Subject: [MBZ] Jeep Question(s)



I got Cathy a Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. While I was away, Her 
beloved 116 was having some problems and we really could use a 4WD in 
winter. Anyway, its a '95 w/full-time 4WD or AWD (whatever the correct 
nomenclature).
Every now and then the info display on the dash shows a service 4WD 
Switch warning. 4WD is definitely working and neither of us has moved 
the transfer case lever. The 3 transfer case options are the normal 
high range position, neutral or 4WD Low range. I plan to look for a bad 
connection or wire and possibly remove and inspect/clean the switch. 
Anyone have experience with these, I sure don't.
I'm also looking for info on resetting error codes/computer and also 
wondering if anyone knows of any part-time 4WD conversions. I'm going 
to check Warn on-line for a kit. I was told by someone that I don't 
consider an authority that it can't be done.

That's easy, costs less than $100.
Weld the spider gears in the center diff.
Install locking front hubs.
Remove the front driveshaft.
To turn on the 4wd, reinstall the driveshaft.



Thanks, that was easy.

The center diff in that NV242 will likely take offense to no front shaft.

What center diff? Step one was welding the diff solid. ;-)

Can't you just imagine Cathy crawling under the Jeep in a
foot of snow to bolt up the U-joints to reinstall the shaft?
BTW, I forgot the lock the hubs step in the turning 4wd on
procedure.

That jeep has a full time transfercase. To not blow things up on dry
pavement, the transfercase has a center differential to allow front to rear
slippage. It is either a limited slip or viscous coupler, neither of which
takes too kindly to the front shaft going away.

 Can't you just imagine Cathy crawling under the Jeep in a
 foot of snow to bolt up the U-joints to reinstall the shaft?

With his wife sitting in the truck unamused?

	It definitely doesn't have a 242, that's for part-time 4WD. Its either 
249 or 247. Haven't checked the tag. So far, I have not found a 
conversion kit for the hubs.
