Used NV249 Viscous Case for Sale — VIN-Verified.

The NV249 is a full-time viscous-coupling case used in the Quadra-Trac Grand Cherokee ZJ, splitting torque through a fluid coupler with no part-time lock. Viscous-coupler health and input spline are the key fitment points, so we verify the coupling and input against your VIN. We bench-check chain wear and coupler drag in a national listing few yards target. The transfer case is the heart of any 4WD or AWD drivetrain — it splits engine power from the transmission out to the front and rear axles, and when it fails, your Silverado, F-150, Ram, Tahoe, Suburban, Wrangler, or 4Runner drops out of four-wheel drive fast. At Ultra Auto Parts TX in Pasadena, just off Spencer Highway in the Houston area, transfer cases are part of our drivetrain specialty, not a random shelf pull in a 10-acre salvage yard. Every unit is inspected before it leaves the building. As Houston's drivetrain specialist, we source used and remanufactured transfer cases for gas and diesel trucks, full-size SUVs, and crossovers across Pasadena, Deer Park, Baytown, Pearland, La Porte, and the greater Houston metro. We match by VIN and transfer case tag ID so the input spline count, shift type, and transmission fitment are right the first time — bilingual, English or Spanish, with a 10-minute response during business hours.

Why buy a quality used transfer cases?

A quality used transfer case costs a fraction of new or dealer pricing and, on trucks and SUVs, is often the smartest fix for a failed unit. Because transfer cases are core drivetrain hardware, Ultra doesn't just grab one off a rack — we check chain, gear engagement, and shift function, verify the tag ID, and match it to your VIN so you get a tested unit that actually fits, backed by warranty.

Common signs you need a replacement

Common transfer case symptoms: whining or growling that changes with speed, grinding or clunking, won't shift into or out of 4WD (or pops out), fluid leaks from the rear output or seals, encoder motor / shift motor failure on electronic-shift units, and internal chain stretch causing slack and noise. Once a case starts leaking or grinding, damage compounds — replace before it strands the whole drivetrain.
