The NP242 has an aluminum case and it should have a tag
on the back saying New Process Gear, Model 242. New versions of the
NP242 are refered to as NVG242 or NV242 which stands for New
Venture Gear. The tag on the back of the transfer case will reflect
the name change. Only the name is different. The chain driven NP242
is a full time transfer case with a 48/52 torque split front and
rear. It is possible to lock it into four low so it behaves like a
part-time transfer case. When it is locked in, power will be split
regardless of traction. The output for the front axle is on the
drivers side. Low range is 2.72 and high is 1.00.
Usage
The NP242 is used in Grand Cherokees (ZJ) and Cherokees
(XJ).
