Title: Lost 4 high
Post by: trappertrev on May 10, 2011, 10:55:07 PM

I lost 4 high in my 99 xj last fall. 2 and 4 low still work fine but I thought I should have a look at it. What t case options do I have if I need to replace this one.

You can swap a 242,231,241. I do believe.

Difference would be gearring?

231 and 241 are for part time 4x4 operation only, slippery, loose road surfaces.

242 will have a 4x4 full time option so you can run it on dry pavement without undue stress to the drivetrain.

So out of the 231 and 241 is one stronger then the other?

Cant tell you for sure but everything Ive read and heard, the 231 is a stronger transfer case.

Thanks for the info. It has 231 so if needed I'll rebuild that one.
