I was wonder how hard it would be to switch my transfer case to a np 231 and what else I would have to change out

XJ-92

the shifting linkage i think

Any clue how much that would run me. Or how hard of a job that would be?

XJ-92

well if your looking to get a used one around me u can get them for about 150 or so. i have never done a swap so i couldnt tell u. y u want to swap

Look for one out of a Cherokee that is the same year model. The imput shaft changed in 1994. Do a search and you will pull up all the info that you will need.

I was told it's a better 4 wheel drive

i have a 242 and i love it and its also nice in the winter with having the full time.

woa woa wait.. you need quite a bit for the swap.. shift bezel, shift linkage, possibly a new input shaft.. I'm doing my first transfer case rebuild/swap.

BTW, you already have a GREAT transfer case!!! I'm sure people could get into an argument all day about a 231 being better (stronger) than a 242, but seriously bro you can't go wrong with what you have... AT ALL. Honestly you could probably find someone that would trade you straight across. What is the year/model of your jeep?

I have the crappy 249 t case, I am doing a swap to the 231. And yes, I bought it used for $150, but since I need to change the input shaft in it, I'm going to buy a master rebuild kit and rebuild the t case to make it basically new and heavy duty.

What's is the difference between part time and full time 4wheel drive?

One is part time while the other is full time? Full time is full on 4x4, all the time. Part time I believe only engages the front axle when a tire starts slipping? I'm not sure.

I have the part time and still works great
