I'm pulling an 8.25 to put in my jeep to replace the D35 I have. My jeep has the NP231 case, and this jeep has the NP242. Can I pull the axle from this jeep, and then get a drive shaft from a jeep with an 8.25 and NP231? Its a dumb question, but wanna be sure. We almost have the axle out, that's why I'm not gonna start over on a new jeep. Thanks!

Also, do you need to remove the drum to get the e brake cable out?

Slick761

Yes that'll work fine. Only difference is the d.s. at the transfer case end and the d.s. length. you have to open it up to disconnect the e brake.

take the cables loose from the adjusting bracket where the cables go together and your d.s bolts right up

Slick761

Or that. Just take the cables with you.

just did this 2 weeks ago 160.00 dollars 8.25 29 spline with 4.10

Nice find. I let go of an 8.8 4.10 with discs and LSD I got as payment for a job... sold it for 50$ bout a year before I got the xj.....

Hey guys thanks. I ended up not getting the DS, but I'll go back and grab one.

And as for the brakes cables, I ended up just taking them lol. 90 dollars for the axle, drum to drum, and the cables.

OOdynamite

dbcox
