You honestly think she’s enthusiastic about working on cars? You can tell she has no interest in it nor understanding of what she is actually doing. Her husband has to physically show her what to do and she just does it. Plus she sounds like she has half a brain the way she talks.
Good luck playing in the mud trails in the woods and i hope all the repairs will hold up in the wrecker that you guys fixed up more than once to make it ready for this events coming up on your four wheeling calendars that you guys have been watching for openings everywhere
Great repair, very well thought out and recorded. Haven't pulled a transfer case apart, hopefully never have to, but looks simple enough to do if I need to do so. Thought about pulling a spare T-case and rebuilding it just to have it, the 242's are getting a bit harder to find now since they're no longer in production. I like the selec-trac in my 98 ZJ....great for the times when you need a bit more traction but don't need part-time 4WD....I hardly use part-time 4WD in my ZJ, the snow's gotta get pretty deep for that LOL...between full time and the rear limited slip I can get where I am going most of the time.
I could be wrong on this exact model but I believe many of those are supposed to be assembled without any gasket/gasket maker. I rebuilt a transfer case on a ram 3500 4WD diesel with the 6 speed manual and that didn’t have any sort of gasket from the factory. Upon reassembly I did research and found that no gasket was correct for that transfer case. Few months later it no longer leaks a drop! I replace the seal on the tail shaft as well since the original one went bad which leaked all the fluid out then caused the chain to bust apart and crack the case. Replaced the case and rebuilt the whole thing. Been good ever since then now
In this particular transfer case...there are a few other methods, some use clutches, some use viscous couplers. The NP242 (Selec-Trac) 4WD system was great, it really was full time 4WD, unlike today's systems that only engage when traction is lost and can sometimes engage quite abruptly or other times not at all, or not enough. The NP249 transfer case (quadra-trac) in the 90's Grand Cherokee's had a viscous coupler that would lockup to send power in varying amounts to the front axle, it was in 4WD all the time, no 2WD, but did have low range...the failure point was that viscous coupler but when it failed you still had 4WD, just more of a part-time 4WD as the coupler would lockup and you'd have the tire scrub and hopping issues you'd find in a part time 4WD system. The NP247 used a progressive coupler that contained a clutch pack to vary the amount of power to the front axle...in this case it would be in rear wheel drive until traction was lost then it would progressively send power up front till traction was regained then revert back to 2WD.
stronger springs on the fork and shift forward to reverse a few times and creep at idle. cross fingers and just leave it in full time when off-roading :)
Is this TRANFER same as the chevy 2004 z71 when put it all together? I got a problem that Al the gear the rear and front shaft. When moving the shifter position by hand to 2wd I still see the front shaft moving too
how many planets are in that 242? 3? 4? or 6?. about to rip one apart myself (grand cherokee 2003 w/6cyl and auto) debating getting a 6 planetary for little more strength around the shaft if there is not a 6 in there
The NP242 is an NP231 with the added bonus of the internal differential to allow full time 4WD as well as part time, and low range. Love that selec-trac in my Grand Cherokee...although the NP249 that was in my previous Grand Cherokee lived to 232k before the viscous coupler decided it had enough, at least when it fails you still have 4WD, but its more of a part-time 4WD so making sharp turns on pavement just wasn't gonna happen very well...that Grand Cherokee saw a lot of offroad use so I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did before the thing started failing...it still ran and drove great and the current owner just did a transfer case swap and was back on the road with it pretty quickly and its still running around the valley 9 years later.

Love the instructional videos, keep them coming! You provided better explanation and detail than a lot of channels who do it as their main content.
It's digging now thanks for this video really great, you broke that down beautifully for people to see and understand how things work ...👌
Sweet, love her laugh. How can I see you in the woods if it is a members only event? I am to old to sneak through the woods anymore.
I love mara's enthusiasm! Great video you guys just reduced my stress about splitting a t case with these 2 videos thank you

What a sweetheart Mara is, break's the Jeep, fixes the Jeep and back to the woods to drive it some more

Man she done a dang good job. Dude you could do repair vids as well as off road. I could learn alot from ya.
Wake up, coffee, watch BSF!
...good job, great video....very instructional....every man should be a good mechanic...
Great tutorial video from BSF Recovery Team!
i love this channel fun education!!! yes i agree with repair vids keep em rolling !!!! AWESOME !!!

Great show Eric and mara
hi to you an the wife great vide on the jeep so stay safe by your way
Great job Mara, feels good to fix your own rig don’t it?! 👍😊
For some reason I have no audio on this one. Never happened before in your videos and I watch you a lot!
I got perfect audio from the home page, just not on my sub page. Weird.
Right on.. good job 😉
Very helpfull thanks

Well done, Seat-Cover! Proof dat GIRL-POWER ROCKS! :D
Might want to take a peek at that chunk of silicone blown behind the diff at 3:28, still there before assembly at 5:33.
I was going to post the same thing but ya beat me to it Aaron!!
Awesome!
Well, now I know how they do the full-time/part-time thing.

Y’all need to put some Mud terrain on the jeep and tow truck.
Is this TRANFER same as the chevy 2004 z71 when put it all together? I got a problem that Al the gear the rear and front shaft. When moving the shifter position by hand to 2wd I still see the front shaft moving too
I worked on my Jeep Wrangler today. Nothing like this, but it did involve a Warn winch! (I posted a video) :)

I love this guy .... wish I could get him a np231
I have the same heep and did that swap was the best thing but I had the no 241 ...🤮

What type of fluid did you put in the transfer case?
stuntcardriver Automatic Transmission fluid in that model.
What's going on with the Rubicon
I'm haveing the same problem same transfer case what is the part number for that gear you bought
Sorry, I don't remember the part # or where I got it.
Did you ever find the part #?
Looks like you could use a new muffler.
So when u guys gonna get lockers for it? Lolz also get some weight reduction
Lincoln lock the rear and leave the front alone, he probably doesn't wanna be changing dana 30 shafts constantly
Boy she gets excited....lol....
Lol yeah she does. Watch how excited she gets at 11:45 then watch this
