ok, you guys might ask why but,... ok, I have a 4*4 that the Tcase does not work, and I really right now dont think im going to use the 4*4 for at least a year or so if I get the money, can I take the front shaft out? or it does not really need to be taken out,, IDK if it make the jeep make more efort in moving, hense less MPG and power,, can some one enlight me on this,

sorry 4*4 newb question,,

 

You can remove the DS if your not planning on using the 4X4, and it should give you a "barely noticeable" increase in MPG. Hope this helps!!

 

it does, thanx that was the question,,

 

Ask us when you get ready to rebuild your transfer case. We can help.

 

that I dont know, man, bc here there is one good legal place to go wheeling at, and it on a Forest Park, that used to be a santuary for me, bc I was a Boy Scout, an all the summers I went there kinda like a jamboree, and the Consil sold 2 miles of it to a private company to make a offroad trail and they had to cut many many trees and Im all against messing up a 100 year old tradition and santuary for 40k, yes they sold it for only 40k, so I cant put a foot in that place , so till I find a legal good place to use my 4*4 I wont be needing to fix it.

 

Don't you have anyplace to run on the beach without running over turistas??

 

lol, well maybe, my moms family has a property down by the beach, but its a 2 hour ride, and well I dont have a wheeling body yet.. I dont wana go alone..

 

Just FYI...Normally a t-case wont stop working unless it stops for both front and rear. You may have a linkage issue.

The 231 and 242 are chain driven...thus if you have an issue with the front, you usually don't have any power going to the rear either.

You may have a simple fix by just crawling under the drivers side while someone moves the t-case shifter...You can watch what is moving and see if something IS NOT moving...Then fix it.

 

Rebuilt several and bouncy is right you can usually find a linkage problem. The chains will stretch and get loose but you can hear that slap.

 

last time, I went to the mech for that, he said he could manualy do it from under the jeep, but I cant from inside the car,, so its not a big problem.. I guess

 

Means that the case is OK just need to see whats wrong with the linkage.

 

so what are my options to check that out?

 

You need to get under it while someone else moves the lever. See what moves and what don't move. See if you can determine the cause of the linkage problem from that.

 

ok,,, well when I get the jeep back from the shop ill try and see.. hopefully on wednesday.

 

That's cool let us know what you find!
