hi all, Sorry to bother you I tried a search and can't seem to find anything.
what is the difference between Command-trac and Trac-lock?
do either of them truly "lock" it up? which one is better?
thanks for your help

Command trac is jeep's name for the four wheel drive system with the 231 t-case. Trac-loc is a limited slip differential. For instance my xj has both.

The np207 tcase was used in the early xjs, 84' to 86' xjs I think were the years

Is that a question?

If so, the NP207 was found in 84-86 XJ's and the 87 YJ.

Isn't the second number the strength? So it is very weak

Car talk makes for an even longer amounts of conversation! He's a cool guy, just talks a hell of a lot.

Where at in Illinois are you at?
I'm up the Rockford area.

And I noticed you have an 86, you got the 207 and the 2.8?
Yep, 207 and the rocket turd.

If this was the case a 207/208/228/231/242 etc. would be stronger than a 205. The 207 isn't the worst and nowhere near the best case in the world. I wouldn't say it's the beefiest t/c, but it's not going to break if you look at it funny. The "stick in the can" driveshaft is also a PITA. I'm assembling a d/c setup for mine since it started clicking. Oh and the aftermarket sucks for it. On the plus, it's one of the easiest cases to rebuild.
