Is that 2" or 3"? Looks like 2" needs to be 3" or more.

Also, Thanks Salad. An IR thermometer is something I do have!

I have about $15k in tools.
And just dropped $2k on a new snapon cart that is being made. Lol

This month wait is killing me. But getting a huge flat black full drawer cart.

I didn't ask about those.

Question: Downpipes
If I replace my factory manifold ('88 Renix), is there a pre-bent downpipe I can buy? Either way, is there a way to get clearance between the downpipe and driveshaft? My u-joints are rubbing it.

Replace with REnix manifold or HO manifold? Yes, you can get clearance for sure if you have one made.

Planning on Renix manifold, initially. Need to research. I don't have a local shop that can mandrel bend, and that's why I'm asking if there are pre-bent pipes I can buy somewhere. The clearance question was more to see if anything can be adjusted. It's likely due to my sagged out springs.

My electric fan is bad, is there any better direct swaps, and is there one year Cherokee that had a better fan or are they all the same? I'm a 99 4.0 Cherokee

There was a change to the angle of the fan blades, but I don't recall the year. Have you hooked it up straight to battery? It's common for the controller to fail, leaving the fan dead. I bypassed the controller and ran mine to a switch in the cab.
