98 5.9 Grand Cherokee used the 249 t-case which used a Viscous Coupler type differential in the t-case. Very good AWD t-case IMHO, better at power transfer F/R than the 242. The 249 VC got a bad rap because they tend to start failing about 100k miles and would cause driveline bind as they tend to fail in the locked mode due to contamination of the special fluid inside the coupler.
AWD Dakota R/T
Humor me on my weekend snowed in.
Not really something Im looking into doing (well maybe waaaay down the road depending on the replies I get). More of "can this be done/how hard would it be?"
My buddies were throwing around ideas about doing AWD setups, one has a 500hp Del Sol and he was saying that some CRV driveline parts are used to do this for his car and it isnt TOO hard to do. Then my other buddy has a Cobalt and said its been done on other Cobalts using certain model Porsche parts.
Well a Durango R/T rolled by and got me thinking... Im probably over simplifying things but wouldnt the trans/transfer case and other parts needed from the Rango swap right over? Maybe need a custom drive shaft made. I dont know... :huh:
Thoughts, opinions?
