My jeep only says part time when i put it in 4wd. Even if I pull it into low it still says part time. Is that normal?

 

I don't know about shortbeds. Mine's long, so that's what I care about
But I'd at least look into Hell Creek leaf springs. They have the same warranty as BDS: If the springs ever sag or break, they will replace them. You don't even pay shipping, and their prices are very reasonable.

 

I have a block and rotating assembly out of a 97 grand cherokee. Will the shortblock work in my 2001 cherokee xj? Just the block, obviously the head is different. from what I can tell all previsions are the same as the 2001

 

Post a pic of the damaged part and I will be able to tell if they can be repaired

 

alright ill definitely check em out

 

What kinda of t case do you have?

 

I thought only the 242 had full and part time? Or am I mistaken?

 

If you have a 231 (2, 4HI, N, 4LO), it should say Part Time when you're in 4WD and the light should go off in 2WD. I'm not sure how the 242 transfer case (that includes another position for 4FullTime) works.

 

The np242 has the full time option. This is for full time 4wd (4Full) and 4Hi and 4lo part time. The part time light lights up in 4hi and lo since it is intact only suppose to be used in certain aspect like slick roadway so you use it only part of the time. The np231 only has part time options and 2hi and the np242 has the full time option. The numbers mean something I forgot what though.

First Number: The number of speeds. If it is a
standard high range, neutral, low range transfer
case, the number is 2. If it is a single speed
with no low range, like a 133, it gets a 1.

Second Number: The size of the case, physically,
and has a lot to do with how strong the case is.
The case sizes current are: 2, 3, 4, 6, 7. With
22X series being the smallest and 27X series being
the largest.

Third Number: This is where it gets confusing.
The third number tells you what type of 4wd system is in the transfer case. Current systems
are designated by: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7.

 

What's better 3.5" leaf with two inch shackles or full 5.5 leaf?

 

You get more flex with shackles

 

Plus relocation brackets. It gives the longer leaf a greater range of motion so it can compress and droop.

 

That's what I Thouht, thanks guys

 

Yes. The head would work too, and probably be a good upgrade.
