Hi, so i just got my first jeep, a 1999 cherokee sport 4.0L

ive been all over the forums and i have a few beginner questions

how do i know:

what transfer case i have

what Differentials i have

what transmission i have

and i have power locks, and the sport was supposedly geared with keyless etry but i never got a remote for it. is there a way i can check?

anyone who has any answers for these it would be much appreciated!

If you have an auto, you got an AW4
If u got a manual, it's an AX-15

The front is Dana 30
The rear is either a Dana 35 or Chrysler 8.25 29 spline.

If your transfer case is 2H-4H-N-4L then it's a 231 transfer case

If it doesn't say that in the order then it's a 242

Oh yes there's a tag In. Front of your differential cover that tell what gearing u have.

If U have a automatic tranny then u got 3.55 gearing and if u got a stick, then it's a 3.07 gearing

Thank you! that is very helpful.

AW4
231 transfer case
all have to check the rear diff

do you know of any sites where i can learn about how all of this works?

i also have a honda civic manual that i use as my daily driver, so coming to 4WD is a bit foreign. i mean ive used 4WD before but never fully understood it.

Do u have abs? If u do then u got Dana 35.

If u don't then u have either Dana 35 or c8.25.

Look under the jeep and look at the shape of the cover, if its perfectly oval then it's a Dana 35

If its oval with a flat lip on bottom then it's a Chrysler 8.25

thank you ill check that out later today after i work! not sure about ABS though...

In the "briefly describe" box just tell them you would like a build sheet and they will email it to you in a couple of days. It will have more info than you could ever want about your jeep.

hey thank you! i sent them a request, hopefully it will come soon
