What does JHDC stand for? Looks like a 6-planet gear set... is this the heavy duty one from the Hummer? Details please!

JHDC-Must be a hummer or Dodge t-case.

There isn't anything on there website about the JHDC. Would look nice in the old XJ. Where did you get it? Info please. Juice

It's actually a hybrid setup I built. I started with several 242 AMG's plus one and misc parts of a 242 J. Since the AMG t-case does not have 2wd I used the necessary parts from a Jeep to make it so. I kept as much of the AMG as possible for strength reasons (t-case cooler, big shaft, big chain/gears, 6 planetary low range, and other misc better parts). The photo album link I posted above has some descriptions of the parts shown.

Pretty sweet idea. Now I just have to find a 242 in a busted up hummer. Juice

The easiest thing to do would be to get a V-8 Durango 242 D or a 4.7L Grand Cherokee 242 WJ but either way you will need to figure out how to make the speedo work as these t-cases do not have a gear driven sensor in them like the XJ. I am going to deal with this later.

hey, i have a AMG and am looking to do the same swap without the 2 wheel drive option. can you give me some ideas?
