my t-case shifter has 4 settings 1. 4hi lock
2. 4hi
3. neutral
4. 4lo
I don't have a switch in the glove box or anywhere that I can find. so do I have 2 wheel drive? I almost forgot this, 1982 wagoneer 360/727/219/d44 front/amc20 rear.Also, what is "e-drive" and Is it relevant to my truck?

Here's my response from the "tranny swap" post:
You guys most likely have the NP219 transfer case in your 82 rigs. The 219 is a full time case and was labeled as a "Quadra-trac" by Jeep, it is like a second generation Q-trac. Not a whole lot of info on them....I also have one in my parts rig. I believe the main difference between an original Q-trac and a 219 is that the 219 does not require the special, high $$ lube.
Your 84 rig has a NP229 with a vaccume(sp?) actuated front axel. The 229 has a 2-hi,4-hi(full time), and a 4-low. The 229 is an okay unit if maintained well (like everything else on a Jeep), however it is not recommended for heavy 4-wheeling.
As far as trannys......I *believe* the 727 was an option on 258 powered FSJ's with the tow package. So if that is true, then you should be able to swap pretty easily.
Added:
E-drive is basically 4-hi locked. Your 219 case does not have "e-drive" but it does have a locked hi range, which is essentially the same thing.
The "locked" term refers to equal (50/50) power going to each axel, as opposed to all or most of your power going to the spinning wheel in the "4-hi" position.
Check ot the tech pages for alot of drivetrain (and much more) info on FSJ's

That's the NP219 (later era psuedo Quadra-trac) used from 1980-82. It's a full-time 4WD t-case and as you've noticed it has no 2WD mode. And no you don't need to be concerned about E-drive. It only refers to the original BW QT's from 1973-79.
