Well....it depends on A) What transfercase you have (NP231 or NP242), and B) How much money you want to spend.

SYE's can be had for $150ish for the SYE and a driveshaft (The Rubicon Express Hack & Tap method), or a few hundred dollars more for a SYE that replaces the entire output shaft, with a new driveshaft as well.

If you have the 231, you have several options. If you have the 242, your options are really limited to about 2.

Thumbs up solved squeak

well , seems i have solved the squeak problem . changed the oil . reversed vehicle up steep bank . put in park , revved engine a couple of times . noise has gone .

only thing i can think of is oil did not get to the front top of engine ( cause of engine angle downward) but , still dont know what was squeaking . anyway , has gone for now . lets hope it stays that way . hope this can help someone in future with same problem
