Hey fellas has anyone experienced a jumpy tachometer needle?
Its in my rodeo wich is an isuzu really, it goes up when i turn to the left and down when i turn right, so its affected by gravity somehow and most of the time sits about 2.5 regardless of actual rpm, its annoying me!

fish

not quite what im after, that one is awd like mine i need the selectrack case, mine is low ks aswell but the awd is locked up.

fish

Still got that case?

fish

found this page and it makes it all pretty clear (as mud)http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f13/transfer-case-swap-info-np249-np231-np242-685644/ so judging by my tag i have a 249 made in aprill 97. so a 242 from that year should bolt right on and have the same shaft length. shit i hope im right. then a...

ive had an xj, and now own a zj. the xj was more fun to bash about and you can build them up prett easy. but i love my zj more. i found a tsi model in good nick and low ks. its a luxury suv for 5k, cant get that with any other truck, except maybe a range, but screw that.
jeeps rule.

fish

in light of the full cost i will now entertain the idea of a t case swap. have you done one tj?

fish

I have no concept of how that works. Ill need to research.

fish

right looks sound, i have no issue getting things from states, so far ive had no problems, only this being biger and more expensive, was wondering if there would be import fees or tax at our end? no sure how that works.

fish

awesome stuff.
there is a lot to condsider but i think i will go with option 4-4 it seems the least mucking around.
i can get one shipped here for around 5-6 hundred.
more than i would like but its got to be done,

I was a pickapart recently, there was a 1996 Grand Cherokee with the I6 motor here at the pick a part... their price is $209 for gbox & transfer, or 99 for just the transfer. As is, no returns etc. It would be cheap to mainfreight the transfer case only down there. I can go check the mileage/sp...

do you think repco could get one?

It sounds good but im keen to keep it simple and stay with the 249

fish

looking to fix my 249 transfer case. the vc is locked up. the fellas on the jeep forum claim a swap for the 242 is a good idea but i like the awd, anyone got a 249 or a vc i can buy? or know where i could find one?

my question exactly, if so i will do shocks with it as mine are spongy.
is there any real negative to a 1.5 - 2 inch spacer lift?

anyone had experience with this style kit? seems popular with the yanks and pretty simple. would this need a cert? thoughts. http://www.ebay.com/itm/JEEP-Grand-Cherokee-ZJ-2-Front-2-Rear-Lift-Leveling-Kit-1993-1998-PRO-/130671783479?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Make%3AJeep&hash...

fish

that looks awesome.

fish

ok, i think you could be right that its not completly locked but still not healthy. i plan to have the rear diff serviced as it has noise, sounds like a bearing. when i turn sharp on the hard top the front end sounds like bad cvs, :| but with a live axle there are none right, Im gonna wear it for as...

fish

Thats a great idea. Im considering a small fan hood vent combo. Last time I meesed wiyh the aux fan I couldnt get it right. It would not start when turned on. Never figured out why so I took the switch out.

fish

Isnt there a viscous coupling on the case that allows slip in normal circumstances? Iy feels like its locked. Right about the diff too
Its a 35. Pretty keen to swap it out for a 44 asap

fish

well i picked it up and i have to say im very happy. its the tsi model and is in mint condition. i love it. prett sure the transfer case is locked up as its skitty in tight circles and has some noise. but for the price its great. i dont know much about the quadra trac box so has any one had this? mi...

fish

i just picked up a Cherokee too, from previous experience, hood vents will be on the to do list pretty quick.

fish

Thats good info. Are the 35 and 30 limited slip?

fish

its a 97 with the 4.0
