OK so you have a
NEW PROCESS or NP241J as in what I posted way back that they do in fact make one and that they are RARE
but are found in jeeps
you still DO NOT HAVE a NEW VENTURE or NV241
as I said befor READ WHAT I POST
coppied from my post
note that I keep saying NV and not NP
guys I know this crap if you claim NV YOU ARE WRONG
like I said you realy did not know until you looked and still had it wrong
Best I could do for info on the NP241
Starting in about 1987, the New Process 231/241 series transfer case became standard in Jeep, Dodge, and Chevrolet applications. These transfer cases are part time 4WD (Shift positions 4HI - 2HI - N - 4L). They have a relatively thin aluminum housing. They are 1:1 direct drive in high range, and use planetary reduction gears for low range with a ratio of 2.72:1 They use chain drive for the front output. The NP241 was typically used in V8 applications.
Exact identification:
These New Process cases have a circular plate, about 2" in dia., on the rear of the case, in the center. Full identification info for the case is on this plate
Bolt Pattern:
Jeep, Dodge and Chevy versions all use a 6 bolt circular bolt pattern. This pattern is NOT symmetrical and will only bolt up one way. You can typically bolt a Jeep unit to a Dodge transmission and vice versa, however Chevrolet units are NOT cross compatible: While GM uses the same 6 bolt patter, they have it rotate approximately 90 degrees from that used by jeep dodge.
READ THE LAST LINE IN THE FIRST PARAGRAPH
now from what I read the 2 companies merged some time back
this too is in my post as it list NP/NV as case options
I could be a real butt and go through all the posts where you said NV241 and not once said NP241J ,I was the
one who brought the NP241 into this but my info said V8 applications and GM at that but jeep was mentioned
I did some more reading and they are listed as "rare and not wirth looking for to swap in the place of your 231"
the reasons were simple "MAY not work with most SYE kits" and "if you want 4 to 1 low range you need a 231"
I dont know why but what I read
I can probably find it and coppie it if I need to
If you want to argue with me you should first know what you are arguing over
OH and just for a laugh the link you posted with the info about the liberty
was wrong as well they to list New Venture or NV but you posted a pic of a New Process or NP T-case
kinda funny I did not even have on to look at and knew that there was no way you had a NEW VENTURE t-case
OK my head swelling is over now
Well I must say Jason, this would make some sense. There is no way that I thought it was a rocktrax like found in the rubicon. It is a command trac 2.72:1 ratio, so this adds up as well. The info about it being NV is straight from jeep. Since they merged, they must feel that calling it an nv is o.k. My original post point was that our cases hold more fluid and how that has to be good. And since their original application was for v8's, it assures me that these cases are of a heavier duty variety than the 231's. If not, why would jeep even bother...I am sure you will disagree with this though....whatever, you just could not believe our cases were 241's. I felt like I was on trial...
You might want to learn a little about humility....a little goes a long way. But I am glad your head swelling has gone down and you finally figured it out.
But to get back to the origins of the topic, the best part about wheelin with a liberty manual is, while the autos get by with the 3.7 6 cylynder, we get a V8

Bottom line, stop debatin it cause your wrong just admit it. My Rubi is the ONLY jeep in production with the NV241 tcase 4:1 geared...oh and hooperswish, if you are tired of us baggin on you then post up a pic of your tcase to us...surprised you aint done it yet...wonder why 
Anyone know "what % stronger" it is than a 231? I realize thats pretty arbitrary but I like to know these things.
