NP 247 issues
This thread is for all those who would like to ask something tech related and don't want to start a new thread or hijack someone elses, and for all those tech related questions you happen to ask in the big off topic threads. Me and some of the older members will answer every kind of question as long as it is TECH and polite.
P.S. for the newbs: stupid questions don't exist, there are only stupid answers. Feel free to ask whatever you want. "What is a Jeep?" is a good question....
EDIT: If your question is very common (eg: lift) please DO A RESEARCH FIRST and if you don't find the answer come back here, 75% of the questions can be answered within a 5/10 min browse using the "SEARCH" button on the black banner menu.
For any lift & tire questions go here first: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/all...go-here-10579/

I have a 2000 GC with same exact issue, did you find anything out? cant seem to find any answers. I guess it must be a rare problem

The symptoms you describe are commonly caused by the 'progressive coupler'. Located inside the transfer case.
I believe the only way to fix it is to replace the coupler.

Not a dealer part and I'm unsure of the requirements to replace it.

Old fart with a wrench
The case has to come out and split to change the coupler. And it is expensive. So much so that guys seriously consider installing the 242 case instead. Your choice.

Thanks for clarifying.
I recall many posts and write-ups regarding switching out the 247 and 249 to the 242 Select-Trac. Look for results from the jeep forums when searching.
I have the 242 in my XJ. It's actually a remanufactured one with HD chain from a Grand Cherokee, only problem is the 'shift indicator light' is out of sequence. Can't figure out how to fix it.
