly I just turn the can all angles as I'm filling without really shaking it

The first readings are generally inaccurate if you are low and will bounce around but will steady as it gets full
