Before I go under my XJ yet again I wanted to blast off a thread for the possible culprits for my 231 SYE being stuck in 4low
I got her out there today for the first time after a 3 month wrenching hiatus I was doing off the home front on a hill at my buds house.(wife n neighbors hating on my rigs at an all time high these days )
I will never shore up a rig and do stiffeners and other suspension work on a hill again...
That said, today I rolled onto a new area with all that new construction excavator phase stuff going on and I had a ricer enthusiast riding shotgun.
He's nvr wheeled and when I told him to gtfo in the midst of a soft washed out descent he was like HUH? I wanted footage from outside the rig. Inside footage on a cell phone is almost always lame. So he got a few good vids of the XJ b4 we got high centered on some logs for like 45 minutes:looser:.
Anyways, prior to the failed bunny hopping I was barely able to keep the tcase in 4low and now its stuck in that gear.
I have the TNT LCA set up so it wasn't hit with anything except on the right arm adjustable nut area. I also have the Novak shift linkage kit so that will need a look definitely. It sounds like a cooked output shaft bearing IMHO. My SYE is an AA set up and I'd hope its not on that end. THe HP30 has all new internals and a True Trac LSD currently so....
I'm not a fan of chain driven tcases and I'm just wondering what you guys would look for initially b4 I go ape and crack everything open. Thoughts?
After the stiffies and the 6.5 lift that XJ rig was feeling gooooood; like better than the CJ gooooooood!
