I think I'm in need of a chain for my t-case. When I'm in 4lo there is a popping noise comming from somewhere, I think it's the t-case. It seems to be just when it is under a load, like climbing a hill. I can drive around in 2wd all day and it is smooth. I thought it might be a u-joint so I dropped the front DS and it is tight and in good shape. The plastic shroud around the "ball" is pretty much non-existant. Should this be a concern? How can I tell if it is the chain slipping without splitting the t-case in two, or is it even possible to tell without splitting it? How much of a PIA is it to replace the chain? Should I replace the gears too? Should I get a 231 to put in it? I did search but couldn't find definate answers for the 242. TIA Any help is welcome. Not looking good for Carnagefest.........

EDIT: On the way home from work tonight I put it in 4part time then in 4 full time and it sounded like the whole drivetrain fell out of the POS. All I could do in 4 full time is rev the engine. 4 low worked. All of this with the front DS out. This is my DD so I put it back in 2WD and that is where it will stay till it dies or I get another t-case. It's ticking ........This sucks..........
