Hello, all
I have a stock 1988 Wagoneer(XJ). I love the thing to death, the only problem is that the transfer case was cracked. I had it welded up, but it still has a slow leak around the cover gasket. Unfortunately, the cover was welded to the rest of the case in the repair process, making it impossible to fix.
My question to all of you guys is this: Can I swap out my 242 t-case with a 231? I already have a 231 in my shed. I bought it from a junkyard in Ohio, they shipped me the 231 instead of the 242. Instead of shipping me another one, they refunded my money.
If the swap is possible, can it be done relatively inexpensively?
I understand that I will lose the ability for 4-full time, but, since my last 85 XJ didn't have that option, it's not a big deal.
