NP242 tcase rebuild kits, chains, inputs

[DirtyComanche]

I want to freshen up the NP242 I have sitting on the shelf.  Application was 1987 XJ.

 

It seems you can't easily get an OEM NVG chain from them anymore, but the Mopar number is still active and $300 USD online.  Ehhh...  Maybe I missed where I can get one.

 

Is Cloyes any good?  They're available and inexpensive.  P/N appears to be 10028 if anyone could verify.

 

For a rebuild kit it looks like the easiest one I can get is the SKF STCK242.  Any reason not to?

 

Last question is I have a 23 spline input from a 94 Dodge NP241DLD that I want to use in it.  As far as I know it should interchange into the 242, the gear pitch is correct and I think they're the same bearing.  Any idea if it isn't?  I'm aware the input length is wrong for most things, but I'm bolting it to a TJ NV3550 so it will work.

If you need a 242 rebuild kit. I have a spare one I got from Novak. Great quality includes a chain. Happy to let it go for $100 plus shipping.

I have an AlloyUSA chain with omix-ada glides and filter pickup in my 231 and its still working for my DD XJ.  I've used 4x4 quite a lot since too.  

 

That deal Limeyjeeper offered is pretty good.  I paid $80 for just the chain.

What brand of bearings are in their kit?

 

I'm in Canada so you'd have to deal with international shipping.  Not sure if you want to do that.

Yea didn't see that. Probably not. It is pretty heavy. It would cost a lot to ship and I don't really want to deal with the customs stuff
