if my transfer case has the two options for "part" and "full" time 4wd does that mean the axle has limited slip? it was in a 1990 wagoneer if that matters
thanks in advance

 

No. It refers to the transfer case. In full time, it's only locked and sending power to front and rear part of the time but not all the time. In part time, it's locked full time and always sending power to both the front and rear axle. This transfer case choice has nothing to do with the axles themselves

 

i know about the TC with that stuff. but something online was talking about how some would come with a limited slip? i wasn't sure if it was an option you could have or not. thank you though

 

Heres how you can check if your rig has limited slip and posilock. Jack your rear
Up and spin the read tires if they both spin in the same direction you have a posilock system if they spin in opposite directions then you don't. If you worried about traction control when you not in 4wd you can get a locker in your differential. Does you 4wd lever say 4 full-time?

 

The limited slip is not related to the tc, you could have either type of tc and have limited slip

 

Ita true the limited slip is in the rear differential and the transfer case sends power to all 4 wheels but if he has a np242 TC then although that's not a limited slip differential it will give him great traction

 

mine does not. the one the axle is off of does. i was curious because i gave this axle away and my dad was online and saw something about some of them having positive traction. so i was just wondering.

 

i still have the TC which one would you recommend? the one im currently using im not sure if its the 242 or the 231 but it does not have the full time option

 

if you have a full time 4WD option then you have a 242 or (selectrac)....if not then its a 231 or (command trac)

 

sorry to jack your thread but i have a 95 and it has 2wh-4wh-n-4wl is this the full time or part time? sorry again

 

Part time 231 transfer case.

 

thanks japple
