[RCcola55]

[Reckless]

[Reckless]

[breckboarder55]

That would be the most expensive thermostat housing ever

Try www.daveysjeeps.com before you buy a dealership part or anything.

[RCcola55]

Junior was fresh out and the dealership wants 60 bones

i can get run from rockauto for $25 ot try auto parts pros monday. i really just wanted to play with my new toy

[TdmayfieldIV]

my new toy

which is?

[RCcola55]

a 4.0 HO duh!

[TdmayfieldIV]

In what?

[Seth]

happy-jeep hybrid?

[RCcola55]

exactly!!!! actually its the first 4.0 powered F-250

[TdmayfieldIV]

:flipoff2:

I was kind of hoping it would be a 4.0 powered CAT 797B. It would give power to weight a whole new meaning. Kind of like a truck with terrible gas mileage, mileage so bad you measure in gallons per mile, only you'd be measuring in tons per horsepower.

[colman]

i bet bob has one. text me monday so i can call him

I don't think a 4.0 has enough umph to even be a pony motor for the engine on one of those trucks. :laughing:

[bburris]

What year model is the motor from?

[RCcola55]

its a 92. i got one from a yard here in town, but thanks though, im sure i will need more parts like a SYE kit

[bburris]

Just let me know what I can get for you, I'll work some sort of deal any way that I can.

[RCcola55]

sweet! ill let you know, just shoot me a pm with some prices

[colman]

how high are you lifting. if your just gonna go 35's i dont' think you need one like the wranglers. i know of one in town but it is probably out of your price range

[RCcola55]

probably 5-6in lift and run 36's. Ive seen the kits for under 250 and they werent the hack n' tap

[colman]

i know the one bob has is an advance kit but that is all i know do u want me to ask him how much he wants. actualy i think bobby at house of tires technically owns it. it is currently installed in a 231 which is missing a chain

[RCcola55]

ya lemme know

[bburris]

Our regular price on them is $199.95

[agjohn02]

Zero for two today.

91-01 Cherokee is not the same as a 92 XJ?

[Sharpe]

91-01 Cherokee is not the same as a 92 XJ?

Clarke already has one...

[agjohn02]

Clarke already has one...

Oh, I thought he meant he got the XJ from the yard.

[RCcola55]

[RCcola55]

now i need a 231

[Sharpe]

Why not a 241.

[RCcola55]

aparently it has 242. Will a 241 bolts up?

[colman]

i called bobby today and he said call back tomorrow and he will let me know how much he wants

[Sharpe]

242 is a fulltime case used in .mil hummers.

[RCcola55]

well its got one

[colman]

u shure its not a 232

[RCcola55]

ill take a piture, its a red tag that says new process on it, model 242, ratio 2.72

and it is a full time case, there is this little fulltime light that comes on whn i think i have it in 2wd

[TexTJ209]

NP242s were used in Selec-Trac Cherokees and Hummers.

Not exactly the same specwise, but same case.

[colman]

good to know. the question is what spline is it so to make shure a 231 will bolt in. or do we have to make something work

[RCcola55]

23 i believe. I wanna find a 241j, but i have a feeling it will be a bit out of my budget

[Eckert]

Ive got a np241C with a 23 spline input. except it has the 231 planetary. its missing the slip yoke. but you want a SYE anyways. the face of the 231 and 241 are identical. make me an offer.

[RCcola55]

$1

[colman]

i bet h'd take 50

paddle shifting here we come!

[agjohn02]

be sure to let us know if that ends up working. ive been contemplating it for a future project. it would be hard to make it very robust. the electronic shifters seem like a better solution. im sure the buttons on that wheel suck though.

[Sharpe]

They're meant for NOS! (not the drank)

[AggieTJ2007]

Yes paddles would be sweet and I am sure the flem can figure it out easily
