Hole in my np242
I have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee with an NP242. Replacing it I noticed a hole next to the link connection (Driver side) in between the transfer case housing and the front differential yoke. Not as clean as this okay has anyone seen this before. ? Did I lose a vent hose? Thanks for the responses in advance

yeah, you need to get a plug for it..i dont believe it will pour out, considering the top off point for the fluid, but it will slosh out will driving..it is an open hole

Arizona Parts claims they have 7 of them
OEM part number 0015105.
I tried a few Mopar parts on-line stores using that part number and they don't list it, so I think the dealer won't recognize that part number either.
The part number comes out of several years of XJ pars catalogs.

Note that the plug is 3/8" x .5". Before you get the actual part you may try getting a rubber plug from a hardware with those dimensions and install it with a bit of transmission fluid resistant RTV.

So the shop that I had do my flex plate replacement found that plug was missing and I was down to about a 1/2 quart of fluid. He tapped it for 1/8" pipe thread and put a pipe plug into it. No worries about some rubber plug falling out anymore.
Just another idea.

^^^ not a bad mod to tap it like that.... keeps it in...and can still unscrew it for the rare occasion you need to.
