I replaced the tank in my ‘91 last year with one I got off Amazon for the same type of leak you described. If you are talking about the plastic tank protector not really fitting as well, mine didn’t. I think you can see on the picture of the new one but it’s being held in by the straps but I...

I should add, my thought is potentially replace the cable and speed sensor on the transfer case if needed. I’d like to at least locate a source for the parts before I start pulling on 30 year old wires and potentially make things worse. That’s why I haven’t started poping things out yet to...

1991 Laredo. Far from stock but from what I know the cluster, 242 transfer case, and points in between are original. It’s entirely possible however that they aren’t. Pretty sure it had cruise control once upon a time. Speedometer started occasional bouncing. It never goes above the actual...

I’m chasing down a long crank issue on my ‘91. It was often a little long, but this week it’s gotten worse. It’s only when it sits overnight or at work for a long time. When it does crank unusually long it then stumbles for a bit before clearing out and after runs and starts like usual all...

It was the hard lines that leaked. I replaced all hard and soft lines including the long run from front to rear. Also had to end up replacing a proportioning valve. Antilock has been eliminated on this one so it’s probably a little simpler than it once was. I think that was part of swapping...

There are probably a bunch of similar discussions regarding this but I haven’t found one yet that is exactly what I’m looking for. I picked up a ‘91 this year. First XJ but hopefully not the last. I’m using this one as a winter vehicle and a commuter. So far I’ve put 4,000 miles on it and it...

Same here, I’ve rebuilt a 231 but never seen a 242 apart. I’d like to see how it’s different. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Strike the part about the light changing, I can move the handle but the light on mine doesn’t always indicate what mode it’s actually in as far as I can tell. I might be miss remembering that part. The part about having to drive forward or back to get it to shift modes however is accurate...

For what it’s worth, I’ve had two 231s, both in the same Jeep since I did a SYE on a donor and swapped it in, and a 242 on another. Both of the 231s shifted smoothly between modes in place. As long as I could get the shifter to move the light on the dash would change and they would be in that...
