zj issues.....
« on: September 04, 2012, 05:06:22 PM »
so i recently picked up another zj :) but its got some issues. while driving to work today the info center started blinking saying service 4wd switch. Is this the electrical connection connected to the t case? i am getting some binding in the t case during tight turns at low speeds and im assuming that its about to crap the bed, so maybe this is a related issue? is it worth swapping it out for the 242 select trac? i really loved it in my 4.0 zj.

Binding is normal for an older 247 tcase. You can keep driving the way it is. Just a bit annoying is all.
