A couple weeks ago, somebody asked about the factory cargo lamp for Comanches. The wire runs up the driver side B-pillar and is a single spade connector. The three-spade connector in the same B-pillar is for the dome lamp.

Good deal. I'm not surprised!! Those connections gave us fits when the Jeeps were new at teh dealership. I'm sure they've only gotten worse with age.

Default replacing old vacuum lines

So my 97 cherokee se 4.0l 6 cylinder has a vacuum leak and considering that the lines are the originals I am just going to change them all instead of tracking down the leak. My question is simply what is the best size line to buy to replace everything.

I had a buddy check under my hood. I have a slight whistling noise and also a tick like noise that increase when the accelerator is pushed down. He said he thinks i have a small exhaust leak at the headers somewhere. He said that the black soot stuff on the engine part next to the airbox is from that leaking exhaust. Does this sound like a possibility? And would i have to buy all new headers? And would this cause bad mpgs?

Just got some aftermarket fog lights, but I am unsure of whether I want to put them in the factory spots or on the top of the bumper. What should I do?

I know I need an alignment, but here's my question. Both front tires are noticeably wearing on the outer edges. Does that mean they are pointed in at the front or out?
