2 things...
1. 4L, 91, all of a sudden was hard to start (fire), sputtered, and smelled a lil funny. Smell could have honestly been stihl Chainsaw, but seems like didn't smell except when I started rig. Ran better down highway, idled rough when still.
I am thinking fuel filter?
2. I just installed a set of RC adjustable lca's. I cranked the bolts that attached the arms to axle and frame with impact. Experiencing some popping noises. Any suggestions?

That's what I thought, that's why I asked.. definitely isn't heat soak. When it ran it ran smooth, never rough or misfiring

New issue, was out wheeling today and my jeep would randomly die when going up or down a climb... it wouldn't start right back up, but if I let it cool to below about 200 it'd fire right back up.. any suggestions? It didn't do it every time I did a climb, and it never did it while driving on the roads and had never done it prior to today. 97 xj country, motor only has 2500 miles on it..

no driving issues at all. like i said, its purely random. i'm gonna throw a cps at it first since they're so temperamental and it's never been replaced (that i know of)

Found a guy parting out jeeps about 50ish miles away. He has a dana 44, cherokee model im assuming, already geared to 4.88 which is what im lookin for down the road. Hes asking $300. Sound like a good deal or atleast worth looking into? Who knows what condition its in though.
