a 231J is a 231J just need to check the input shaft spline count. I have one form a 92 but its going to cost you as much to ship as its worth.

As stated any 23 spline 231 will work.

I'm in the market for one (maybe...depends on if it's an adjustment issue or a T Case issue)...and in my research here..

231 is the Transfer Case.

Has the # of splines based on the year (21 or 23)...

However, the J in the end is for Jeep...and as someone mentioned here, the 'same' transfer case in a Chevy would end in C or Dodge in D...and the bolt up to the trans will probably be different.

i would just source a junkyard or a guy off craigslist that is selling a cherokee for parts. you are sure to find one for a few hundred bucks, and while it is out might as well put a SYE kit on it.

Good, by the way the Chevy is a passenger side drop so it will not work.

You could take the internals from a Dodge case and swap them into your existing Jeep case if it is not damaged. Not sure if the Chevy internals are the same or not though.
