I said it was trickier than the 231. I agree the 231 was a no brainer, grab the handle in and out no problem. The 242 isn't as precise. Have to have the right speed, let off the throttle, shift and then you still have to wait for the disengagement. 2wheel to part time is no problem, it's part time to full time or back that is, I guess for no better terminology "slushier" and then the same going from part time to 2wheel, just not as definite, there is always a lag for disengagement. But drive ability is still a vast improvement not having to worry about hitting a slick spot on the road. I run 4 studded snows during the winter months due to a lot of ice I encounter and shifting the 231 was getting old. Very happy with the swap.

Welcome to XJs. E stands for Ease On Into a Gas Station When You Get A Chance.
Now if only my MJ's fuel gauge had a needle... I've only gone dry once. Motor died at a red light, I started it back up after a minute, and I got just enough to coast downhill and into the station. 22.2 gallons in my 23gal tank.
As for not filling to capacity, they leave air at the top for heat expansion.

At least you have an idea.
Attachment 165294
Fuel gauge, idiot lights (except voltmeter), and shift indicator don't work. Speedometer bounces, too lol

Or, I can send you my old one for shipping. At least you would have a fuel gauge. It has 152,xxx miles on the OD.
Here is an Ebay one that would work in an 88.

Pick up a used one off Ebay that has everything. Mine was like yours then I got an Ebay special. Now I have no more idiot lights. I even found one very close in millage.
