Same as in your trans...right?

Nice sharp pic of the front of your motor.


What camera are you using?

I hope not. The AW4 auto trans is designed to use Dex/Merc. The NP231 transfer case doesn't care what you put in it as long as it has trans fluid

Thanks, iPhone 6 Plus lol.

Also just finished installing the tranny cooler with my home-made brackets:

As of right now, I just need to add fluid

+1 I just added Dex/Merc while doing my transmission oil. That's what it calls for.

How do you find out what transfer case you have ???? 2000 sport

Lol! Right on! I think I'm going to upgrade my fan clutch soon (I've had the Jeep for 3 yrs and never done it) and use the same one as you. I've heard it's a very slight fuel drain but since I rarely ever drive mine (~4k this year), it's a non-issue and the increased capacity seems worth it, especially in the south where temps are typically higher longer.

If your shifter says
2WD
4HI
N
4LO

It's a NP231.

If it has a position that says Full Time, it's a NP242

If you're running a larger transmission cooler, which gets in the way of the radiator, the larger fan will make up for the decreased air flow, giving you the performance you'd expect in a Cherokee.

Firestone mt

You have my seal of approval. That's my favorite tire on the market

Just the stock one as of right now, but you never know. If I'm going to replace the fan clutch I figure I may as well upgrade. Any downside(s) you're aware of?

Started working on my shackle relocation brackets. All I planned on doing today was to drop the shackles so I could measure mark and cut the parts to make the brackets. Well as all good plans go, this one didn't

The passenger side upper bolt came out with just a little elbow grease, a 24" breaker bar and a lot of penetrating oil. The drivers side started out the same, but got hung up in the sleeve which in turn started to spin inside the bushing. I ended up borrowing a reciprocating saw and cutting it off. Burned through a few blades and broke a few more, but about 90 minutes ago I managed to cut it through enough to break it off and get it free of the shackle box.

Tomorrow morning I will disconnect the shocks and drop the springs out of the way get my measurements, do some cutting and welding and put it all back together. Really wishing I had done the cut and fold when I replaced the quarter panels, it would have gave me so much more room to work

Yesterday in my 2002 WJ Laredo, I replaced the front driver's interior door handle assembly. The door handle actuator rod slipped out when I was installing new front door speakers the other day and the plastic broke around the hole the door handle actuator rod fits into, so I replaced it. The door handle actuator rod also got bent in the process, so I bent it back into place.
