another hack n Tap question?

feelinsomewheelin · Sep 24, 2008

I was looking into RE Hack n Taps for a 242. the pre 96 comes in 2 pieces, the part you bolt to the t case (Red) and the part that bolts to the DS. The 96 + only comes with the part that bolts to DS. I dont know what the year the case is because i pulled it from a junk yard but i do know its stamped 242 J. From looking at the case i would assume i would want the 231 pre 96 Hack n Tap. Can anyone set me straight. Thanks Here is a site to show what im talking about. http://www.rockymountainsusp.com/SlipYoke.htm

Post up a pic of the output shaft/cone on your 242 and someone should be able to tell.

Dont have a camera but it has two tail cones the speedo and the final tail cone, is that the info you need?

If you pull the driveshaft off the slip yoke, does it expose a way for fluid to get in and out? If it does, then you need the red piece too.

a pre 96 tcase has a "wet" spline on the ds the second peice of the RE sye is a seal that gets pressed in to the red peice in the kit which bolts to the back of your tcase. a post 96 tcase has a smaller tail cone with a seal around the output shaft instead of around the outside of the drive shaft.

so the real quesiton is are your splines wet or dry. also the year is usually stamped right on the back of the tcase on that information tag. i forget how its said but on the 3 tcases ive had its always had the year on that tag.

Tranny fluid leaks out when tipped tail cone down so im just guessin i dont have a seal. Thanks for the information.

Well, you would have a seal, it would just seal around the driveshaft instead of the output shaft of the t-case (which is what you want).

The 231 kit will work for my 242, are the splines and diameter the same

Bottom line is you need the Pre-96 kit.

Thanks thats what i figured but wanted to double check befor i throw 200 dollars into a part i wasn't 100 percent about. Thanks for the information.

ok thank you, this thread got me all confused. so why would one use the kit for a 231 on a 242?

Begster · Nov 29, 2008

What do you mean use the kit for a 231 on a 242? The H&T will fit both the 231 and the 242. The HD SYE will only fit the 231.

another hack n Tap question?
