All other Jeeps (there is no longer a Cherokee) including Liberty, Grand and Commander use the Full Time cases and have since 1996, including the 242, 245 and 247 as well as the new Freedom Drive I & II units. Grands have not used the 242 since 2005.
The 242 is also found in Dodge Durango and Dakota.
There is no 242 "Part Time" case, they are all Full Time cases with a part time option, that's why they are preferred by many, they give you the option.
You can still get the 241 HD and 271 in full sized Dodge Rams, but with the exception of 3500 and up Rams, it's days appear to be numbered.
Since Ford and GM buy cases from the former Dodge Division known as New Process, you can expect them to follow, as GM and Ford do not make their own cases and as of 2009, only Dodge will offer a truck with a live front axle.
Ford and GM will have abandon live axles in favor of IFS by 2009.
Of course by 2009 there may no longer be Dodge, Ford or GM, so that is up in the air....

fulltime seems sluggish
my m884 fulltime seems sluggish compared to my parttime trucks. not sure if sluggish is the right term, perhaps rolling resistance is more appropriate. I can't make an apples to apples comparison because my parttime trucks are 4 speed and the fulltime is an automatic. It almost feels like the parking brake is still partially engaged. I have to depress the accelerator fairly hard to get her going. its not the tires, tall skinny 235 85 r16 brand new. on flat level ground when put in Drive she will sit there and not creep forward. is this normal?

aamco
ive heard nothing but bad things about aamco. a friend of my dads had a 9's the 95 body style with the v10 i belive but he took it there and he was always getting screwed around. best place to get a tranny done is to try and find a small one or two guy tranny shop. we had our 727 rebuilt with a HD rebuild kit and new tourque converter all together we paid like 500-550. we did the removel and put it back in. the tranny works great. alot of places around here charge 1000.00 just for the rebuild. or if there cheap they dont work. this was a 1 man shop trying to make his buisness better!
