Haha.. You have a 231. The 242 has the option for part of full time 4wd. Are you asking if there's info on servicing one? If you are then it's pretty simple- change fluid. If your having issues with it, post specific info. There's lots of pretty badass upgrades for a 231.

VT is right, but I'll add this in anyways. There should be a piece of stamped metal on the rear-facing side of the transfer case, on mine it's round. That'll tell you the model and some other stuff.

SYE (Slip Yoke Eliminator) is a common one, but you don't have to worry about that unless you have a large lift, i think at 4.5 and above you need to consider it.
