hello i am new to the forum but not reallly to cherokees, ive owned 2 now.
here is my question. i have a 1999 cherokee with the 4 liter motor. one day i was doing the oil change and noticed on the sticker on the valve cover that it looks like the motor says its a 1996 model. i heard that only 99' and 00' interchange. is this true? or what is the difference? just computer stuff? any info would be greatly appreciated
thank you!
