Hi, my name is Anthony. I'm retired and enjoy off-roading, tinkering around, metal detecting, the outdoors, gardening, those types of activities.

My jeep is a 1995 (ZJ) 5.2 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited that I got a couple of years ago, it had 75,000 miles on it, now it has 119,000. The ZJ is stock, and just recently I fryed the viscous coupler in the NP 249 J transfer case. The VC because bound up as I was doing about 50 mph on a slippery muddy road.

The first thing that I notice was the TCM defaulting the transmission into working/pulling/strain mode. But I had previously I'd noticed some binding and chirping on pavement during a turn. Now I'm in the market for a remanufactured, or mayby rebuilt NP 249 J TC.

Anyway here's a what I can remember replacing so far, and a few of photos, and no that's not the muddy road that I toasted the VC coupler on:
