Tune Up
So it's time for a tune up and I need to know what exactly I need. I know I need spark plugs and spark plug wires. Is there anything else I need?

It's a 2001 and I'm very good with cars. I've rebuilt a couple engines so I'm pretty handy. I have always heard so many different things about tune ups so I wanted to be certain. The manual said at 120,000 to replace the transmission fluid, spark plugs, and spark plug wires, among little things too. I was looking into some performance plugs from autozone. Should I not get them?

If you don't know when the cooling system was last serviced it's as good a time as any to do it. Especially with an '01 with the 0331 head. Thermostat, water pump, rad hoses, possibly the fan clutch.

Check fan clutch too. Jeeps can go a longtime and some people see it as why put so much money into maintenance on an old vehicle but keep your jeep going strong buddy

Where do y'all recommend I buy all the parts I need? I've reading through my owners manual and it isn't giving me part numbers. Everything I'm finding online seems to be fine but I'd like to get OEM parts and without part numbers I'm out of luck.

I usually get my parts at Napa. Usually the parts they sell are of OEM quality or better. If you decide to replace the water pump you may as well upgrade it. http://www.quadratec.com/products/71212_100.htm
