How about some civility there?

Actually, I have used them due to the higher compression and HP of my motor but quit using them for a set of their Bosch Super Copper instead. As for MaxLife, I use 20-50 in my Stroker motor with a Napa Gold (Wix) oil filter. My IH motor ran good and strong and it took two 4.0s to try and out pull me but to each their own and own preferences.

Anything really common for fire causes in Cherokees? The previous owner had a small fire in the engine bay on the driver side. I still need to get a fire extinguisher somewhere within arms reach of the drivers seat

Well crap, I'll have to keep to pay attention to that until I can pick up some Neon injectors.
