I'm inching my way closer and closer to the day I start tearing up my YJ for the axle swap/SOA. This is obviosly is going to include a SYE and CV driveshaft. Since I'm gonna be yanking the np231 to slap in the new SYE, are there any upgrades I could/should do to it? I've heard you can upgrade the chain to the 241. Is this true? Anything else I could/should beef up while it's open? I'm thinking of trying to find some extra $$$ to get the Teraflex 2wdlow kit, so I don't have to rip her open another time.

yes you can upgrade the chain. I did mine 231, when i had it.
The chain is double in size

Check out the post that 3/4tonYJ had on the 300 flip kit. I think it is made by a company called Back East. You won't need a chain or the mit kit. http://bbs.off-road.com/wwwthreads//showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=offroadjeepshort&Number=447050&page=1&view=collapsed&sb=5

I have the kit you are talking about in my TJ. Its a flipped over dana 300, it works awesome and was an easy swap. I did a write up on it at: http://www.ilovejeeps.com/reviews/article.cfm?ID=34
I hope that helps out.

Thanks for the info, but I'm looking to stay with my 231.

Do you use the chain from a 241 to do it? Where would I get the chain? Is it really worth it?

I know JB Conversions sells rebuild kits and chains (bigger ones too).

Off the top of my head I think the site is www.jbconversions.com

i think it was from a 241 and no I don't think it's worth it. The chain you have now, isn't going anywhere!

Your t-case now is called a 231J, meaning Jeep. The one you want is the 231 dhd, meaning Dodge heavy duty. All of the parts will interchange. Not only is the chain bigger, but there are more planetaries in the reduction unit.
