Hey everybody, it's been a while, and life hasn't been great. Last year I got in an accident with my jeep, busted up the frame n body. I figure I have to get the frame straightened, but then I also moved accross the country, Manitoba to British Columbia, and there's no way it's passing a...

Hey guys, It's been a while since I've posted here -- normally I can subsist by using the "search" function a whole bunch to get answers to my questions, but I want to get a few other voices in on this before I make a decision. Long story short, my other half and I are selling our beloved ZJ...

Im not too familiar with the 242's. Im a 231 guy. For some reason, my 4Low only works in forward, but no such luck in reverse. I went under and adjusted my linkage, but still no luck. I went to put it in 4High Part time to try reverse but still no luck. I put it in 4High full time and got it to...

thinking about doing an t case change just wondering thoughts about switching them and any other problems that went along with them and should i get new or junk yard pull and buy an rebuild kit ? since im going to have to open it up to replace the spline input shaft ?

I swapped in a 242WJ from a 01 i6 a few months ago. Everything went smoothly other than a vibration, mostly due to the case being long and drive shaft angle. Lately the vibration has increased and I am getting slight whine under 35 mph. Not very loud and all the time the vehicle is rolling...

I have a 1993 grand cherokee with a 249 and I have found a 1989 242 that I am looking to purchase. My question is, does the 89 242 have the same type and connector for the speedometer. My 249 has gears connected to wires and I don't know what the 242 has. It looks like it might have a...

hello i have a 98 5.9 I'm trying to find a 242 to swap in. my buddy has one in a 95 or 96 XJ but from what i have found online if its a 95 it has the shorter 0.750" input and if its a 96 it has the right input but the 1 piece rear output with the ESY (sound right?) he thinks its a 95. we haven't...

Of course I have the Selec Trac tc in my 04WJ. I has the "Full Time" setting. My first question: Do they really mean full time, as in I could leave it in indefinetly? Months, years, forever? Or is it more like a few days continuous? I notice when its in there my mileage doesn't change or suffer...

Here's the story, me and the girl friend split, and she agreed to go quietly if I gave up one of my vehicles (It was that or the home) and so I am gonna give up the Jeep. It needs a Transfer case though before it will roll away, so here I am asking questions. (I am keeping my damn bumper and...

I did the 4.0-->v8 242 tcase swap (still working on the write up), I've driven about 600 miles, 30-40 miles off-road with it with no issues whatsoever, until this morning. On my way to work, I shoved the lever from 4FT to 2WD, and when I came to a semi-quick stop from 30mph, i heard what seems...

Ok. I'm in the middle of a 4.0 swap into my 89 YJ and I have found a lack of actual "complete" wiring diagrams. I have a 97 XJ fsm but it's nothing I haven't found online. Basically at the end of this I want it to be the most complete swap thread anywhere with step by step instructions like...
