Headin down to Uwharrie today to do some wheelin, left the house... la-te-da, singin bluegrass..

then BANG GRIIIIIIIND.... Sucker went into 4 wheel Hi part time (242 case btw) and just started grinding... grinding.. but I couldn't get any power to the wheels. Its like it shifted into neutral, dropped tranny to third gear

... started goin again... BANG GRIIIIIIIND... I looked for an exit to turn off on and I got off... Then It started it again except this time It wouldnt go back in gear, just grinding. Acted like it was in neutral, wouldnt even stay put in Park


We ended up pullin it behind a buddy's truck 15 miles to his house, grinding the whole way... I got out... started playing with the TC linkage and I got it goin again, still grinding in any part time 4WD setting though..

BANG GRIIIIIND Again... played with linkage some more and nursed it home... Now the damn thing doesnt like to stay in 2wd at all in the TC... I'm thinking its stripped inside...

Sound like a rebuild is needed?
 
Haha it doesnt sound to good man...sorry to hear that. I'm going to be moving down to the whee here over x-mas. I've got a 242 up for sale as well if your interested. I've never had a t-case blow on me but that doesnt sound good sorry to hear that man.
 
I bought one off a 93 ZJ a few weeks ago that I can strip parts from, lucky I bought it...

Hit me up when you get there, I go back to school Jan 13th, lots of good spots up off caney fork and Locust Creek.
 
Ya i went to school there last year i've been on most of the trails...i'll shoot you a pm on here when i get down there...i'll be building my zj though and it probably wont be ready untill summer.
