has anyone put in a SYE??
Mr Rock:
I'm not sure on the V8, jeep used a couple different ones on the 4.0L's. I checked his profile and rig section but there is nothing listed.
REMINDER TO ALL, update you rig spec's as you upgrade, It makes it easier for everyone to answer you questions when we know what you have.
I don't think the 242 or 249 is much different from the 231 in terms of installing a SYE.
skibum:
The 249 has a vicus cuppler(sealed clutch pack) & the 242 has an open style diff instead of the cluch pack to give you the 4wd full time option. Have herd that the 249 can cause drive line vibration on lifts of 3in & above. Ditch the 249 & go with a 231. All ZJ V8"s had the 249. Don"t think the 242 was offered in the V8 ZJ but was offered in the WJ with the 4.7l V8. Not shure they make a SYE kit for the 242 but then I could be wrong.

I'm going through this issue right now because i have a 242. Mostly you would have to do a hack n tap, but if you look really hard there are other options. Might be easier to just do a 231 swap and install an SYE while you have the case on the bench. ???

i would go the 231 route

not to mention the 231 is stronger than the other 2
