| XJ cherokee models
Is this the best to worst top 4?: From what the internet says It goes like this: Limited Pioneer Sport Laredo JW Im look at a 2dr 4x4 1988 Limited (4speed auto)and just wanted to know which is the best, Im pretty sure its not a np231 .and Im also pretty sure its a dana 35 in the rear. But im not going to abuse it that bad if I DID get it. I might go look at it Tonight! |

the limited came with a NP242 transfer case and NO vacuum disconnect front axle. I like the NP242, it has part time high and low 4wd AND a full time highway high speed 4wd, it is marginaly weaker than the NP231 but not enough to mae me worry. | |

| you dont need it, if you have the np242 TC. if the TC shift plate has 3 4wd positions its the 242, if it has 2 positions then its the NP231 either way its fine

Needs one of three things replaced to fix the oil leak. Clean the area around filter housing, rear of valve cover/firewall, and rear main seal are where motor and tranny touch. Use some Simple Green or even a high end degreaser, but be careful with that stuff. Rinse and let dry. 1st: replace the "O" rings in the oil filter housing (dealer parts) $7 2nd: replace the valve cover gasket ("RightStuff") auto parts store $12-15 3rd: replace rear main seal (up to you if you do it or someone else) Most people go for rear main right away, "because they always go out". That's not true. Check the other things first. |

Gotta say X3 here, we've had a base model '88 (Dad's first XJ), '90 Larado (Dad's second, but with the notorious Beenwrecked ABS system), '92 Briarwood (Little Sister's, with a Chrysler designed ABS), and '98 Limited (mine, with no ABS ) all with the 4.0l/AW4/242. One of the best setups to have in the midwest since you have the 4FT for most road conditions and 4PT and 4Lo just in case. | ||
