Best Regards Bartek
my jeep cherokee sport 1998,make a noise when use the switch reverse,seems steel with steel ,do you know if is normal?
Holy shit that chain was loose. You drive in 4wheel alot huh lol
that’s not worn out at all! lol christ i cant believe it still works!
Mine wasn’t that bad but a slight click will be a dead give away its going! and do Not buy cheap china chain mine blew apart after 20k.
To who ever said the the 242 is the strongest case ever offered by jeep,google dana 300.
If the 242 is so great why do serious offroaders run a dana 300? Because it is the strongest,most upgradeable,sought after case jeep ever offered.
i have a 97 grand cherokee laredo and my t-case sounds like a ringging noise . WHAT IS THE PROBLEM????? PLEASE HELP it is not all wheel drive ……. i have 2wd and 4 lo and 4 hi option.
Well, how arrogant of you.
I actually have a Cherokee myself with this EXACT problem, so it’s very useful to someone like me who would like a visual as to whats making the horrible grinding sound when he drives.
Save your shitty self-righteousness for somewhere else.
what a tool…
what type of noises was the transfer case making before the replacement?
Lame vid
its a 48/52 split in 4 hi, 50/50 in 4 part time.
I had an np242, then a 231, now Im back with a 242.. have to say I prefer the 242 with its fulltime 4wheel drive. It just gives you more options and more control than the part-time cases. Good vid.
Well the Grand Cherokee’s from 93-96 had the NP-249 with 4 All Time , NEUTRAL and 4 LO as selections where as both 4 All Time and 4 LO were 4WD with a viscous coupling, and in 4 LO the power was increased with a ratio of 2.72:1 (Increased power with 2.72 times the power in 4 All Time) And THEN we have all the late ZJ models from 96-98 with the NV-249 (Notice the NV instead of NP) with a lock mechanism that interlocks the front and rear driveshaft in 4 LO, with viscous coupling in 4AT.
Well if the 242 sucks then nothing must be good enough for you. The 242 is the most solid transfer case ever offered in any Jeep. It’s got plenty of 4×4 modes to choose, 2wd as well so a reason for why it sucks just seems non existent for me. The other T cases are built up the same way basically so if this one sucks, then every single t case must suck as well from your perspective.
Fact is that everything gets worn with time no matter how great they are from the beginning.
how did you realize it was your chain..? my truck on take off rumbles, and idk what it is… not that i look at this, it gave me an idea… please reply to me, or send me a message in my inbox.. thanks
Ur duM.
i have a rpoblem in my ml430 when the car is in P and then select D i push the gas and ,sound like , clack clack clack clak clak,, a noise in the middle of the car i cant enjoy my car :S
Does the 242 have same kind of full time 4wd as the 247?
was it easy to change to take the sproket off? my chain is really loose. or i should say it is loose. because when i back up with any throttle it slips really bad. iam thinkin a new chain would fix it.
Why’d you waste your money on a Grocery Getter Jeep?
Would a stretched out chain on a selectrac jeep grand cherokee make a rumbeling noise underneath the drivers side after 30 mph? And then the sound will go away after letting off the gas slightly?
QuadRA-tRAC is the np249
what transfer case is Quadartec???
Did this make a noise when driving down the street? if so, did it not have any noise while driving until you hit abuot 30+ mph? I have a noise with my transfer case and its the np242 as well, but it doesnt make a noise while in park, N, or 1st and 2nd gears (manually shifting then) but if i put it in drive and its over about 30 mph it’ll start this whining noise…not sure what it is
did u have to remove any gears or just split the case im not shure if the chain comes appart or if u have to remove a gear
selec track is awesome! especially on snow roads with parts of it cleared u can just drop into full time 4 and you are good to go!
this video helped me so fuck all you haters
can someone tell me the diff betweed the np242 and the 241?
my transfer case makes a weird noise do you think it might be the drive chain? the only way i could describe the noise is that sounds like if you were to fill a coffee can with bunch of nuts and bolts and spin it. I have a 1997 np231 and idk if the chain has ever been replaced.

i have a 1995 xj with a 4.5 in lift and a 1in tcase drop and a stock driveshaft it looks like the yoke is pulled out really far i was wondering if it would cause any problems because whenever i put it in 4 hi it just winds up and sounds like the t case isnt engaging all the way or the chain is loose should i upgrade to a longer cv driveshaft or would that even make a difference HELP PLEASE
Never mind, there is only 1 size chain for the NP242, Chrysler parts guys are morons…
I have a 99 Cherokee with the NP242 and the chain is slipping real bad. I have looked online for chains and they are all around $100 I went to the dealer ship today to see their prices and they said that there are 3 different chains for the NP242. I think they are full of shit but idk.
Anyone know?
and dsmit376 where did u get your chain?
results*, in order*, grooves*
Love,
Spell Check.
when your chain was loose like that did it make a clicking noise whne you accelerated?
where u haveing problems with ur 4 wheel drive b4 u changed chains?
For better resolts take the t-case out.You need to clean all surfaces inorder to apply silicon.Make sure to check your drive and driven gears for pits or groves.
My dad has a 2001 Jeep Cherokee and was wondering did you have to take the whole transfer case out to fix the chain on?
right now the prices are up to $300-$500 to get it pofessionally fixed.
can you possibly give some step by step instructions? It would be a great help. Thanks!
i may have a similar problem…i know mine makes a knocking sound when you go over bumps or turn, and it comes from undernear, like where the trans case and transmission is located….the knock isnt a u-joint or anything becuase that sounds totally different, i probably have a worn bushing somewhere,
uum, its was just my exhaust hitting my cross member. haha. “tweaked” it outta the way. and now i got another problem. its either piston slap, or a loose torque converter. hoping to god just a loose torque converter *cross fingers*
THANKS!! : D
