Well shit i have been chasing a miss guess i found the prob
02-05-2013, 11:00 AM
Ok here we go again motor is coming out
02-05-2013, 11:07 AM
Ouch, whats the plan this time?
02-05-2013, 11:56 PM
well I would like to say stroker time but its just not in the budget right now so im going to have a local guy re due the bottom end and stick it back in.
The question is now do i have the trans gone through while its out hmmmmm
02-07-2013, 12:29 AM
busy couple of nights but motor and trans are out ready to go to builder
02-07-2013, 12:35 AM
If the trans wasnt giving you issues and the fluid looks good, I wouldnt worry about having it re-done. I have 180K on mine and its still going strong. I would just do a simple fluid and filter change, along with adjusting the bands.

Well that should fix the miss!! Turns out motor was allot worse than I thought! Bearings and cam were pretty bad and took 30 over to clean up cylinders but good to go now!!

Looks great , long time comming too.
07-16-2013, 10:13 PM
well as with everything else on this thing my 242 took a crap so after much research and some conversation with jb conversions I bit the bullite and ordered a 231 HD
it came in today

I'm digging this thread. It looks like you've had some pretty bad luck. You've already replaced the motor, trans, and now TC? I guess axles are next to explode but I hope not, for your sake.
07-17-2013, 10:07 PM
Yea its been a money pit and I have never as of yet even had it off road to abuse it and rear axle was replaced with a Dana 44A cuz the 35 was making all sorts of bad noises has new bearings and trussed
http://mallcrawlin.com/forum/showthr...-44-Alum-build
and the 35 has new seals bearings and cv axles which one of the boots has a hole in with less than 1000 miles on it auto bone crap!!!!
maybe i should just give up on this one lol

The input shaft on that 231 looks too short for the WJ. Maybe just the angle of the pic. Did you compare it to your old 242?
