I'll try to get one this weekend and post it up.

I'm guessing we have the success of the Land Rover Evoke for styling on this one.

at this point as long as it is still getting me down the road I don't care what the hell it is.

we should get together I too seem to have a bit of a unicorn. I have what appears to be a 249 transfer case that has full functioning 2wd, 4wd part time, 4wd full time, and 4wd low.

Ok so I've been very busy and hadn't had any time to mess with the jeep, but the past two days I've been working on getting my transfercase drop in and took a minute to study the transfer case. It appears that based off of the photos and descriptions that at least the rear of my case is a 249...

sorry had family in for the weekend and haven't had a chance to look at it. I will say I drove it to pick up some take out after removing the front drive shaft and there was some improvement. I still have the low frequency noise while accelerating mostly around 30mph. I wound up ordering some...

You got that right. Maybe that should be the new window banner. "I just can't win" It's a Jeep thing you wouldn't understand.

I'll take another look at the tail shaft. Honestly at this point the only solution that makes any sort of sense is that the wrong tag got slapped on the case at some point in time. I have 2wd with out a doubt so there is no way it is an actual 249. To make matters worse after taking my front...

I'm starting to think that somehow the wrong id tag got screwed onto this thing. The case had date stamps and one says 98, then at the top of the rear case there is a string of numbers cast in and I've see a few pictures of 242 cases for sale and I'm pretty sure the numbers are basically the...

do any of the numbers cast into the case mean anything? Maybe the wrong tag was put on some how? If I change it out it would be for another 242 I live in Chicago area and need the option of driving around on the streets in 4wd. This is a DD jeep that most likely won't see any type of off...

Ok so now I'm really confused. I have the tag in my hand and it does indeed say 249. New Process Gear 249 J assembly 52098 916AB serial 11 4 97 3 ratio 272 to be exact. This is sitting in my 1998 cherokee sport with upcountry package. I've used every one of the 4 transfer case gears...

well my biggest issue is that i've seen conflicting descriptions of what the 249 is. In one post someone referred to it as being the same as a 242 but it had hardened shafts. But then I look on the ZJ forums and people are trying to swap their 249's for 242's and it seemed to me it was because...

Ok so the more I search I see that there is no way this is a 249 I will get back under and look at the tag a little closer.. I could swear the damn thing said 249.

I've bought Chrysler Diff Oil from the dealer before and it was green.

So I'm new to the jeep world and have a 98 XJ sport that had the upcountry package. I have installed a 3" lift and have been tracking down various issues and have now gotten to the point of drive line vibrations. So in looking at my transfer case to try to figure out what I want to do I look at...
