Lost 4 high
« 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.

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.
I did a Google search for "hot trannies" but nothing came up about oil coolers  :o

Worrying too much about mpg with a Jeep is similar to worrying about your sister's virginity. An ok thing to be concerned about but...

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.
