I got a front driveshaft out of a 1990 XJ with a NP242 transfer case and a D30 HP. Will the driveshaft fit my 2000 XJ? My 2000 XJ has an NP242 transfer case and a D30 LP. The driveshaft looks the same.

maybe you should go 231 is another option...everyone says less parts and more support

The 2000 front driveshaft might be a little longer than the 1990 front driveshaft with the same engine/tranny combo, only because the 2000 is a low-pinion front axle. Measure collapsed length.

1- you would need all new driveshafts and yokes(t-case and pinions)chris420 said:The part number on the tag of the driveshaft is 53005542. According to quadratec that part number will fit all 1987 - 2000 XJ with an auto tranny and 4.0lt. Can anyone confirm this with me? I was also thinking of replacing the ujoints with 1330 ujoint's instead of 1310. Would the 1330 ujoints be a better choice? Would I have any binding problems with the 1330's?
