Do I need yo worrie about changing the input shaft on tcase

[moneyhungry8604]

@trueblue0133 not if you get a t-case from a 93-95 since yours is a 94

[trueblue0133]

I've got access to the same stuff anything I really should know about doing the swap cause in going tomorrow to get the tcase

[moneyhungry8604]

@trueblue0133 Drain the fluid (obviously for weight reasons) the quadra-trac t-case (np249) coming out of your jeep is about 70 - 80 lbs I recommend a second set of hands when lowering it. The selec-trac (np242) is only about 40 - 50lbs. Other than that it went in relatively easy. Make sure you're shift linkage isn't rusty or stuck mine was and theres a little pin that sticks into a small slot to hold it steady under the truck make sure it did't popped out. Mine did Grab WD-40 you might need it

@trueblue0133 Also, use the speed sensor from your quadra trac t-case not the selec-trac (yours should be orange, use it, not the green one that comes out of the 242). Take the speed sensor out of your t-case before you lower it from the Jeep so it doesn't get damaged on the way out. When you're all done, take out the VIC (screen under the a/c controls). you'll see a set of two small red plugs. Unplug them and find the set of two small black plugs and plug them into each other. (black to black)

@trueblue0133 Switching the plugs tells the VIC that you have the selec trac transfer case and will display the 2 rear wheels lit when in 2wd, 4 wheels lit with PART-TIME in Yellow when in part-time, 4 wheels with FULL-TIME displayed in Green when in 4 full-time, no wheels with Neutral, and 4 wheels and LO in Yellow when in 4LO

Even at 90% idunno man.... when i got my 95 5.2 4x4 before doing anything to it I got almost 8 seconds flat!! I'm still waiting on a performance ECU....not sure how much a performance ignition module will do.

@98MAzdaMilleniaS My current vid of it was taken when it just had the FM 40, sounds COMPLETELY different and better after these mods....

@moneyhungry8604 My 1999 Cherokee XJ Classic has bored throttle body to 62 mm with TBS, AEM Cai, Cat delete, FM 40, and 2 1/2 inch piping after muffler(was 2 1/4)... 0-60 in 7.9-8.1 according to Vbox. Want to race ? :D

@trueblue0133 No problem always happy to help a fellow Jeep owner! I have a shop with air tools, lifts, and some help, and it only took us a an hour and a half (90 mins). Keep in mind that my Jeep here was our first ever swap. Now it takes us only 1 hour.
