the D35 isnt what worries me :P thats just giving me more motivation to swap something better in!

however im skeptical that the tcase is actually bad, because ive never had an issue with it before, and i really havent beat on my rig for something like a chain to start slipping in it. when i got the SYE installed everything seemed ok in there, and it never gave me problems before. spoke to tyler about it, he said it could be my linkage that got messed up and it wont engage all the way. i will inspect it further once it warms up a bit.
 
Vince, I think I have a t-case found for ya if you need one. I am supposed to hear back today from the guy. I need to do a little research on the 242 for years of compatability. I will give ya a ring later today....

right on man! i just wish i could take a look inside to see whats really wrong with it, i would hate to waste money on a part that doesnt need replacing.
 
Pop your linkage off of the t'case shift lever. Manually shift the case into Full Time and try to drive it. If it works fine, adjust your linkage to match. If not, stick a fork in it.

i know the cause...

I ran over the sewer grate in my yard trying to get off the street with wet ground...came in to hot to control...caught the grate and busted a belt...with 14k pounds...had to unload the two jeeps and then could move it with an empty trailer...

i think that i justified the two place redheep...i used it btw 6 to 8 times this year...

mac 'least i didn't hit the fire hydrant' gyvr

It definitely makes you popular if you have other guys to wheel with.

I was never going to tow two vehicles again.

You still hate the bumper pull? It does leave your bed open.

i wouldn't say that I hate bumper pull...just not a big fan...it works, and it was affordable, i actually prefer to tow bumper pull because i think its more predictable than gooseneck...that said i've done lots more bumper pullin than i have gooseneck pullin...

two weekends ago i had the 2 place out and a buddy borrowed my single place and we all went to the badlands...

mac 'bed is still open for a truck camper :) 'gyvr

messed with the linkage today. def not it, problem is inside :tear:

anything that would be an upgrade for the 242? i figured if im gonna spend a couple hundred on a tcase, i can see if i can just put a beefier one in it instead of the 242.

I would just find a JY replacement and drop it in. Since you are working with a 242, you can't upgrade to a TeraLow. An Atlas would be $$. A 241 would take some fab work, but would be an option.

yeah atlas is wayyy over my spending range. i think a used 242 is the best bet i guess. although i have to pull out my SYE and swap it, no idea how to do it (had a shop "on and off road" in ohio do it)
 
A SYE swap would be pretty easy, as long as the output shaft is ok. If you're close to Tyler, I'm sure he would help you out.

Shop around on the classifieds, other forums (JF, JU, etc). You may find a 231 equipped with a SYE for around the same price as a stock 231/242.

that is no crap, I was finishing up my long arms last year about 24 hours before departure and Collin literally pulled an all nighter working on his rig and then drove all the way out there (well, all but the last hour where Jerm had to drive b/c Collin started to asleep at the wheel :D)

That was good stuff. I'm going to hope the same doesn't happen this year. Sleep is NOT overrated before an all day road trip...

yeah we were planning on building a rear bumper and swingout, but now it looks like were gonna have to figure out how to do the SYE. hes never done it on a 242 and ive never touched my tcase or anything before so i have no idea whats going on in there.
 
I cant see it being much different then doing a 231, and I have done about a half dozen of those...:dunno:
