Here is a link to what I have always heard about 231 vs 242 T cases. https://comancheclub.com/topic/34850-np-231-and-np-242-tc-differences/

You were talking to the wrong guys.

Sorry, I call B.S. The 242 is just as tough if nit tougher than the 231. JEEP even offered them with 4.7 L V-8 engines in the 1999 - 2004 Grand Cherokees. They were also offered in V-8 powered Dakotas and Durangos. The 4 in the series number actually means a stronger unit that ones with a 3. So...

Just to clarify my other response, I had this happen on a 1980 OLDS V-8 engine with similar mileage. The broken ring allowed the compression into the crankcase which then forced large quantities of oily vapour into the cleaner where the oil formed a puddle.

Sounds like a broken piston ring or valve spring. Any oil in the air filter? If this is what it is you could do a cheap fix on just one cylinder

Easier to do if you just buy a cheap $15 mechanics stethoscope!

Drivehsafts and front axle shafts. Picked mine up at a wrecker. Don't need new ones to limp home.

Just drive it like it is. My old 94 ZJ was rolled on my sons ski trip in 2007. We put in a new windshield, crowbarred the hood and fender apart, pounded the roof up and removed the roof rack. 13 years later and she is still going

Check you evap canister i had similar issues with a 2004 WJ where gas station attendants always topped up the tank. This sends raw fuel down the vapour hose to the charcoal evap canister and saturates it. This then throws a code and mine was running very poorly too. A few hundred dollars and a...

I believe you mean galvanized steel body. It isn't an aluminum body.

You are making unsubstantiated claims that are quite frankly ridiculous. The 242 J T-case is quite strong. Check out a site with some knowledge on it. https://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge/transfer-cases/np242/

SelecTrac is not heavy enough to handle the manual? Where did you get that idea? Perhaps you meant the manual trans is not heavy enough to support the T-case as it hangs off the trans. Either way I don't believe it. Selec Trac 242 T-Cases were offered in Grand Cherokees behind 4.7 V-8's and 4.0...

I have an 06 Liberty and an 04 Grand Cherokee. I have the same problem although it is more of a problem in the Liberty. I am 6'4" and size 13 feet. Then being in Canada, try it with winter footwear!

I am looking to increase ground clearance a bit whether that is better springs, a lift, bigger tires etc. I joined this forum to gain information as I know NOTHING about the Liberty 2006 CRD and how to gain clearance. I have a lifted ZJ where I used a Rocky Road 4" kit and that is one crappy...
