Okay i have a '99 xj with a np231 "j" transfer case, it's going bad. Does the "j" mean anything different than any other of the np231's? Also can i upgrade to the police package transferecase, the 242? And/or what would i need to do if i wanted to put the 242 in?

J means jeep. I would stick with the 231. But that is my opinion.

Sure you don't have an HO nipple on there? Ho is 3/4 and REnix is 20mm.

Early HOs face straight up. Was the first filter a 1085?

My stp one never gave me issues, did some research and they're under new management. I'll keep it and eventually change to something else.
