I just picked up a 90 cherokee 4 door with rusty's 6.5 inch longarm.
It has a aw4, 242 TC, dana 35 with 3.55 gearing and 33 inch tires.
My question is the owner says the engine was rebuilt 50,000 miles ago, I can cruise on the freeway in overdrive up hill and it has the power to hold overdrive. from what I see It has a rusty's intake, bored throttlebody, and TB spacer.
My other 90 cherokee had 31 inch tires and 3.73 gearing and I had to keep it in third at any sight of a hill.
This thing has some power, does this sound right?

All well must be normal.

the new one has prob been regeared for the bigger tires did you do that to theold one

cherokee77

The new one is not regeared. It has 3.55 gears thats why I dont understand.

THENNING

the tb spacer and bored throttle body would give you a little extra power if im correct

cherokee77

I would agree with you but 2 inch bigger tires, and 3.55 vs 3.73 I dont think a tb spacer and bored tb would make that much difference. Actually I know it wouldn't.
Maybe my old jeep was just real tired I guess.
