that's all i ever do, never taken it in to get aligned cause after it's lifted, the specs aren't the same. i just use some 1x2's that extend past the wheels and measure to align them, wear on the tires or normal, so i think it's good to go!

 

i'll probably be workin on crap this weekend, so i won't be able to get into some muddin mischief (gonna tear down my 242 t-case and get it up and running again, then put a the 185 degree thermo i had back in)

 

I'm dyslexic so I always forget but which transfer case is which? Is it 242 or 231 with the all time?

 

231 is part time, gonna take a lucky guess and say 242 is all time

 

My friend has a 99 classic with the selec trac system. So what's the difference between 4lo part time and just 4lo?

 

I have a 231 and mine is full time but mine is a and87 maybe that's why

 

it should be:

the np 231 (command trac) has 2wd, 4-hi part time (front & rear drive shaft spin at the same rate), neutral (dis-engages t-case from trans), 4-lo part time (same as 4-hi except a 2.72 low range gear)

the np 242 (selec-trac) has 2wd, 4-hi part time (same as 231), 4-hi full-time (differential between front & rear drive shaft so you can drive with it engaged on the street), neutral (same as 231), 4-lo part time (same as 231).

I swapped in a 231 for my broken 242 (broke the main shaft). but the 231 keeps popping out of 4-hi and 4-lo while i'm offroading, so i'm going to re-build the 242 i broke and put it back in. plus the 4wd indicator light doesn't work between the two. so i will just keep the 231 as a back up in-case i break the 242 again.

 

O ok i think my dash has been changed out maybe that's why it says full time but the t-case says 231with 27spline

 

Ahh I see. What would the advantage of 4wd on the pavement be? Just seems obsolete to me

 

Ice/snow on the road

 

well thats really convenient. i didnt know you could do it in your driveway haha.

 

4-hi full-time is fairly obsolete in houston (where we don't get ice/snow very often, lol), but i just hate the fact that my light doesn't light up in the dash with the 231 (since mine was wired for the 242 and they have different shift sensors). that and it keeps popping out of 4-hi and 4-lo, but i remember that someone told me that it was a shift gate issue. either way, 2 t-cases is better than 1 (in-case i break it again)

 

i may be goin to san luis pass this weekend if anyone is interested. just a day thing, some fishin & r&r

 

Let me know I'm only 20 mins down 45 from Galveston

 

anyone know where I can get my floorpan replaced for cheap? and paint job?
